11 YEARS! :)

I am so behind on blogging. I haven't even written about my 11 year anniversary, which was on May 25th. Lamar brought me flowers a few days earlier, which was so sweet, because he said it was a very special week. My birthday is 2 days after our annivesary.

Lamar came home from work with flowers and after that we headed to Kobe. We love Japanese steakhouses!! The fried rice, the salad, the soup, the veggies, and the steak...YUM!!! Oh, and we had the whole table all to ourselves!! It was GREAT!!!

After that, we headed to Maggie Moo's for dessert.  He always gets a malt and I either get red velvet or chocolate better batter with marshmallow cream and caramel mixed in.  DELICIOUS! The really neat thing is that there was a rainbow after we ate...it was a full double rainbow!! Just gorgeous!!! It seems like God is always giving us a gift on our anniversary....last year a gorgeous sunset on one side of the ocean and a beautiful thunderstorm on the other (at Sunset Key)....this year a beautiful double rainbow followed by a glorious sunset that we drove around admiring.  Oh, Lamar pulled out more flowers for me after Maggie Moo's...this time colorful roses. 

When we got home, Lamar gave me even more flowers. :) They were so pretty when I put them all in a vase together. 

I gave Lamar football books and a home plan book.  The funny thing is I gave him the exact home plan book he bought a couple of weeks ago and we looked at it together.  I didn't even notice! I looked through TONS of home books and bought the same one he already had.  He didn't even tell me until a week later when I suggested we go through it.  He said he didn't want to hurt my feelings.  It wouldn't have hurt my feelings at all. I thought it was so funny!!! The card I got him was about farting. I just love him how he likes to be loved which is joking about farts and getting him football books. :) Hard to believe that we've been married 11 years.  I remember thinking there was no way we'd make it through 6 months and now it's been 11 years.  That first year was REALLY hard.  The 7th year was really hard, too.  Those seem to be the hard years for a lot of people for some reason. To be honest, February-May of this year was really hard, too.  That's just marriage, though.  It's hard work and sometimes it's even harder work. Anyway, I am thankful that we've made it 11 years! Lamar has  the sweetest softest heart and I am thankful that I am married to him.  He always goes above and beyond for me.  He's been extra nice lately.  Yesterday, I called him, "Mr. Perfect Husband" because he was every girls dream....did the dishes (didn't ask), cleaned the toilet (the job I hate the most), kept kissing my head (I love that), massaged my shoulder all throughout the day (which has a knot and crick in in), and of course, washed my feet, like he does every night in the tub.  I've pretty much got it made! :)

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Show us where you live Friday.....the Kitchen

Most of you probably read Kelly's blog . She is so much fun! Well, she is hosting a "Show us where you Live Friday" and this week is the kitchen edition. I am excited about this because I absolutely LOVE looking at houses and decor....it's so much fun and can really show someones personality. I just love to see how others express themselves through decorating. While I really do love my kitchen, it is the room I am looking forward to redoing the very most. My future plans are to take down the wallpaper and paint, paint the ceiling, redo the cabinets (probably really dark wood), paint the island black, take down the florescent light fixture above the island and replace with something a little more up to date, and replace the curtains. I think the previous owners did a great job decorating it but I would rather it be more my personality. I spend A LOT of time in my kitchen and I really enjoy it!! When my mom and dad moved, they gave me their big round table that seats...
Mar and I didn't go to church this morning. :( We hate to miss. We woke up about 8:30, talked a little bit, prayed a little bit and then the next thing we know, it's 10:30!!! We must have really needed the sleep. We leave for church at 10:40 so there was no way we were going to make it. It felt wonderful to sleep in, though. We can alway watch the service on the Internet. After Rosie got home from church, we went and picked her up and took her to Wendy's to eat (we all really wanted Franke's but it was packed...at 1:45!) and then we headed to Party City where I got plates for Bunco (it's at my house on Thursday) and then we went to Garden Ridge and got a fake plant and a chair (for $99). The chair we were going to get was WAY more than that and a lot prettier but the one at Garden Ridge did the job fine and with no guilt for spending too much money on a beautiful chair. It is SO MUCH FUN to shop with Rosie...SO MUCH FUN!!! I hate to shop without her because she make...
