Gingerbread

Last year Louie bought me a gingerbread house kit as a gift. Last night after a night of Christmas shopping and eating fish tacos we decided it was time to bust it out! For everyone out there curious about gingerbread houses...they are really hard to build, and letting one sit in a box for a year makes the candy hard as a rock!! Oh and also we put these circle candies on the sides but they slid down to look like tires. We actually ended up with a gingerbread mobile home. Awesome!


Sweet rims...

He makes me laugh...

The Rain In Spain Stays Only on the Plain

A LIE by the way!! All of the intense rain we had today brought back some really awesome memories of my travels abroad. For those who don't know I studied in London for a semester in college and during one very cold weekend in January my flatmates and I took a trip to Barcelona, Spain. That weekend all it did was rain, and manage to keep my feet very wet. Looking back now, I can laugh about the trip, however, when we arrived, we were seriously contemplating whether or not we would get out of this country alive. Let's just say it rained...a lot, I saw a flutist perform on some kind of electric flute (pictured below) all this happening in the middle of a 'night club', spent a great amount of time inside a huge indoor market (avoiding the weather outside), and got caught in a wind storm with my new umbrella on a deserted beach (also pictured below), oh and Melissa tried to turn herself in for smuggling bananas into the country (sadly, not pictured below)!!!

People thought I was really weird for taking pictures of all the food, but it's so awesome looking!

I can feel Jess' sinus infection coming on....

I've Still Got It...

To keep you updated on a previous post, I am still able to remember the Army alphabet. I just tested myself, and I got 100%! Mini wave in celebration of me! And yes Monica, that was a Friends quote.

Foggy Day Schedule

I miss foggy day schedule. Even though I maybe got to live the benefits of it 5 or 6 times when I was in school, those days sure were amazing. It was almost as amazing as when we got out of school for a week and a half because of mold. Who knew bacteria could have made me oh so happy! Anyway, the point of this whole thing is that this past week there has been some pretty crazy fog, making it near impossible for me to get out of bed or arrive at work on time. I wish there was foggy day schedule in the professional world, wouldn't that be amazing to see your company's name scroll across the bottom of the morning news. Think about it..."MWD on 2 hour delay, Fresno Fire on 2 hour delay, Barrows 3.5 hour delay, the Tut. Club on 2 hour delay, Army on 1 year delay..." Oh how sweet it would be!
