CraZy Time

Time has slipped away from me this past month. I have not been able to write, nor read everyone's fabulous posts. While I do miss knowing what is going on in all the blogs that I follow, your wonderful lives and delicious eats, I have been quite the busy & happy girl over here.

So what has happened since I last posted? I turned the ripe old age of 28! My birthday, April 26th was spent getting our engagement photos taken in the morning and then I got to spend a wonderful day with my favorite person, my very soon to be hubby! It was a great day, filled with love and happiness, all I could ask for.

Although,  I believe that my wonderful other half likes the attention of Mr. Police Officer. He has a habit of getting stopped A LOT!! His explanation, "I have bad luck" My interpretation, he has a problem with following the law. It stems back to his corrado days, when he use to be a bad boy. Then he met me and again as he explains, "I have taken away all his fun." Hrm, if fun is getting pulled over by policemen, I'd rather be lame. Except for the fact that most women are turned on by police uniforms. I guess it depends on if the body under the uniform hasn't been consumed by donuts!

Anyways, the man ran through a NO TURN ON RED right in front of a state trooper. Our only saving grace as to not getting a ticket, it was this lady's birthday. The po-po felt nice and told the man he better treat me right and take me out. He did.

Since we had given up sweets for Lent, we had yet to enjoy our favorite dessert, cheesecake. So my birthday dinner was spent at the Cheesecake Factory.

It was a delicious meal, and the cheesecake was well worth the wait!

For dinner I enjoyed the BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad, which is one of my favorites. Sadly, I can't get my picture to upload, but just imagine grilled corn, black beans, fresh avocado, chicken & cucumbers all atop a bed of lettuce drizzled in a barbecue ranch dressing.

The rest of our fun filled days have been spent at work and many, MANY appointments. We also had a blast at our Jack & Jill, which I will recap in another post. Hope everyone is enjoying the mostly warm weather, and I'm excited to show you the awesome pictures of my family & friends, who have started celebrating this wonderful time with us!

Saturdays

Typically on saturdays I am either working or hanging out with these two goof balls.

Never do I get a chance to spend a Saturday with my favorite person.

But this weekend is different. This weekend I get to spend a whole three days with him! Better yet, this man is off from work until April 28th! He has yet again gotten a new job, but this one is exciting.

My fabulous chef will be opening up a new Cheesecake Factory in his beloved hometown. He is so excited, and it is a great feeling to see him so happy.

While I am very happy for him, what I really am excited about is the cheesecake! I have nine days left in the NO SWEETS ZONE, and then it's all sorts of over!

Although, I do feel better without them, I am not craving them, so technically I don't need them. Obviously I don't need anything but good, wholesome food. You only live once, so a piece of cheesecake once in a while isn't going to kill me. Everyday? That could be a problem.

So I'm going to get on my weekend shenanigans, and am looking forward to finally being able to post some good eats!
