Go One Street Down!!!!

It seems like it's been a while since I posted about the cafe
and seeing as how it has been my life for the past 9 months,
I thought I'd write a few words. It has been RIDICULOUSLY
busy!! God has truly blessed us with this place and we're
so thankful!
Today, we had a record breaking day and it seems like
that just keeps happening! I have never felt so tired at the
end of a shift. 10 hours of pure craziness today!

At the beginning, we were just a little place that no one
had heard of and now I have people running into me and
recommending my own place as an amazing place that I have to try!!

Hope to see you all in some day!

My baby made it safely

Just to keep everyone in the loop, Jim made it safely to Kuwait, where he will
be for the next couple weeks before he's sent north to Iraq.
Sounds like it's ridiculously hot, but otherwise good.
I will try to keep you guys updated on all the happenings!

A Savannah getaway

I officially love Savannah Georgia!!!

Such a beautiful, historic city and

perfect for a romantic rendezvous for

me and Jim before he ships off!

They have tons of these beautiful parks throughout the entire city

Here we are in one of those parks, although it's hard to tell in the dark

We picked the perfect time to be in a southern city.....the 4th

of July is done right in the south.

We walked down on the waterfront, where they had an awesome

fireworks display

We have a lot of pictures like this....we were pretty happy to

see each other!

Smooch in the park!

Another park shot:)

My friend Molly is married to one of the army guys and we

got to travel together.

Despite the beautiful city, the weather was

miserable, much like Florida a couple weeks ago!

It wouldn't be Georgia without a red white and blue riverboat!

One GIANT daquiri please!

Jim's official send off ceremony in the 100 degree weather!

Alex and Molly at the ceremony

Oh yeah, we got matching couple shirts:)

So the general gist of this blog is....I love my husband!

I loved every second I got to spend with him

and now he's gone but we have 2 months down!

Miss you Jim......again

I'm in Georgia!!

So, Jim got a 3 day pass and I booked a ticket
to Georgia. I'm here for another couple days and
then I'll put up a post.

Part 2: Disney and Beach!!

I wanted to post periodically so that I don't post a

thousand pictures at the end of the trip, so bear with

me guys. Yesterday, we hit up Disney's Magic Kingdom

which was mostly supposed to be for Jadyn but I think I loved

it more than anyone:)

A little out of order, but this was after the long day of

waiting in lines and sweating profusely. We needed our

ice cream!

Me and Kels on the Snow White ride.....so fun and so

scary for little kids (and me) The witch is seriously creepy!!

Doesn't this look a little too natural?
Mom, I figured you'd appreciate this picture!

All the girls outside the princess castle!

Today we went to the beach! It was so much fun....really hot but the

ocean was wonderfully refreshing. We saw a little sea turtle while

we were swimming....it was awesome!!

We might have gotten a bit of sun today! It's a little

different from the Oregon sun we're used to.

The girlies again!

On the ride home, they stuffed me in the trunk!

We had a car packed full of people and it was my turn:)

We ended the night with dinner at Macaroni Grill but Jadyn

didn't quite make it to the table before falling asleep!

Florida Part 1

Well we made it to Florida after a long day of traveling!!

We look alike down to our ridiculously cheesy expressions!
Our flight from LA to Orlando was overbooked by 20 people
so we decided to give up our seats for a free roundtrip ticket
anywhere in the US and all we had to do was wait an extra
hour for the next flight and it was first class!!!

Aiyana sleeping in our pre-first class seat:)

Jadyn was the best traveller ever!! After 15 hours, she was

still the happiest girl ever because she had her Ariel bag.

First class is amazing, and we totally didn't belong!! Look at

how dorky we are!
We got spoiled with all sorts of treats the whole flight!

Again, trying to play the part....

And it was all worth the long flight because we got to see this guy!!
Look at his awesome Disney attire!

Tristan and Jackie are the cutest couple ever

and such great hosts!!

I will keep posting updates so keep checking!

Happy 2 Years to Us!!!!

Today marks our 2 year anniversary!!!!

The only sad thing is that we're not together:(

But, it was an amazing anniversary, thanks to my wondefully

thoughtful husband. We were talking on the phone and he

told me to look up this song and download it and listen to it.
It was a really sweet song about him wishing he were with me

and he had me unplug my laptop and keep listening while

I walked outside.

After a tiny amount of confusion, I was greeted with this......

He had the whole thing set up and his mom, grandma and aunt

delivered them onto my doorstep. Inside my beautiful bouquet

of flowers, I found an even bigger surprise......

Diamond earings!!!!

I love you hubby! Hurry home to me!
