In-n-out

Ok so Aaron and I are having a second wedding in June, and we're having the reception at my parents house. So I have been trying to figure out a good catering place. So I'm thinkin Macaroni Grill or BJ's Pizza...ya know, places like that. BUT then......I thought of the In-n-Out Burger Truck!!! How freakin awesome would that be?! And it's SO an Aaron and Lauren thing. People would be talking about it for years. I know we would be! Well anyways, just an idea. One of many.

Now I want a cheesburger with onions, fries (crispy), and a chocolate shake to dip the fries in. mmmmmm. I could guess what Aaron would want at the moment....A double double with onions, no tomato, fries with a ton on salt and a dr. pepper (not necessarily becuase he likes dr. pepper, but because he knows that I will most likely drink half of his soda so he likes to get things I will drink...haha).

The Badasses of 1/5....

This is my husband.

This was taken on his last deployment in Kuwait.

There he is with his machine gun on his shoulders and his rifle on his hip.

This picture needs no further explanation other than this...

A picture says a 1000 words.

Do you see the parallel?

I'm so proud of 1/5. When they went through their month long training up in Mojave Viper, the guys who were running the training said they were one of the best Units to ever go through there. They have had the best training and they have the best men among them. I have complete faith that they will follow out and finish their task and return home in early December.

So here is an article for everyone to read if you are in any way confused about what my husband and his friends are doing there.

Watchmen. Good or super confusing and stupid?

I'm leaning towards the second one. First of all, it was WAY too graphic. It was almost as gross as the SAW movies. ew. Second of all, it was a little confusing with all the flashbacks. I didn't understand the end when the newspaper guy wanted to publish Roarshacks diary, and the first entry was "Tonight a comedian died", but it was dated after the movies time period?? Right? OH and it was way TOO long. But I will say that Dr. Manhattan was just about the hottest glowing blue guy I have ever seen.
If anyone can give me some clarity on the movie, that would be nice.

My Cat....

...is crazy! Last night I was watching a movie(Watchmen, which I will discuss later) while cleaning the apartment and I got up to check on Tiger. I hadn't heard him in a while. And you know what they say about kids and animals! "You're being too quite, what did you do?!"

Anyways, I had left the windows in our bedroom open because Tiger loves a fresh breeze on his face. So I walk into our bedroom and look over at the window, and he had punched the screen out and jumped out the window! I immediately freaked out and ran outside and was frantically searching for him. I didn't see him anywhere, so I ran upstairs to Ashley's apartment, and she helped me look. We couldn't find him anywhere, but, like always, we got to talking and sure enough, I heard the little jingle of Tigers bell and tags. Yay! I have never been so happy to hear that noise! I called for him and he started walking towards the window he had jumped out of it, WHICH I had closed and locked. As soon as I went back inside and opened it back up, he jumped right in. Phew! He gave me a good scare, but I am never letting him out again! The apartment is already empty enough without Aaron jumping around, but I can't imigine how empty it would be without my Tiger meowing every 5 seconds.

Crisis averted.
