Mike's Birthday

Well on February 18th, Mike and I celebrated his 28th birthday! He was in class earlier in the day and I was out making the final preparations for his birthday. I went to pick up his cookie cake from Great American Cookie Company and then came home to wrap his gifts. While I was at home, his big time surprise gift arrived and I rushed to wrap it in my christmas wrapping paper since I didn't have any birthday wrapping paper. I then went to hide it. Mike's dad then came over to drop off Mike's Mamma's infamous Charlotte Russe cake for Mike's birthday so we had two terrific desserts. Later, Mike came home from class and wasn't in the best mood b/c traffic was pretty bad coming home, but it turned out to be great :) We loaded up the car with our cracked lazy susan and two wobbley chairs from our new dining room table and headed to Lewisville to get our new ones. As soon as we arrived, the new lazy susan and two chairs were ready to go and they loaded it up in Mike's truck quickly and safely. We then headed to The Porch, which is one of Mike's favorite restaurants and had a delicious meal. When we got home, there was plenty to eat for dessert so we chowed down. Of course, Mike got the first piece and made his wish when he cut into both cakes :) Over the weekend, my parents and brother and his girlfriend, Kaci, all came up to celebrate. They all got in Friday evening and we had a great dinner on the brand new dining room table, which was awesome! I then got ready for work and everyone else stayed at home watching movies and visiting. On Saturday morning, we all woke up for a great day. My mom, Kaci, and I headed to Dallas to get our haircut by fabulous Kelli because she always does an amazing job! My mom got her Mrs. Kardashian cut and I went with the Rihanna look and chopped mine short again, thank goodnes! We both left loving our haircuts and Kaci was impressed by what a great job Kelli did/does. We then headed for Kohl's. While we were out enjoying ourselves, the men were at Costco getting the essentials. When we all got home, we then got ready to go to dinner at The Melting Pot. Wow it was awesome!! We all had such a great time and it was sooo much fun!!! We laughed, ate, and just had an all around fantabulous time together! When we got home, Kyle and Mike played Wii Resort while the rest of us just hung out. On Sunday, we shopped at Target, grabbed lunch, and then they all headed home and I went to work. It was an absolutely great weekend :) Oh and Mike got work out clothes and his big surprise was a Marine Corps NCO Sword :) He loved it!

Snow Day 2010 Dos

Yay for Snow Day Number 2!! It definitely wasn't as intense or fun as the first Snow Day, but it was a good time. The puppies still had a blast playing in it and Mike and I had a great day together. He got out of class at around 2:30p and then came home and we were able to eat lunch together and On the Border and then run some errands. We had such a great day together!! It was seriously awesome. I actually drove in the snow today, which is the first time I've ever driven in snow! So while I was driving around our lovely little town, I took some pictures of the minor snow day. Here is the link so enjoy: http://s576.photobucket.com/albums/ss204/emsmith10/Snow%20Day%202010%20Dos/

Haven't Posted in a While

Well the picture down below is of Mike and I's new sofa and loveseat that we got from Rooms to Go!! Soo exciting!! They're nice and deep and super comfy and much bigger than our other couch and loveseat!! They're a great addition to the living room!! The living room is officially done now!! So now we're working on the dining room table and our bedroom set. That will all come in time. We have found a 72" round dining room table with 8 chairs and a lazy susan that we really like, but we haven't found time to head out to the store in Lewisville just yet. Hopefully sometime this week we'll head that way. The picture to the right is of Mike and I at Fox and the Hound celebrating one of my academy mate's birthdays! We went on a double date with a good friend of mine earlier that night at Pappasito's (soo good), met up with my academy classmates at a frozen yogurt shop for dessert, and then we all headed to the bar for a round of birthday drinks. It was such a fun night!! It had been forever since Mike and I had gone out out with a bunch of friends so it was awesome! Other than that, things are going well. Bronx and Olivine are loving the cold weather and I'm hating it at work. Too many accidents because of the icy roads and well it's just too cold to stand out in on calls haha. Mike's in his last semester of undergrad! He's been taking GMAT Prep courses every Monday and Tuesday night and taking day classes this semester, which is different for both of us. He's also working on getting ready for OCS for the Marines, so all together he's been working pretty hard on things. Oh and lastly, we can't wait to go get our taxes done for the $8,000 tax credit!!
