Easy Like A Sunday Morning

As Forrest Gump's mother said,

 "We've been having all sorts of visitors."

 First it was my parents and grandparents who actually made the trip to come see the house for the first time,

 and then this weekend it was some GREAT friends of ours

 that we know from OTS and LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

 I had so much fun

 making dinner,

 going to a cookout with all of our friends,

 making orange lemonade from scratch,

 going to the beach,

 and showing them around town,

 or just watching silly things like Kindergarten Cop at home.

 Oh, and showing her some bloggy tricks :)

 She just started a blog and needs some friends,

 so you should go follow her!

 The Adventures Of A Bee & A Dragonfly

 But anyway,

 I love Sundays.

 We wake up and usually go to church,

 or watch our old church from Auburn on the computer live,

 get lunch,

 take a nap,

 and then decide how much we are actually going to get done lol.

 Usually it's not much.

 But everyone needs one day of the week to do nothing

 and waste away the whole afternoon on a nap.

 Recharge, so to speak.

 I woke up from our nap first today,

 shook him,

 and told him it was time to wake up.

 To which he responded:

 "But I don't get why it didn't turn orange,"

 as he looks me straight in the eye.

 "Honey... WHAT didn't turn orange?"

 "The altitude enunciator... when you get over a certain altitude it's supposed to turn this orange color. It's not. And I don't know why.... Wait, where am I?"

 Wow. You know you've had a long week when you're talking about cabin pressurization when you wake up from a nap. 

 Poor baby.

 So now we are settling in to watch our favorite baseball team,

 the Red Sox,

 hopefully beat the Yankees tonight.

 And unwind from a great weekend.

 What day of the week do you take for yourselves?

 Do you separate out a weeknight to break up the week,

 or take a day in the weekend like we do?

And does anyone else's husband talk about his job in his sleep?

 Or is it just mine? lol

Thoughts From The Hubs

Sometimes the things my husband says give me the best chuckle, and tonight was one of them. He sent me this picture of him with his plane out at IFS:

to which a friend of his commented (referring to Top Gun) "Do you have the need??" (If you've seen the movie, you would know that after that, Goose replies, "The need for speed!!"). Well, my husband replies, "There's not much speed in this one. She's only got 125 HP, and our max airspeed is 164 knots, or about 190 mph. It's hard to buzz the tower at Mach 0.15." LOL. 

and here are the rest of the guys in his flight!! I teased him that they have the sorority pose down perfectly.

On another happy note, here is a picture from our romantic dinner celebrating our 6 month wedding anniversary (which we celebrated early before BE left) at a great little spot here in Pensacola called the Fish House. I can't say enough good things about the food!

I was so happy he wore his yellow shirt! We met online, and when I was flipping through his pictures I wasn't really stopping to look very long until I saw a picture of him in this yellow shirt. That was the moment that I stopped and decided that I thought he was super cute and I just couldn't resist, and I finally responded to the message he had sent me a few days earlier. So in all technicalities, that yellow shirt started all this! Here is the original picture, so you can see how we've changed lol

Such a stud! We are very excited that we are going to be heading out on our cruise here in the next few weeks!! We actually won it on our honeymoon cruise that my parents sent us on since we had such a tiny wedding. We took a 5 dollar bill into the casino to gamble with (high rollers, I know), I turned it into $20, and we walked out. Well, that night we got invited to the past guest reception since I had cruised with Carnival before. (we really only went because there were free drinks lol) but while we were there they ran a deal just for past cruisers on the raffle that they had been running all week to win another free Carnival cruise. Well, usually you only get 10 tickets for $20, but that night you got double tickets, so I went up and just for kicks and giggles put our $20 into the pot and got 20 tickets. The last day of the cruise they had this little boy come up on stage and pull out a ticket, and it was one of ours!!!!!!!!!! I thought BE was going to pass out. So anyway, we decided to take it when he came home from IFS, so now I'm gearing up! We picked our excursions today, and we will be....

riding horses on the beach (which BE picked out all himself and surprised me with, because I have ridden horses my whole life but never gotten the chance to ride on the beach!) and...

swimming with dolphins!!!! I am so excited about this trip! The fact that 5 of our first 6 months of marriage have been spent apart has really put some stress on our relationship, so I'm very excited to have a week of relaxation and fun and JUST US! Hope everyone has had a fabulous Wednesday :)
