2nd Anniversary

Two years ago today I became a married girl! I can honestly say that the day can be summed up into one word...surreal. I always thought I was the one who would live but the phrase, "always a bridesmaid, never a bride." but then came Josh.  The day was amazing from hanging out with my best friends & Captain, my walk with my Daddy to the Top Gun Theme, the AMAZING party that my parents put on, and to the AMAZING DJ who kept the dance floor packed all day, and to end it with "I've had the time of my life" was priceless.

I never became a Bridezilla because there were only a few requests that I had:

1. Walk down the aisle to the anthem to Top Gun.  No Josh has nothing to do with the Navy, but that is hands down my FAVORITE instrumental piece  of music
2. Have a Chocolate wedding cake. My favorite cake is chocolate & that cake was to die for! The entire room smelt of chocolate
3. My dress to have a little fun in it with the green theme of the wedding.

And all of my requests came true, the cake was fantastic even a year later! 

Now we may not of had the most romantic 2nd Anniversary with going to dinner to Claim Jumper & watching Monday Night Football, but I know Josh loves watching football & sometimes life gets in the way.  But then again, that is just us!

Cheers to many more years Josh!

I know my beans

Tonight Josh made dinner since it is my long travel day for work. I told him I was craving Mexican food so we decided on burritos with taco meat and rice.  He was awesome and cooked the entire meal while I changed and took a little siesta on the couch.

Once dinner is ready he wakes me up to come and eat.  As I get my tortilla heated and ready to put my beans into place I notice that they beans have a weird color and texture to them. As I sniff out my beans with a crinkle nose and odd look on my face I have Josh telling me "just to eat them they are fine!" Not trusting him and knowing that these are not the normal Rosarita Refried Beans I go on the hunt for the can. And what do I find...yes these are Rosarita Beans BUT they are BLACK! Ha, I knew it and I don't eat black beans! They have a strange texture, smell weird, and taste like dirt.

Needless to say, I know my BEANS and I am proud of it!

PS.  GO CHIEFS!!!

Airports...

For this wonderful Labor Day weekend I am lucky enough to spend it with my cousins.  I had to make the decision if I would drive the 6 hr drive alone or if I would just fly up here. In the end I chose to fly.

Flying these days are out of control. One would think that majority of the population knows the strict security rules that the airlines & airports have, but no.  Not only did people in front of not have his/her ID ready to show to go up to security they even forgot their boarding pass...really?! Since when do we get our boarding passes issued at the gate? Then there are those that think its ok to bring water/soda bottles, etc etc. Come on people read the rules or just watch the news! Signs are everywhere!!

Now the actual time in the air wasn't that bad, could use a bigger bag of pretzel's, but hey, times are tough.

As we land and are taxing to the gate out of all 20 gates to debark the airplane the gate we go to is occupied by another airplane.  So instead of getting in on time we sit on the tarmac for 20 mins.  Then comes the dreaded baggage claim.

Yes, I know I could've made it easier on myself for not doing checked baggage, but that is a whole different topic of its self.  People are CRAZY at baggage claim. They are like vulture's. First of all the second you get off the plane doesn't mean your baggage is waiting for you downstairs. Again, you just read the signs and it will let you know when the bags are on their way. The best part is when the belt starts moving is when the vulture's come out. They all run to the belt and block each other out waiting for his/her luggage, but when you are the one trying to squeeze in to get your bag no one moves. If they do move out of the way its only body width that doesn't include room to turn and put luggage down.

I guess what I am trying to say is this. Just read the signs and know what you are expected of at the airport and when you are at baggage claim if you leave a 2-3 ft. path between you and the belt it would make it easier for those people to get their luggage and for you to wait for yours. :)
