After being married for so long, it kind of gets hard to be innovative when it comes to romance and dating. After while, some couples fall into this rut, where they do the same routine over and over and it just gets so old! That's why it's important to keep things fun and interesting every once in awhile.
This past weekend my husband and I went on a date. At first, it was the typical weekend date of eating out and watching a movie, but after the movie, we decided to walk around town and I wanted to keep exploring, while my husband just wanted to do what we always do and just go straight home. I started to get down because I am a very adventurous type of person that loves spontaneity and exploring new things, so while he started driving home, I just told him, "WHY CAN'T WE JUST PICK A ROAD AND SEE WHERE IT TAKES US?!" He saw that I really wanted to go on an adventure, so my husband being the supportive man that he is, got off the freeway and told me "Left or Right?" I knew if we turned right, we would just head back home eventually, so I told him "LEFT!" which was towards the mountains and an area I didn't think I been to before? We drove it through three cities we never heard of before. One was called "Sparta" I think and one was Montrose? I never heard of those cities but they were near Hollywood and Burbank and were very interesting cities to visit. We then kept driving up and ended at the foothills of the mountains and when we couldn't drive any higher, we put our car in neutral and coasted all the way back down. To be honest, not only was it fun and exciting to explore new places we never been to before, but it was also a great time to spend with your spouse or significant other because we spent the whole time just talking and enjoying each others company. So there you have it, if you guys are looking for something fun and inexpensive to do this weekend and are feeling a little adventurous, why not grab you sweetheart and pick a road and see where it takes you; you never know, it might just lead you to falling in love.....Until Next time!

I missed him before I met him
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
