PCS Quesadillas

Cute door hanger "Shhh...that's an order!"

Since the 1st house fell through, we are staying at the Fort Polk Holiday Inn. Eating out can get old and expensive so we decided to make dinner in our hotel room. With only a mini fridge and a microwave, we whipped up a real Mexican fiesta. For this recipe you will need:
Flour tortillas
Shredded cheese
Sour cream
Salsa
Precooked chicken chunks or steak pieces. These are usually around the lunch meats
at the store.
To Prepare: lay a  tortilla on a paper towel or paper plate, whatever you got. Sprinkle some cheese on, probably about 1/4 of a cup. Sprinkle on some chicken chunks. Microwave for about a minute, watch it because microwave cook vary. You can spoon salsa and sour cream over the chicken before you fold over the tortilla. I spoon, Josh dips. We had carrot sticks on the side.

We went looking around the PX (the Army store on base). I found these amazing sunglasses! Juicy Couture for only $50.00. I think that they are just what I need to attract sassy new friends on the base. Josh commented that I would meet the wrong sort of friends! I had to put them back for now!

More pictures

Blogger gets a little crazy when I load too many pictures in one post. So here is a continuation of pictures:

Master bedroom

Master bathroom vanities. The mirror really need something. They look unfinished.

Checking out the tub. Josh was sweet enough to take all of these pictures so I could measure and scheme up plans!

More pictures to come. When I do frame out the mirrors, what color do you think I should make the frames?

New House!!

Modeling in the kitchen

Love these deep drawers! What to put in them?

We went out on Monday to look at houses. We really liked this one. The price is right, it's in a good location and it has lots of nice features. We are hoping for a closing ASAP so Josh and the cats can get out of the hotel and into the house. The moving truck with all of our stuff showed up on Monday so it's ready to be unloaded into our new place. Lots more pictures to come.

Roll Tide!

My apartment packed up.

The truck that came to move out our junk!

We left Blacksburg on New Years Eve to head for Louisiana. We spent the night in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The night before we left we watched this seriously funny commercial on ESPN.

It was fun to be in the home of U of Alabama for the night. We drove around the campus. Because it was Christmas break, there was no one around. Their stadium is freaking huge. It puts Lane Stadium at Virginia Tech to shame. The fraternity and sorority houses were huge. We ate dinner and went back to our room. The dogs barked their heads off and whined all night the night before so I passed out at 9! We had the cats in a no pets allowed Holiday Inn Express. They enjoyed their stay.

Bling-Bling Jewelry Box Makeover

Josh bought me a new,really big jewelry box for our Anniversary. My old one was nice but I wasn't sure what to do with it, I didn't need two! I decided to make it over for Josh's 5 year old cousin Elizabeth. She is into pink and bedazzles like me! This was a lot of fun. The paint job took me forever to tape off and get the paint to cooperate with me!

I spray painted all of the handles white.

Catching Up with Pictures: Christmas Decor and Josh Graduates

We have had so much going on that I haven't had the time to sit down and blog about it. Well here it all is!!

Josh graduated!!

Josh and I meet in class at Virginia Tech. It was fun to have him at graduation with me (I work graduation because I work for the school). I am really proud of him and ready to move on to our new life together but I don't want him to go! 

Our friend Justin Tanner. He got his PhD in Biological Sciences.

I couldn't get him to pose on stage!!

Walking into Cassell. He was right on the end in the front row.

That's him!!

In line to walk out. Talking to his Northern Virginia Army friend

Christmas Stuff!! I didn't get too Christmas-y this year. I had to sort through the Christmas stuff to get it ready to move. I set up my Peanuts Christmas stuff and that was it!

Me in the mirror looking hot in my sweats!

A little Hokie Snowman! 

I didn't craft too much! I just didn't have time but I made cute & simple ornaments using my Cricut.

I cut out letters with my cricut, carefully modge-podged the letters on, stuffed the ornaments with crinkle paper and then put on a loop of ribbon. I think that they turned out pretty cute.

Moving Day

This is a lame no picture post. I sat down to blog while the movers are here, I got my camera out of my purse to get some pictures to post and then the movers asked me question and I put the camera down somewhere. I have piles of junk everywhere for the movers and then piles of stuff that I don't want moved with this move. So here's a quick run down of what's up with us. I will have more detailed posts soon!

• Got engaged to Josh! Have that post written up but I need my camera so I can post pictures of the rock.
• We are no longer buying the house in Deridder. The bank apprasial came back more than $10K under the contract price. The buyers wouldn't move on the price and we aren't interested in paying cash for something that's not even worth that much! We do not know where we are going to live. We are leaving at the end of this week to get Josh to Fort Polk and will spend the week finding somewhere to live!
• We had a fun Christmas in Virginia with Josh's family. I got to meet more of his family and hang out with the rest of them. I like his family.
• Movers are here to pack up our stuff. Josh will come live with me until we leave to take him to Louisiana.

I am hanging out today with the movers and once I find the camera I will write up some more posts!

LAME POST UPDATED!! I left the camera in the kitchen and Windell, the mover brought it to me.
