Hello beloved! Sorry I haven't been writing for awhile, so much has been happening that I haven't had the energy! I was feeling inspired though and thought I would come on and share.
As I was doing my wifely duties today; you know, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, dishes, ironing my husbands work clothes, etc. I was listening to my playlist on my phone. I always like to download songs that describes something that relates to my life or my marriage and I like to think that I am compiling a song list to the soundtrack of my life. At any rate, I was listening to my lifes soundtrack and I started thinking about my life and my husband as songs often make us do and it was a song by Christina Perri titled A 1,000 years and also another song by my favorite band The Civil Wars called To Whom it May Concern, that really got me thinking. These songs are about loving someone before even knowing who they were and that's EXACTLY how it was with my husband.
I was thinking back...waaaayyyy back from when I was a little girl. I never could sleep very well, I was always afraid of the dark and never felt safe, so I would put pillows next to me in order for me to feel secure enough to sleep. I wouldn't use just one pillow and cuddle with it either..NO, I would use like 10 and make a small mountain, then I would either cuddle or put my feet up over them and then I would fall asleep. After I got married, now that I think of it, I don't use pillows anymore, because when I turn to my side, I see that same exact mountain and feel secure..LOL But to be honest, I always felt so insecure at night, but since I got married, from that first moment that I laid down in my marital bed and my husband put his arms around me to cuddle, all my fears and insecurities melted away and I felt safe and secure enough to sleep.
It was like before I was married, I was only living half a life, like a HUGE part of me was missing and I knew in my heart that it was Marko and that he was out there somewhere looking for me too. As cheesy as it sounds, I am a big movie buff and when I was younger, one of my favorite movies was An American Tail, where they sang this song that still gets to me until this day titled Somehwere out there. Okay that's not the cheesy part, the cheesy part is that I use to sit at my bedroom windowsill and sing that song as I looked up at the great big moon in the sky and I would wonder if he was looking at that same moon and somehow we were connected? Yeah I know, cheesy right? Nah, I'm just a hopeless romantic like that! Anyway, as you probably read in my first blogs where I spilled about our whole love story, I would literally see him in my dreams, but never his face because I didn't meet him yet. Truthfully, I think God did it that way, because half the fun of the journey was trying to find him and if I already knew who he was, then what was the point of that adventure?
All in all, the point of my crazy ranting is that I missed my husband before I even knew him. It was like in my dreams I could see the magnificent romance of it, but when I woke up, he was gone. I think that is why I slept so much when I was younger because when I was awake it felt like an eternity before I would see him again in my dreams. Then when I got married, I stopped sleeping so much, because finally my waking reality was my dream come true.....until next time beloved <3

Easy homemade eclairs
Hello my beloved and Happy Valentines day!!! I know we are still a day away, but when you're in love, it's Valentines day EVERYDAY! I actually started the beginning of this week being extra sweet to my sweety and making extra special dinners. Tonight after dinner, we watched a cheesy valentines movie and my hubby mentioned that he was craving something sweet. I turned to him and asked him what he wanted and that I would make him anything. He started acting like a girl saying, " I don't know, I don't know..." So I gave him some suggestions and one of them was eclairs. He got excited and said he wanted me to make him 10!! But I said relax count Chocula...I'm going to make us like 2... So off I went to the kitchen to bake some love for my love and it's super easy to make so I thought as a sweet Valentines gift to you all I would share my recipe; here it is, enjoy and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY:
Ingredients:
4 eggs (large)
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1 cup water
Prep:
Oven 425 degrees Fahrenheit, line cookie sheet with parchment paper
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, put 1 cup water and 1/2 cup butter over heat, until butter is completely melted.
2. Add flour and mix until it becomes dough then remove it from heat and put it in a mixing bowl.
3. Mix 4 eggs ( one at a time) until they are mixed well
4. Put mixture in a piping bag and on your cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper), pipe eclairs 3 1/2 " long
5. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown
6. Cool, cut eclairs in half and put filling ( you could make your own custard, but I just take the easy route and use vanilla pudding).
Icing: to make the chocolate on top, just get some semi sweet chocolate chips and heat in a saucepan until melted and then dip tops of eclairs, let cool and enjoy!! To be honest they are delicous even without the icing...mmmmmmmmmm

The most magical place on earth...
Where else can you go to the movies, see an awesome play, eat gumbo in New Orleans, window shop in Tinsel Town (Hollywood), go clubbing, visit the past and go back to the future all in one day? Why at Disneyland Parks of course!!
Hello my beloved friends, hope all is happy and well with you all?! Lately my husband and I have been caught up with family affairs and job hunting and decided to take a day just to ourselves and wanted to go to the movies. We were suppose to just go to the theatre at the local mall, but at the last minute my husband decided it would be more fun if we went to Disneyland since we have passes and haven't gone in awhile.
All I can say is, it was really packed! We never gone on a Saturday, so I was surprised at how absolutely crowded it was; we could hardly walk to where we wanted to go without being in the middle of a huge crowd! Anyway, we went to the movies in the city walk and it wasn't so bad. The theatre wasn't so crowded and we made it just in time to see the movie start (we saw "Warm Bodies," but I don't want to talk about it and ruin the movie incase any of you readers haven't seen it yet).
After the movies, we walked down the city walk and decided to go into the park and do all the things we haven't been able to do yet. When we got into the park, OH MY GOSH was it crowded!! We decided to cut through the stores, which I of course recommended ( so I can see all the cute stuff they have naturally). We managed to make it to New Orleans and stopped at the Royal St. cafe which is located just behind the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. I managed to find us a table and sat there while my husband waited in line and bought us a bread bowl with gumbo and a side of apple fritters. He originally ordered steak gumbo, but they gave us vegetarian instead (what's that about?) but we didn't really mind since it was so crowded and it cost the same amount no matter which gumbo you ordered, so we ate it and it was still delicious (I never liked gumbo, but the flavors and ingredients were just so yummy, I wouldn't mind trying every kind they have)! After lunch, we walked around and managed to make or way to fairy tale land where we tried on hats at the mad hatter shop, then we walked a little further into tomorrow land where they had this really cute ewok beanie that I REALLY want and hope they still have if I get a job soon.
We got tired of the crowd, so we decided to walk down main street and cross over to California Adventure, which was A LOT more roomier compared to Disneyland. We were able to walk around the whole park and didn't have to worry about crowds. We went to see the Aladdin Show that was playing at the theatre in Hollywood and didn't mind waiting 20 minutes because our seats were absolutely perfect! We sat in the orchestra section and was able to see everything and the Genie really hit the nail on the head with all of his new zingers and side jokes, which really had the crowd rolling on the floor laughing. I think my favorite line was when he came out pretending to talk on the phone which was really his lamp and told the crowd to hold on because he was talking to Jerry Springer (I think the joke would of been funnier if he said Maury Povich), but he acted shocked and said "WHAT, the DNA test results are in? PAPA SMURF IS MY FATHER?!!!!" that was just one of his many funny jokes during the play. After the show, we took a hard left down Sunset Blvd and found a hidden arcade area and played to hoops (the basketball game) for awhile, which my legs were so sore afterwards; WHAT A WORK OUT! After we got tired of playing games, we walked out into the club scene, because the Mad Hatter Tea Party started which is where a live band plays current party hits, while the bars are open and they have two different dance club scenes for you to enjoy.
My husband and I aren't really party people anymore, so we decided to ditch the loud music and crazy youngsters starting to get drunk and instead took a stroll back towards the front of the park, stopping to window shop at all the old fashioned stores where they set it up to be just like you stepped into the past and are back in the 1930's- 1940's.
After visiting the past, we decided it was time to come back to reality as it was now 7:00p.m. and we were pretty tired from the day, so we headed out of the park, still stopping to see all of the shops and live entertainment down City Walk. Once we got back on the tram, into our car and headed out of the park and towards home, I turned to my husband and said, that was the BEST DATE we had in awhile! We didn't buy anything or spend a lot of money, I think the total we spent on that whole date was $30 and that was for the movie, for us to eat and for gas to get there and home. See my beloved you don't have to spend a lot of money to have a good time, all you need is an adventure and the one you love!...Until next time
