Fun Date Days!

About a week and a half ago, James in I decided to enjoy the nice weather that we have had in Central Texas and decided to spend some time outdoors. One of the few things that you can do around this area outdoors is Putt Putt golf and so that is what we decided to do. We had a blast! I can't tell you who actually won though b/c at the first whole it took us each about five shot, so we decided not to keep score. I can say though that we both got a whole and one!!!




That evening, since I cooked last James thought he would be sweet and cook me dinner. Neither one of us, had ever attempted to made Chicken Cordon Blue, so this is what he decided to make. With it we had corn and twice backed potatoes. If your looking for a quick meal to make, hear is a meal for you. I have to say it was delicious!!!

Eat Me!!!

Last night was the concert, that James and have been looking forward to for awhile now. The bands that played were power man five thousand, 10 Years, Flyleaf, and Three days Grace. All I can say is it was AWESOME! The two bands that I enjoyed the most were Flyleaf and Three days Grace, I think James will tell you them same thing. Before Three days Grace started playing they put something on the floor and I kept wondering what it was for. James told me they were probably going to do some piro. I told him, no their not that kind of band, but sure enough he was right. The songs they did it with went perfect with the fire. I do have to say though I was kind of disappointed b/c I did not get to buy a shirt. Most of the shirts were thirty dollars and the shirt I wanted was forty, and I was not going to pay that much! Sorry there are not more pictures. It was dark and my flash is not that great, so I was only able to get pictures of there days grace b/c they had the stage well lit. =(.

Waiting for Three days Grace to come on stage.

The stage changed colors depending on what album the song came from.

Some of the fire action.

My Play Day!!!

UMHB play day was this past Thursday, which is suppose to be a day a rest and fun for students. Now although I can't say mine was that restful, it was fun in my opinion. I am not the type of person who enjoys being in large groups, so I decided to stay home and cook up some fun and yummy goodies. I spent the majority of my day baking and cooking for James. I know this sounds weird, but I love to cook, and I love it even more when I know the person I am cooking for, will absolutely love what I am making. There is also a second reason as to why i spent the day cooking, which is, James and I have ate out for the past two months straight and I am sick of it...lol. Anywho the first item that I made was actually dessert....and if you are a strawberry lover you have to have this, the dessert was Super Strawberry Pie!!! I had to make it early on in the day, so that it would be cold in time to have it that night. When I went to the store I actually did not know how many pounds of strawberries I would need, cause silly me, forgot to do the conversion of pounds to cups to pints before I left for the store so, so I actually was able to make two pies. One went to James and the other went to James' Parents house for his dad and sister. I do have to say, the pies turned out delicious. I only was able to eat a small piece on Thursday and I am regretting that fact now. All I want is another piece of that pie. I asked James to bring a piece to me at work today, but his response was come get it yourself, which is imposable till Monday.

Yummy Goodness!!!

Well back to what else I cooked. That night after James got off,and after I had time to do some homework,I cooked Lemon Chicken. This dish is one of James Dad's recipes and probably one of my favorites to cook and eat. If you love Chinese and Chicken, this would be a dish you would love. With the Chicken I paired corn and White Rice, both two of James favorite side items. As with the Pies it was delicious and hit the spot, after eating out so often. Sorry there are no pictures of this dish, I forgot to take pictures.

So as you can see, I did not play on play day, but still enjoyed the day. Yes you might have read I did some homework, which is against play day rules, but I had nothing else to do and just sitting around was driving me crazy. Some up date from my last blog. I got a 95 on my finance test I told you about, and attempted to talk to James about the M word. All I can say, is it went like I thought it would, and got the response I figured I would, which was, Sorry I don't think about that. If it was any other girl that got that response, they probably would be crazy mad, but I have learned James sometimes says things that are not true to hide what he is really feeling. I guess I am just going to have to continue to look for those hints, and listen for his slip of the tongue, like i have always done.

It has been awhile...

Sorry it has been awhile since I have written. Like I said in my first blog, my life is not that interesting, but I will try to highlight some of the things I have been up to lately. Recently, I want to say about three weeks ago, I received a letter in the mail saying that I made the Deans list for the third or maybe even the forth time in my collage career. Now although I was happy, I guess I really was not that exited, like my mom was. After making it so many times I just expect myself to make it again through how hard I push myself, and If I don't I see my self as failing. Well when I told James, I found what he said funny. He said oh. Now you might be asking why is this funny, well b/c about a week after I received my letter, he received one saying he made the dean's list the last semester of his college career, and made a hug deal about it. Don't get me wrong I am so proud of him, this is a major achievement for him, it is just funny how different the responses were.

In other news I am still looking for a job =(. I just applied at one place over the weekend and mailed my resume off to a new credit company, that is about to open in temple. I was hoping that with using career services through UMHB I would have something by now, but they said they are just now starting to get leads. I guess I am to the point where I might have to do an unpaid internship since I graduate NEXT MAY!!!! God only know though, how I would fit that into my schedule. I am hoping however,as bad as it sounds, that James finds a job before I do. I think I have just about given up on reminding him and overly bugging him, it has gotten me no were. I thought he was going to apply at some places when we made his resume, but I guess I was wrong. I think he is hoping a job will just fall in his lap, or someone else will find one for him, but he needs to wake up and realize that is not going to happen.

Some up coming events in which i am looking froward to, and well some in which i am not, are a concert April 28th and summer school. I bet you can pick which one I am looking forward to and which on I am not. This summer I will be taking 13 hours, 6 in May, 4 in June, and 3 in July. A lot of people are calling me crazy for doing this, but I am sick of school and just want to be done. For this semester the only big thing in which I have left to do, is a test on Wednesday and my finial exams. I do have to ask though that you guys keep your fingers cross and hope I did well on my financial risk management test I took last week, I really need an A.

Ok and th last thing in which I am going to write about, in which I guess you could say I have been up to, but in my mind, is when is James going to ask me to marry him. Don't get me wrong I am quite content where we are now, but it would be nice I guess to know how he felt about this topic. I know however, that I could never truly have a serious conversation with him over this topic. I would not be so annoyed about this topic, if everyone would stop asking me the question of are you guys engaged yet or when is he going to ask you. I have teachers from high school, friend, his friends, and professors from college always asking and some ask with him standing right next to me! When this happens I feel that I have to protect him and quickly change the topic. I guess over all it is just frustrating not knowing how he feels, and seeing people I know getting married to people they met after James and I started dating. About a year ago we got on the topic, and he said he could not see himself married for a long time and I just still want to know if that is true. At the same time however if he is planning on asking me anytime soon, I don't want to ruin the surprise, or discourage him.
