Whoa...
So I actually have interesting things to blog about for once
:)
We will start with the weekend.
Probably the best one in a long time.
We started off the weekend with a bang.
A BIG BANG...
And by that I mean we went and saw the Hunger Games.
Sarah, her husband Blake, Ethan and Myself.
We started with coffee at Crooked Tree and dinner at MacKenzie River.
Detour for a second...
One of my best friends is coming out in a month
and we are both obsessed with cookie sundae skillets.
I can't wait to take her there because they have the BEST cookie skillet.
Okay, back to the weekend.
The Hunger Games met my expectations.
I was not disappointed with any part of the movie.
ALMOST everything was true to book which seems to be hard to find these days.
My ONE complaint was some of the shaking filming sections.
For example, the reaping.
I don't think it focused on a single face...just a bit of a mess.
Other than that I'm absolutely in LOVE!
Saturday Ethan and I went to Crooked Tree ... again.
This coffee house is seriously the cutest thing on the planet.
Everyone knows my obsession with cupcakes and the way they add art to the tastiest coffee concoctions just satisfies every fiber of my being.
These were the best cupcakes I've ever had! Coconut Macaroon :)
A cute post-wedding photo shoot a couple had done there.
After that we went to Boston's with a TON of people.
(only knowing a small handful)
to watch the Air Force Academy hockey game.
Sarah's husband played on the team during his time there.
It was definitely a good time.
We then decided to be an old, married couple and went home.
We watched t.v. and did a puzzle together.
Aww we're so cute :-P
Sunday was a rest and relax day.
Monday Ethan had his first alert.
This was a training alert so he got to see what his job will be like.
This meant that he was gone overnight.
It was definitely weird for me.
After 6 months of spending every night together...
I don't think I realized how different it would feel.
I ate dinner by myself, worked out alone, and slept alone.
Luckily for us it's only 1 night at a time.
I believe some of the SF people are gone for 5 days at a time.
Props to those women.
I couldn't imagine doing that year round.
Especially once you throw kids and newborns in the mix.
Yikes.
But, then again, that's kind of what us military wives signed up for!
I'm lucky in the sense that I'm pretty independent.
And I feel secure within my relationship.
So starting next month, these will happen about twice a week.
Ethan also seemed very excited when he returned.
He is very lucky to have been placed in a job that he will really enjoy.
And I, thankfully, have Sarah.
Our husbands' schedule seem to be pretty similar so we'll have each other for our boring husband-less nights!
I'm very lucky to have found a friend I relate to and get along with.
YAY!
One week from today we return to Colorado!
We are celebrating the promotion of my legit Father-in-Law to Major General.
What an accomplishment?!
I am praying for incline worthy weather.
If you don't know what the incline is...
It's a 1 mile hike up a large staircase, which is an old railway.
Followed by a 2.6 mile trail run back down.
It's my FAVORITE work out/hike to date.
The view from the top is incredible and the feeling of accomplishment surpasses any other.
I can't wait to get back.
I just love everything about Colorado.
Not to mention I'll get to see both of my very best friends from high school :)
I'll get to see both sides of my family,
and
one of my best friends since birth for our annual easter gathering!
Oh, and I can't forget that I'll actually get to go shopping somewhere legit.
Great Falls is very depressing when it comes to shopping :(
(Good for the bank account though!)
We have so much to fit in!
Well I better get to the gym...I've been so good lately!
