Oh, you've never seen any?

Well, here you go! :)

Finishing Projects..

Ladies and gentlemen, I officially finished my very first scrapbook today. I didn't say it was the first one I started, just the first one I ever finished. :) I am so excited. And, it was Jason's birthday present. He loved it. Okay, okay, his birthday isn't until Tuesday, but today he needed some cheer, so he got it early (and we all know I am a little impatient, anyway..)

That is one reason I haven't posted in a bit.

The other reasons are:

I am learning Spanish.
I am finishing school.
I am finishing my website. :)

Stay tuned and look out, world! Here I come!

:)

This place is one of the reasons I CAN'T WAIT for our upcoming trip to NYC!

Jiffy's, How I Have Missed You!

Jason and I spent this Saturday relaxing. I ordered an external flash for my camera yesterday, along with 2 umbrella/light stands for studio portraiture. I needed both things to finish my photography school assignments. :)

This morning, was spent at our church, listening to a great sermon. It was one that really put things into perspective. If you are interested, our church does podcasts. Here is the series we have been doing for the last couple of weeks. Today's was 'I Left the Door Unlocked.'

After church, we had lunch at Jiffy's, with our friends, The W family. :) Along with church, it was the highlight of my week. And, it was fantastic to be able to enjoy Jiffy's, the last time we ate there was around summertime, I think. Their gyro salad is amazing!

The rest of today I am planning to put more photos on my photography website, so sometime soon, I can share my site with everyone.

Looking forward to some homemade gumbo for dinner!! :)

I LOVE dancing around my kitchen, making dinner and listening to music from the 40's. Fabulous.

MLK Day Spent in DC.

Fan decor inside Chinatown Metro Station.

Jason and I went into DC today.

It was the first time in we couldn't remember when since we have taken the Metro into DC and spent the day in the city together.

Our only planned stop was H&M.

I bought a few things, but the cutest thing I got was a little black bow clip.

We didn't really know what else we wanted to do, so we decided after H&M, we were going to grab some lunch at Potbelly's. It was our first time eating there, and we really liked it! Jason had their 'Wreck' sandwich with all the veggies and their olive spread, which was delicious. It had a kick. I had an IBC Cream Soda, a cup of chili and a big dill pickle.

After our yummy lunch, we started walking in the general direction toward Union Station. Before we got that far, Jason asked me if I wanted to go see 'Lovely Bones' at the Regal Movie Theater next door to the Verizon Center in Chinatown. I said yes, and Jason poked fun at me, because he said I said yes before he could even finish his sentence! :) We had over an hour until the movie, after purchasing our tickets, so we looked around Bed, Bath & Beyond, which is the largest one I have ever been to.

We enjoyed seeing the movie together and then took the Metro back to our station stop, got in our car and drove home. :)

Together Again!

Jason's back! :) He got back from a 2 week training course, and I am just so happy to have him home!

He came bearing sweet gifts from his day trip to NYC, last weekend.

He got me a new necklace. It is from Tiffany & Co.'s key collection. The idea behind their key collection is to symbolize something that has been locked away as much as it does access to opening up new opportunities. I think it is a perfect gift to start of the new year, because Jason and I have a lot of exciting things coming our way this year. :)

The second gift he brought me was a Junior's egg cream glass (and a matching one for him)! I had my first egg cream in NYC last year at Junior's in Brooklyn, and now I have a glass that tells me exactly how to make an egg cream! (By the way, an egg cream isn't actually made with any eggs.)

I have such a sweet husband and am so blessed!
