"The Concrete Is Comfy, Too!"

My weekend technically started Thursday night. That morning I went grocery shopping to make dinner for Kendra and I. We decided to eat at my sister's apartment. I made turkey burgers, baked beans, fruit, and a delicious buffalo chicken dip. We were looking at recipe books and got a craving for s'mores, so we went and bought stuff to make them. Yum! I had been wanting to make a cheesecake for awhile and I had the stuff to make it. I was up super late but not quite tired so at about 3 in the morning I got the bright idea to make my cheesecake. It was reese's flavored and I added pieces of the candy and drizzled chocolate syrup ontop. Mmm Mmm!

I took Friday off and did a whole lot of nothing. Mine and Alex's plans got cancelled due to miscommunication which sucked but turned out okay 'cause we were both very tired. I went to bed at 7:30!!

Saturday morning I woke up early to make more buffalo chicken dip for Alex's party and get ready. We went to the AMC at Arrowhead to see Inception with Anthony and his sister Andrea. AWESOME MOVIE!! Afterwards we looked in Puma real quick, went to get Alex's car washed, went to Total Wine then got lunch. He got Chipotle and I got Chik-Fil-A, our favorites. We watched some tv while we ate and I took a power nap before the party. The party was so much fun. Alex and I were the first to get drunk and pass out and from what I was told it was pretty early lol! We spent probably a good hour in the bathroom together passed out/puking (on his end lol). On Sunday we still felt sick so we slept in a bit and got pizza and watched The Fifth Element.

Century Circle

This past week was full of fun events. Thursday night Alex and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings before going to the midnight showing of Predators. We were even the first in line! The movie was great but I was sooo exhausted the next day. Saturday I went shopping for some plants and soil but got some fruit also, all for under $7!! I put the plants in the front yard, watered the lawn and cleaned the kitchen before trying to take a nap, which didn't work out, lol. When I woke up I got ready to go to The Spaghetti Factory with Alex for our 1-year dinner. It was yummy! I had chicken penne and he had spaghetti with clam sauce. We got free sherbet for dessert. After dinner we went to Steve's house for Century Circle. Basically, what it is is you get a group of people and you need shot glasses and somebody to keep track of the time. Every minute, each person has to take a shot of beer. The goal is to make it to 100 minutes. It's definitely not as simple as it sounds, lol. The next morning we all went to IHOP. Afterwards I came home and did a whole lot of nothin!

*4th of July Weekend*

Saturday was the start of my much-needed 3-day weekend. Alex had a party at his house that night and it was soooo much fun. We watched the UFC fight, ate yummy food, played beer pong, UNO, took shots, smoked hookah, etc. Everybody had a great time.













July 4th was finally here. I was anticipating it so much because not only is it my favorite holiday, it was mine and Alex's 1 year anniversary!!! On Friday after work I came home to find a beautiful bouquet of flowers. He is so sweet!!! On Sunday we slept in then headed over to Kris's grandparents' house for a bbq. They had amazing food: ribs, burgers, pasta/potato salad, corn on the cob, watermelon, chips, etc. For dessert there was kahlua cake and brownies and ice cream. Yum! There was also the option to swim but Alex and I were exhausted from the day/night before. We then went back to his place and watched Predator since I hadn't seen it and the new one comes out this week. After the movie we went over to Steve and Dessie's for more bbqing and fireworks. We were gonna play poker but everybody was too tired, lol.

Monday was so fun! We had planned to have our anniversary dinner that night but planned it for next weekend so we didn't have to worry about cutting it short in order to get enough sleep for work the next day. We slept in then woke up, got Pei Wei for lunch which was delicious. While we ate we watched Law Abiding Citizen. I had been wanting him to see it for awhile so he finally got to see it. After that movie, we watched Paul Blart to kill time before going to see Toy Story 3 with Anthony and Annalise. Before leaving we opened our anniversary gifts. I made him a shadow box with pictures of us from our first year together, 2 candles and some snack foods and a cute card. He got me a BEAUTIFUL necklace that was his grandmother's (which almost brought me to tears) and a frame set to put new pictures of us in. I LOVED my gifts. I feel so lucky to have found someone that I love with all my heart and who loves me in return unconditionally. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for us but for now we are just living in the moment and enjoying being happy with each other.
