Flashback Monday!

I've seen some of you do Flashback Fridays but today is going to be Flashback Monday just so I can post about last week. Not a very big flashback, I know, but hey!

So we all read of my excitement over Friday when I went to Olive Garden with a group of Army Wives, BUT the very next day I did it again! This meeting I am really fond of because she is a fellow blogger/Army wife! That's right folks, I finally had the chance of meeting Jessica from Southern Yankee on Saturday night. This was a lot of fun and unexpected...Jessica was down visiting her husband this weekend and I knew it, but didn't think she'd have time to meet up. I mean its only a weekend and when you haven't seen your hunny in three weeks like her, "sorry Mrs. G.I. Joe, but you can wait!" Lol, been there, done that:p But turns out, her husband, Trey, had to be back on post by 6:00 p.m. so we had time for a meet up! It was so neat meeting one of the many people I read about on a daily basis. She and I both laughed about how we feel like we know ya'll already, because of blogger, but have never actually met...It definitely makes a face to face much more comfortable with tons of conversation possibilities:p This girl is so sweet and genuine. I absolutely loved chatting it up with her and in fact, hardly touched my dinner because I was yakking soooo much:p Hope we can do it again sometime! And girl, we are both bloggers...SHAME on us for not getting a picture of this! Lol...

Last night I totally meant to walk through the door, from work, and throw on my running shoes but I was greeted with a delicious aroma; Italian chicken that had been cooking in the crockpot for hours....Yummm! So I blame my fallout on the hubs:p He had this meal tender and ready when I arrived. It was too hard to fight! Oh, and then he sealed the deal with Heath Klondike Bars for dessert...Don't judge me:) However, take comfort in the fact that, as soon as I publish this, my happy self is going for that run! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday! Its gorgeous out today, so I'm glad we don't have windows at work; the sun won't be able to mock me from the other side:)

    I don't know if I've mentioned before, but I love the picture of you and your husband in your wedding gown, where he's looking at you and you're looking at the camera! That's a precious photograph!

  12. Awwww you are too sweet! That was one of the first things I thought about after driving away. I CANNOT believe we did not get a picture of that! My camera was right there in my purse for that simple reason! Next time :) (which will be the 4th of July btw.. just thought I'd through that out there. Annddd Trey will be much more of a free man. I'm just sayin..)
    And that text saying he was getting released at 8. He literally meant 8 in the morning. Damn that military time. Which actually turned into 10 because they ever so generously gave him 2 hours of CQ duty.. ahh well. *I just realized I've typed half of my post I'm planning on doing right here in your comment box*
    Heath bar Klondikes are my fav. Heath bar anything actually. Don't feel bad.. what's the fun of running if you can't enjoy a little Klondike bar??
