Great food with Yummy friends

Last night I finally, which has been almost two weeks, got to hang out with my j2. Jessica and I had two episodes of The Bachelorette to watch last night (Due to copious amounts of wine we drank, we didn't get through all of them...or even one)-Anyway, I still hate Bentley with a passion and I am unable to give you a weekly update. BUT we did have some amazing food and drinks so I will give you a quick and easy dinner for a summer night.

Yummy Kabobs-

1 Red, Yellow, and Orange bell peppers

2 Red Onions

2 Portobello Mushrooms (or more if you love them like Jess and I do)

Minced garlic

Olive Oil

Optional: Chicken, Steak, Shrimp

-Chop all the veggies up into squares and put them in a large bowl with olive oil and tons of garlic. Mix everything up and make sure everything is coated in olive oil and garlic.

-Soak the wood skewers in water and then start putting the veggies on in an alternating order

-Season the chicken, beef, or shrimp to flavor or general know how. Bryan is an amazing "grill master" so he did the seasoning on the shrimp, beef, and chicken. I know he used butter for the shrimp and something a bit spicier for the beef.

-Put the meat and shrimp on the bbq first and when they have about 10 minutes left to cook put the veggies on.

We drank a cab from Trader Joe's called Velvet Moon-very yummy for 4.99 and then for dessert we had a variety of Nothing Bundt Cake's, which is a fabulous cake shop in Reno. The lemon and red velvet are my favorite! We drank Moscato with dessert, which was also from Trader Joe's and it was in the coolest bottle ever!

Jess and I had a lot of catching up to do, from my trip to Alabama to her trip to Oregon and the general updates of life. It was a great evening and I can't wait for RENO RODEO tonight. j2 will be in the JD tent having a blast for a second night in a row!!! I'm so lucky to have such a great friendship!

What makes life worth it??

Yesterday was my last Saturday not working...unfortunately I cannot move home this summer and work my old (amazingly awesome) job at IDT. This is all because I have to work summer school for my speech practicum-which isn't paid :( and I am off track from my original job this Thursday. So I gotta make some cash during the summer to pay bills and to save up for my trek back to Bama (apparently that is what they call it-kinda like Nevada versus Nuhvahda).

Besides my boohooing about not having free weekends anymore, yesterday was grand! Started my morning off right with some homework (yeah not really grand, but I didn't procrastinate), got ready, went to World Market and met up with Jessica and got the coolest gift for our friend and previous roommate Tasha, went to Starbucks (love me some Venti, Iced Black Tea, with no syrup, and light ice), then went home...that was grand, but what really made my life worth it yesterday was...

Cody and I just click. The only bad thing about our relationship is that we can get emotional (kinda like the crazy kind-not sad) and we are impulsive (and this is not usually to our relationship benefit, unfortunately)...ANYWAY-we click, we love to do things together, we love to be silly together, aka we do the oompa loompa dance together, and generally have a comfort level for each other that I honestly have never felt with anybody else. When he wakes up in the middle of the night he will kiss my forehead, snuggle until he gets hot :), and in the morning joke with me that I stole all of his covers, even though he kicked them off. This love is true-intense sometimes, but true. With all that nonsense said, yesterday we went to BestBuy to use up the gift card Jessica got him for his birthday and the kid didn't want to get anything BUT

That's right...Eclipse the movie!!! He said all he wanted to do is watch me watch this movie-he thinks I make funny faces while watching movies, which I do tend to show a lot of different emotions while watching movies.

So luckily no guys read my blog and so he won't feel dethroned on the manhood for buying this movie, but it truly meant a lot. So what makes life worth it??? The simple things in life...with your favorite person. Of course we went to a fabulous birthday party after and when we got home...you guessed it we watched ECLIPSE!!! Love Twilight!! Love my Wallis!! He truly makes my life worth it!!
