Hi everyone! I’ve been busy, busy, busy with my new job. I’ve hardly even had time to spend with my boyfriend, and we live together! The thing that gets us is that he works mornings and I work afternoons, so we have about an hour to see each other during the day and he’s usually asleep by the time I get home.

Happily though he had a paid day off this past Friday and I didn’t work until the evening, so he took me out on a surprise sushi date. We ordered miso soup, which I can never get enough off, spicy salmon crunch, crunchy shrimp (my favorite!), and spicy tuna rolls. For desert we had chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. Such a delicious way to spend the morning!

Happy father’s day everyone, don’t forget to tell your daddies you love them! 

• Last week Sabrina and I went out to breakfast together. Since all we usually do is shop we thought it would be nice to do something different. We of course did end up going shopping after, but it was fun having a chat over yummy food as well.  
• My boyfriend really loves to bike and in the summer we do our best to go as often as possible. Now that we’re both working we don’t have as much time to get out there as we used to. But last Sunday we finally got the chance and took our bikes out for our first ride of the summer. It was fun and I was surprised that my endurance was as high as it was. We ended up biking 10 miles which made for great exercise. Hopefully we can find some time to go out there again soon! Afterwards we treated ourselves to lunch at Chipotle, we’re so predictable, haha. 
• My life continues to revolve around my babies. Thankfully it didn’t take them too long to get used to each other so I don’t have to babysit them 24/7 anymore. They can get a bit rowdy though and still need some supervision, but for the most part they’ve been getting along pretty well. When I’m on the computer Tobias likes to climb into the chair with me, curl up, and nap, it’s too precious. Just thought I’d mention it because that’s what he’s doing right now. ♥
• A little while ago Isabella and I spent the day together sipping on Starbucks and walking around the shops. I must sound like such a shopaholic because no matter what I’m doing I end up shopping. It’s probably not ok, haha. 
• Last but not least I’m happy to say that I’m finally employed! So far I’ve had an average of 12 hours per week but it’s better than nothing, right? I can’t wait to get my first check, It’ll be nice to have my own spending money. Retail is a little bit out of my comfort zone if I’m being honest, I’m usually rather reserved around most people so I’ve had to push myself a little to be more of a “people person.” So far so good, hopefully my managers appreciate the effort. I had a 7 hour shift my first day which kicked my butt, but I’ll have to get used to being on my feet all day anyways since I’m going into nursing. Also, working at a clothing store only perpetuates my shopping addiction, my first check will certainly be dedicated to expanding my wardrobe, I’ll start saving after that, haha. 

Happy week everyone!

My boyfriend has been especially busy lately with working two jobs and trying to spend time with his friends and family as well I’ve felt a little overlooked. Even though we do live together, I still feel like it’s important to go on dates and spend time together, so we took this weekend to do just that.

On Friday we decided to go out for dinner and a movie. We originally planned on going to Chili’s since it’s right next to the theater, but with an hour long wait it wasn’t going to happen. Defeated we made our way to Chipotle as a last resort, but on our way there we found Makisu Sushi Lounge! I’ve passed it a thousand times before and never gave it a second though, but I’m so glad we decided to stop in. It was a bit pricey but it was absolutely delicious and the interior was gorgeous! We tried four different rolls: California (snow crab, cucumber and avocado), spicy salmon (chopped house marinated salmon), fire cracker (lightly battered spicy tuna, cream cheese, avocado, asparagus  shiitake mushroom, and tobiko, wrapped in a soybean sheet and drizzled with creamy wasabi and sweet soy), and California crunch (snow crab & avocado, lightly fried, topped with spicy mayo and sweet soy). They were all so delicious I don’t think I can even pick a favorite! For desert we ordered a slice of fondant chocolate cake. It was a little rich for my taste, but delicious nevertheless. We ended up spending a little more than we had planned so we decided to save the movie for another day instead and spend the rest of the night hanging out at home.

On Saturday we woke up early and decided to make breakfast together before heading out to an early afternoon movie. We saw Star Trek Into Darkness which I’ve been wanting to see for quite some time now and I wasn’t disappointed. It had a great story, intriguing characters, and great action and effects. I’ve watched a bit of Star Trek in the past but I’ve always wanted to watch the complete series. Maybe I’ll take it up next after I finish re-watching Supernatural. 

Happy weekend! 

Thursday Isabella, Jose, and I went out to dinner and a movie. We ate at Noodles & Co. where I had Wisconsin mac & cheese with berry iced tea and after we watched The Hangover Part III. My vote was for Star Trek Into Darkness but I was obviously outvoted. Bradley Cooper’s face got me through it though, what a stud. 

Happy Saturday!
