Anniversary Weekend!

What a memorable anniversary!











We stayed in a great hotel,






















ate fabulous food and had a wonderful time together. We ate at The Tavern on Friday night. Then we went to the hotel and had a soak in the jacuzzi tub and shared our desserts. Saturday morning Glenn presented me with a beautiful necklace. Then we walked down to a little French bistro for breakfast. This restaurant totally gave me all kinds of inspiration for this restaurant that I want to start. Glenn wants me to write it all down. It is going to be a dessert restaurant called Heaven. We would only serve desserts. It would be a gourmet experience with down home touches. I would also feature an extra seasonal menu for the holidays. I want it to feel totally fancy when you walk in but as soon as you sit down you can get comfortable and enjoy yourself. We went over tons of details on how we could accomplish this. It was so fun to have time to dream together.
After breakfast we walked over to the down town Boise farmers market. It was fun to walk together arm in arm looking and admiring all the different booths and shops. Later that evening We had dinner @ Chandlers, the restaurant in our hotel. The food was sooo good!! They gave us dessert on the house for our anniversary. That was sweet of them.
We went back to the hotel room and Glenn made up this game for us to play called Marco Polo "Kiss Me". (I personally think we should come up with a better name for it) it was sooo fun! One person closes their eyes and spins around ten times. In the mean time the other person has to hide somewhere in the room. When the person stops spinning he keeps his eyes closed and says "kiss me", then the other person has to make a kissing sound. The person with their eyes closed tries to find the other person by repeating "kiss me" and the other person making the kissing sound in the same fashion as Marco Polo. When the person with their eyes closed tags the other person their reward is that they get to kiss the person where ever they want. Then the players switch. I didn't know he had it in him to make up such a game. Maybe he read it somewhere. Either way it was totally fun!
We went back home on Sunday to take the Girls to church. All in all it was a great week end to celebrate five fantabulous years!

5 years!

This weekend is my 5 Year Anniversary!

June 28th, to be exact. As I look back on the person I was 5 years ago there has been lots of changes.

I have grown up tremendously!

I still try to maintain my bubbly personality, but it is much harder to do now a days.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Family, but they can turn my happy face into Angry Mom on the War Path in a heart beat. My marriage has not been what I expected (let's face it we all want it to be a romantic movie everyday), but it has been exactly what I anticipated at the same time. HARD WORK! I truly and deeply know that my husband loves me with ALL of his heart. He tries, to his best ability, to treat me like his queen. He does the laundry while I cook. He runs to the store for me five minutes before we are expecting guests because I forgot one of the ingredients for what I was cooking. Getting up early in the morning to help get the girls ready for the day so I can get an extra hour of sleep. There are so many things that he does to help make my life easier; I truly am thankful for the wonderful man I chose.

We are going to be spending this years anniversary here in Boise @ the Hotel 43. It is "A Stylish Downtown Boise Hotel". Check it out @ hotel43.com. Two wonderful night! Just the two of us! I am VERY Excited!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!!

Starting a blog

I am starting a blog to give myself a hobby or a place to share my hobbies and get some feed back on likes an dislikes of things that I make. It is also a place were I can vent my frustrations and share my joys. I am not the best writer by any means so if I have any writing or spelling errors please keep it to yourself.

I am also starting this to give my family and friends back in Cali an idea of how I am doing.

I am working full time at a small company that does billing for school based medicaid here in Idaho. My husband, Glenn, works with me. We are account administrators and do data entry. Glenn is actually a Network Administrator by profession, but he just does that on the side for now. We love our job!

We have two children, Marlena & Kayla. Marlena is 14 and will turn 15 in October; Kayla just turned 12 on the 21st of this month. You will probably be hearing A LOT about them! I LOVE them to death, but BOY do they know how to push my buttons. "The Girls" (as you will soon find out, this is how I refer to them a lot of the time) are Glenn's from a previous marriage. They are mine now though.My husband and I have not been able to have any children together yet. We have been trying for over 2 years now.

I LOVE to cook and be crafty! I will be posting pictures and ideas of new things that I do. I would love to have feed back on what you think about them. If I ever do have a baby, I would like to be able to start my own business selling things that I make. So I need very honest opinions about if you think I would be able to sell my crafts and goodies.


I am trying to lose weight too. Glenn and I have been going to the gym at least 3 days a week for the past three months. We are trying to eat better, that is the hard part. Glenn is doing great! My progress is moving a lot slower than I hoped. I will keep you posted on that too.
Stay tuned for what I have in store for you. It will be something different every time, I'm sure! This is new for me so be patient as I learn how to do this blogging thing. You will be hearing from me soon! Yayah!
