It's been awhile.....
So it has been awhile since my last post. Sorry guys, life has either been speeding by, super busy, or there is nothing going on to talk about. Let me see.... since the last time I posted, we have had a few birthdays, new friends, a couple of date nights, girls nights out, family and friend time and sickness for 3 members of our family. The big news as of late is Mark has a new job! He will be getting more money doing the same job. It is commission job but even on his slowest month at his old one he would make more at his new job. So we are very excited for this opportunity. With this new job we are hoping to be able now to pay off some of our things that we haven't been able to because Mark was making way less than what he used to so we had no money to pay towards some of our bills. I am shooting for after Christmas that we could be finally back on our feet and in our own place again. We are definitely getting itchy feet on getting out of my parents house, not that it is bad living here, we just miss having our own space and doing our own thing.
In other big news, Mark and I just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary on Friday! His last day at his old job was Thursday and told his new job that he could start on Monday. So we had most of Friday together (minus a minor stop of his to his new work to finish his paperwork and meet the manager who just got back that week from 3 months off from a stroke). So we ran some errands (grocery shopping), spent some time with the boys, then got ready for our date. My best friend A offered as her "gift" to us to watch the boys. Many thanks to her, she took them to McDonald's, the pet store , then to the movies! They had a blast. Mark and I went to our favorite restaurant Gourmet Italia (as authentic Italian food you can get this side of Italy, the owner and chefs are from Italy!!) in Temecula. We had a delicious dinner! We started out with a Caprese salad (originally, I wanted Burrata (Mozzarella bundle filled with ricotta and strips of more mozzarella, drizzled with salt, pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar) but they were out), then moved onto our entrees. Mark had the Manicotti, and I had the Pasta Italiana which is a choice of spaghetti or penne pasta with either a tomato basil cream sauce or a garlic Parmesan cream sauce. I chose the penne with the garlic Parmesan cream sauce. So good!!!! Then for desserts we shared a Chocolate Truffle Mousse. To die for!!!!! We originally asked for Chocolate-dipped Profiteroles filled with Chantilly cream but they were out (of course!). But overall a delicious, romantic, filling meal with my hubby! We then went to my husband's favorite store Best Buy to browse while we waited for A and the boys to be done with their movie. It was nice to get away from the boys for a few hours and have am adult conversation and alone time.
Next up for us is my good friends M and P's baby girl's baptism on Sun, followed by a mini get-together at our best couple's house that afternoon. Then mine and Mark's birthday's are coming up. His on October 21, where he is turning 31, then mine the next day on October 22, where I am turning 27 (eek!!, but I am starting to be ok with it because I still feel like I am in my early 20s not late 20s). We have no idea if or what we are doing for our birthdays. Maybe get some friends together and do a mini party at a restaurant on the 23rd, plus also find some time to go see Mark's dad who wants to celebrate our anniversary and birthdays with a dinner or lunch or something with him.
Then we have Halloween where the boys are going to be Optimus Prime (Hunter) and Bumblebee (Jaxon). A wants to go with us trick-or-treating but we don't know where yet cause we either go with our friends B and E and their kids or go visit Mark's sister in OC and go trick or treating there. Plus we have Trunk-or-Treat at church coming up soon which will be fun!
Hope everyone is doing well. I am off to "inspect" the boys' room to see if they picked up their toys like I asked (I even gave them an extra 15min), if they haven't I told them I would take some toys away. Then it's nap for them and food time for me. Then school and lunch. Hopefully I will make it to the gym tonight to start getting back into it cause I haven't been in 2mon and Mark is telling me he will cancel it soon if I don't go eep! So hopefully I can get in there tonight and the next 2 nights and maybe do the elliptical for 30min. Wish me luck!!!
