|{ Guilty Pleasure }|
Do you want to know my guilty pleasure? There are few but I think my biggest guilty pleasure of all is
TIRAMISU!!
It is so wonderful, it's definitely a big happy maker for me and I just can't resist its delightfulness!! I had it for the first time ever in November of 2009 on a cruise and now it is just IRRESISTIBLE!!!
My husband and I celebrated Valentines tonight, late due to our health issues, and we went to Macaroni Grill for dinner. I had a baked lemon pasta and he had lamb, which I tasted for the first time and FELL IN LOVE, lamb is wonderful!! What a unique flavor, it was crazy! And then, for dessert, we had tiramisu and lemon passion cake, YUMMY!!! After that we went and saw The King's Speech, which was really funny and a great movie!! It was a great 'Valentines Day!'
Jon let me have the last bite of tiramisu and I was very thankful!!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

DAY 27- A PICTURE OF YOU LAST YEAR AND NOW AND HOW HAVE YOU CHANGED SINCE THEN?
(Still haven't edited these, haha. Things have been crazy lately, that's my lame excuse.)
So, physical differences, my hair is shorter and a different color and I've gained a few pounds (:( which I am trying to lose).
Other than that... let's see. I have a job now, I am even more interested in photography (and I at least think that I'm better than I was), my sense of style in clothes has changed a bit (and I'm trying to wear more colorful things), I continue to get more and more happy in my marriage, I continue to become more independent, and... well that's all I can really think of right now. There are plenty of things I am still trying to improve and change, but that will come in time and it's been a great year!

DAY 24- A PHOTO OF SOMETHING THAT MEANS A LOT TO YOU
This is the music box my husband proposed to me with. He bought in Italy when he was on his mission specifically to give to his future wife. I love it and treasure it. The only thing I keep in it is the necklace and earrings I wore on our wedding day.
This also counts as todays photo, #55.

|{ A Quick Trip To Cincinnati }|
Jon's spring break started this last weekend so we took advantage of it to take a little trip. We drove somewhere that was close enough to not waste ALL of our time driving and ended up in Cincinnati, Ohio, which took about 4 hours! We stayed at a 4 star hotel for $40!! Woot, yay for Priceline!
The drive down was really fun. We usually listen to a book on CD when we drive long distances and we did have one but we just ended up talking the entire time! It was wonderful!! Towards the end of the trip we turned on some Gaga, which is always wonderful!! For dinner we stopped at Chipotle (not as good at Qdoba but hecka better than fast food) and then finished our drive.
The next morning we made sure to get up at a decent time (we sure do love sleeping in), ate a little Cookie Crisp for breakfast, and hit the town. We wandered through downtown for a bit and then walked across the Purple People Bridge over to Kentucky. We went to a little mall like place and it was not as exciting as we had heard that it was supposed to be, but that was okay, we still had fun. We played in the arcade and got some candy with what we won and had a blast. Except that I broke my favorite Fossil bracelet which definitely broke my heart. Then for lunch we ate a yummy burger joint which was definitely tasty! They had this appetizer that was slices of jalapeño that were deep fried. YUMMY! I decided I definitely want to make them, maybe even better than they did! Haha!
After lunch it started raining and we didn't really want to walk back the almost 2 miles to our hotel again, so we got a cab, which I always HATE! So nasty! Even after the few minutes we were in the car I felt all gross after inhaling nasty smoke smell and it took about an hour or so to feel ship shape again, but I would take that than having to walk in the rain so it wasn't so bad! So we got to the hotel and took a little break then walked across the street (literally) to where they were having an auto show! It was SO fun!! Not only did we get to look at nice expensive cars, which is always fun, but we actually spent most of the time looking at SUVs that would fit a family a six for our future car! I am VERY anti van, so I refused to look at any, except Jon did convince me to look at the Toyota Sienna, you know, the one with the awesome commercials that make it look amazing! It actually was pretty good looking and didn't have quite as much of the 'van' look, but still, it was still a van. If I HAD to get it I could live with it, but I prefer SUVs. We eventually decided we liked the Acura MDX the best! :)
After that auto show we went back to the hotel and just relaxed. We sat by the window (on the 21st floor) and just looked out at the city. After a while we started to notice that someone was playing with a laser and shining onto buildings and into peoples rooms. It was awesome and entertained us for quite a while!! Then we went to The Green Papaya for dinner, which was a pretty decent sushi restaurant. We definitely enjoyed it. That night we went to the hot tub (which was probably the thing we were looking forward to the most) and it ended up being disappointing. It was filthy. Oh well, maybe next time.
The next day we got up and drove to Jungle Jims, which is the LARGEST grocery store in the country and (being the foodies that we are) it was amazing!! They had some pretty fantastic things including enormous amounts of cheese, tons of salamis and cured meats, a HUGE variety of food from all sorts of countries, and the biggest produce section I have ever seen. It was so big that they even offered tours! They have tons of fun displays everywhere, it was like an amusement park! They even had a big hot sauce section that had a full sized fire truck sitting on top of it! And we found the perfect hot sauces for the two of us!! :)
After we were done we drove home and hit a huge snow storm. It was rough but we made it back safe and all in all had a pretty fantastic little trip!! It was a blast!
Oh!! And look at this CRAZY house we saw!!

I fairly recently changed the name of my blog to LoveStruck!! I chose it for several reasons. One- Because I am! My husband is everything to me! Two- It also comes from two songs that my husband and I love! Thunderstruck from ACDC and Starstruck from Lady Gaga. I wrote a post all about it HERE!!!

|{ Catching Up On The 30 Day Challenge }|
DAY 13- YOUR FAVORITE MUSICIAN AND WHY?
LADY GAGA!! I ADORE her!! There are a million reasons why, enough so that I decided she deserves her own post. So keep an eye out for a post all about GAGA!! Love you Mother Monster!!
DAY 14- A TV SHOW YOU'RE CURRENTLY ADDICTED TO.
I am watching SO MANY shows right now it is ridiculous!! So to pick just one... I would normally say Leverage, but since it's not on right now, I'll pick one that is.
MODERN FAMILY!!! If you have not started watching this show yet then you must! It is HILARIOUS!! I love watching it with Jon, he always laughs so hard!! And it's won awards including an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series!! It's amazing!
DAY 15- SOMETHING YOU DON'T LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT.
Chapstick!! Oh my gosh!! If I don't have my chapstick I freak out, I'm totally addicted! I seriously can't live without it, it's sad.
DAY 16- YOUR CELEBRITY CRUSH.
Again, so many to choose from in both the male and female categories. But for right now, I'm going to say ...
MATT BOMER!!
He plays Neal Caffrey in White Collar and he is BEAUTIFUL!! Not to mention he plays a thief, which just happens to always be my very favorite! But dang! I can't get enough of him! He was one of the people to introduce a category for the Golden Globe Awards!! Oh man he just gets me excited every time I see him! And who can resist those startling blue eyes!!
DAY 17- A PHOTO OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Starting with ME and going clockwise, Me, my husband Jonathan, my soon to be sister-in-law Shantell, my brother Skyler, my sister Kira, my sister Amberlee (Nichelle), my daddy Ray, and my mommy Tami.
DAY 18- SOMETHING YOU CRAVE A LOT.
Sunflower seeds. It's an addiction, one that I am actually pretty embarrassed about, not the most attractive food to eat but my Dad always had them growing up and now most of my family constantly eats them. But for goodness sakes I do love them, especially hot ones! They are kind of perfect for me, they keep me doing something with my hands and they are small enough that I don't feel like I'm snacking like crazy. I especially love them on road trips, they keep me awake when I start to feel sleepy.
