What's gotten into me??

I have no idea!! The other day Jon had to attend something on base after school, I knew he would not be home for several hours so I came home and thought I would attempt to make dinner. I ended up making chicken enchiladas and they turned out GREAT!! They were very easy to make. Needless to say, Jon was very surprised to see me cooking when he got home. He had the idea that he would be coming home from a long day to be the one to make dinner. It doesn't end here.... The same night I ended up making brownies and chocolate chip cookies. How original huh. I actually made them because one of the students in my class had a birthday. I am the only married women in the class, and I had to act like I was the homemaker in the class. Ha Ha! So I spent the evening over the stove cooking. It was actually fun! I think I like cooking....as long as I feel like I know how. Anyway, I brought a whole container of my goodies to school and everyone seemed to like them. Well, so they say. A few of my instructors even had a taste! I think next time I will try and make something a little more creative though. I just made what I had ingredients for. I think I'm on a roll!!!

I have never been a cooker and we have almost been married 4 years....maybe when Brooklyn is old enough to eat with us I will be better. I love your bowls where did you get them?? I think my mom has the same ones ??; October 11, 2008 at 10:52 AM

I get done eating and then start cleaning before jason is even done. I am basically waiting for him to finish so i can put his plate in the dish washer.; October 11, 2008 at 5:38 PM

I feel like the luckiest women in the world! My husband is so good to me, I could not ask for a better man. I find that everytime I ask a question like "Can we go get ice cream?" or "Can we stop here or go there?" His response is ALWAYS "Of course! My baby gets whatever she wants!" Wow, how did I get so lucky?? When I ask why he responds this way, he says simply put "Because I love you." He is constantly telling me how much he loves me and that I am the most important thing in the world to him. Awwwwwwwwwwww!

This was probably my favorite activity we did on our trip! Mostly because I am a HUGE animal lover. We went to a park that was just full of monkeys running around everywhere! We bought nuts, bananas, and corn to feed them. The monkeys were so adorable! They would run right up to us and grab the food out of our hands with their cute little fingers! At one point the monkeys actually jumped on us and we got to hold them. As much as I love my husband, I was a little tempted to leave him behind and bring home a monkey with me instead! I love you Jon!!

We spent of total of 10 days in Thailand. Five of them were spent in the city, Bangkok, and the other half was spent on the beautiful beaches of Thailand. One of our activities was spending all day on a speedboat touring different beaches and also snorkling! There is a movie, "The Beach" (with Leonardo Dicaprio in it), that movie was filmed on an island called
"Phi Phi Island". It was so cool to visit the actual place the movie was filmed! Jon and I watched the movie before we went so we knew the significance of where we were! It was a beautiful place, my only complaint was way to many tourists!

I thought it was pretty ironic that I was the one to get sick on our honeymoon. I was as little paranoid while we were in Thailand, so I tried not to eat anything weird and I always washed my hands and then used hand sanitizer. Jon on the other hand, was completely opposite. My only conclusion is that Jon is more immune to the bacteria outside of the U.S. since he has been to Iraq. After being deathly ill for several days, I finally went to the hospital. I was lucky enough to see an American doctor. They did some blood tests and the results came back that I had a bacterial infection in my intestines. The doctor told me that I either had ecoli or salmonnela. He said the most common way to get this is from drinking ICED drinks. They do not use bottled water for ice, so the ice melts in your drink and your drink is then contaminated.
