Hey blog world! Remember me? No, you don't? Please forgive me for abandoning you. I just felt like I had nothing interesting to write about. But I do miss it and I love accounting for my boring lil life, so I guess I'll continue. Plus Charlie left this morning on a deployment so I want to account for what is happening since I delusionally think he'll care :-) Love you sweety!
I made some yummy crockpot chicken the other day but didn't snap any pictures (whoops). It looked like crockpot chicken, haha! My dad randomly said he liked Bourbon chicken, and that he decided he likes "alcohol in meals" even though he doesn't drink a drop (and never has!). I knew Charlie would love it so I looked up a few reference points and came up with my own formula:
Pam spray (for the sides of the crockpot)
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tbs apple cider vinegar
1 tsp ginger
1 tbs garlic
1/2 cup whiskey
2 chicken breasts (for charlie)
4 chicken thighs (for dad)
*I would have done 4 breasts for Charlie but he was leaving on his deployment the next day*
I cooked it on high for 4 hours. It was yummy! Sorry for the lack of pictures.
Okay so more catch up will come soon but for now I'll just share some fun pics.
Here is Maya burying her little head in me at a sweet moment at Starbucks right after we got back from italy (yes I realize that was at the beginning of May).
I love when she does that! And sheesh, I look old. Can we speak about the fact that I recently had a birthday, but as you all know, I turned 24 yet again.
Charlie got me this for my birthday:
Amazing! Now I just need to find embroidery software compatible with Mac. I'm surprised by the lack of options. He also got me some boxing stuff which we'll now have to wait to use until he gets back in September.
My favorite part was probably this card from my parents:
Seriously - most fitting card! Almost made me less jealous of the European cruise my parents were on, lol!
I got a visit from this little one later in my birthday week:
My how she has grown! I can't believe it's been a year since you stayed with us little "mazy" I miss you and your momma, but am so glad you're not too far in AZ.
Look how cute she is:
And guess what? This 1.5 year old is potty training! Birdie, whatever's in your water, we all need it!
"Peepee peepee!!!" She knew when to tell use and went in the potty. Amazing!
I actually got Charlie to take some pictures with me before he left, which is a huge accomplishment since he hates when I take pictures of him or us.
Haha this one is funny:
Check out his multi cam two piece flight suit!!! Too bad he can't wear it here when it's this hot.
I'll miss you my love, and can't wait to be with you in December. I love you!
