The Girls Black Belt Test

We all were so proud of them! It was not an easy test by no means! They tested for over two hours straight! "You go girls!"

Pickles 17th B-day

Chicken n Shrimp Kabobs

So I am going to start blogging more about the food I make and the restaurants we go to. Drew and I figured since were such foodies and we go out more than we should I should give reviews. We both believe that we have a good plate and since we both have been in the business we know good service when we see it or eat. Drew also told me I'm getting better and better in my cooking not that I was ever a bad cook he said. I like to make recipes up as I go and that's what works best for me.

Old Frederick Main Street

Drew and I decided to drive out to Frederick and look at some townhouses. We tried to get those home magazines that have directions to each development but all four stores and two gas stations didn't have any. Go figure when you don't need one there are a million of them. So we decided to wing it. We also decided to take the scenic route instead of Rt. 70. Well that was a mistake! It was a pretty drive but the few signs we saw for any homes were far and scares. The one we followed ended up being for the 55 an older... Drew was so upset. We finally made it back to Rt. 70 and ended up in Old Frederick which was really nice. We were starving since we had not ate all day and it was 4 o'clock. We were able to go into one store (a jewelry store) and we had my ring finer sized and it is 4.75.

They recommend a restaurant that was 2 1/2 blocks down been since we were starving we ate at the place next door called "Grift's" and it was horrible!!! The place was empty but yet it took forever to get our food. Drew even said our waitress was sitting at a table talking with other waitresses. When she finally brought us our food my garlic mashed potatoes (tasted like powder not fresh)were cold and I still had to wait for my over cooked corn on the cob! The crab cakes were small but good but, the price of $28.00 killed us. We were expecting to pay maybe $40.00 - $50.00 but ended up paying $81.00 (tip included) for horrible food and service. I defiantly do not recommend this place. Since it took so long to eat we were only able to go into two more stores and than came the storm.

Overall we had a good time just lunch sucked. On are way home we stopped in Barnes n Nobles and read books and magazines for a few hours and that was the best part of our day. I bought my new "Who Who" journal and filled it up with wedding tips and ideas. I have to talk to Mom and Dad about helping us with the wedding soon if were going to pull off an fall wedding.

Look for my New Flyers!!!

My New Color!

I was RED for two years so it was time for a change. I know Drew has been wanting me to go back blond foe awhile. We both like the red but we like the auburn red and my hair was getting really RED! This is a little too Strawberry Blond for my liking but it will be become more blond. Becca and I like to do my hair in the healthy steps.

Yummy

Tonight I made Drew and I amazing sandwiches! They are now a favorite and will become a classic with us. A new twist on a grilled cheese.

What a scare!!!

Today Drew and I went to the ER at 9 am and didn't get out till 4 pm. We think he passed a kidney stone but will never know since he flushed the toilet. A few follow up appts with the Dr and he will be as good as new!

Apartment Fire!

As I came home from work I was surprised to see the entrance of my apartment complex to be blocked off by Police. I had heard a ton of sirens when I was at work but never believed they were heading to my place. The building that had caught on fire is two buildings behind mine. I spoke with the lady that made the 911 call, she said her and her friends ran and banged on all the doors to help get people out! She even carried someone's baby to safety. I captured the aftermath with my camera. My heart goes out to those effected.
