I have been hearing and seeing a lot of this website. I was never curious about it until today.....and let me tell you that I love it so far. I found so many recipes that I'm going to try out and all the DIY projects seem so easy. I found my new addiction.....lol.

Why Can't We All Get Along

So I went to Maryland that Friday after thanksgiving and my husband decided not to go after he had originally said he was going. But anyways, that is besides the point because we spoke about that after I came back home on Sunday because I was hurt that he then decided to stay because of his cousin from NC surprised us. I felt as if I was put on the back burner just so he can be with his family. I really wanted him to come with me to the party. Well he didn't and we spoke about how I felt and everything and we got over everything. So my mother decided she want to bring it up again yesterday.and this time tell my husband what she thought about the whole situation. Obviously, my husband got mad and tell her how he felt but wasn't disrespectful and I just wanted both of them to stop talking about the whole situation because I didn't want it to escalate. I just hate being in the middle of the problem. I just wish that they could get along and get over their problem with each other. Maybe one day.......

Our First Thanksgiving At Our Place

Well as you guess got from the title we had Thanksgiving at our place this year. We finally have a big enough place to have people over to enjoy the holiday. We had 16 people in total all together, I was running around like a kitchen without a head all week & working. But in the end it was all worth it, just to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my husband, my mother, & the rest of the family. We even had a surprise come from NC. My husbands cousin came for Thanksgiving and his wife went to Florida to see his family. 


All in all it was a great day with a lot of ups and downs but we loved have Thanksgiving at our place for the first time. 

Marine Corps Ball

Hey loves, so the Marine Corps Ball; for my husbands company was last Saturday (11/19/11). We had an awesome time, the dj was way better then last year & the food was great. The guest speaker was a retired Marine who served our country for 30 yrs and loved it. He was such an inspiration to the guys. The video that they played this year at the ball was so moving and touching,  I know there were many ppl crying because I was since they were talking about the Sept 11th attacks. 

I know I had said we were going to stay at the hotel & they were supposed to do something nice for us but we ended up leaving at the end of the night because we needed the money that we were going to use to pay for the room to fix my cars axle. So no hotel stay for us :( !!

OH I forgot to tell you, while the ceremony was going on one of the Marines that was standing next to the cake was falling asleep, so one of my husband's squad leaders got up and switched places with him. I just hope he went alone because he was going to be embarassed in front of his guest if he wasn't after the ceremony. 

Now, I'll leave you with a picture. 

Almost That Time Again......

for the Maine Corps Ball. Ours is this Saturday the 18th, & I am so excited to go because now this year my hubby has friends in his company & gets along with most of them. Now that means I will get to meet wives, and hopefully make new friends. I'm also excited because we are staying at the hotel and I called the desk for a reservation & asked them if they can do something special for us since we didnt get to do anything for our 1 year wedding anniversary since the hubby was away training. They said yes & that we will be surprised when we go to our room.....I can't wait to see what they have in stored for us.

I will keep everyone updated.

Marine Ball Here I Come

I can't believe that the ball is in 2 wks for us. We are staying at the hotel this time around, & I am so excited. I already have my dress & let me tell you I have only lost 8 lbs this month but I think I look good in my dress. I already have my shoes. All I have to do that day is get my hair and nails done. 

I even told the hotel if they can do something special for us since my husband wasn't home this yr to celebrate our wedding anniversary & they are going to surprise us, which I think is awesome considering it is 5 months after our wedding anniversary. I will take lots of pictures to show all of you what they did & how the ball turned out.

 

Happy Halloween & November 1st Everyone!!

I hope everyone had a safe & fun filled Halloween weekend. I know we did, even though we got hit with the weird snow storm on Saturday. We ended getting last minute costumes to go celebrate my sister-in-laws B-Day at a club here in Elizabeth, NJ. Even though it had snowed we made the best of it. I will leave you with some of the pictures from that day. If you guys want to see the rest just go to my facebook page. My husband was Scooby Doo and I was his sexy Buccaneer....lol.....we didn't match this year as a couple.
