I am alive

Sorry that I have been out for a bit. I was in AZ visiting family and didn't have my computer. And then I was in VA visiting family for my sister in laws wedding. I've been back home a week or so now and I am doing the halfway video for our spouses club.

A halfway video is a video of what we, the wives, have been up to while our husbands have been gone. We put together a video and they watch it halfway through the deployment. Next month marks halfway!! But we have to get it done and mailed early to make sure that it gets there in time. It has been fun to work on and I think it has turned out great! I only hope our boys enjoy it as much as we did making it!

I am headed back to AZ for the summer to work and earn a little money. I have not been able to find a job here in Lemoore and figured since Mike would be gone anyway it would be nice to be near family. And it won't hurt to earn a bit of money as well!!

I will try and update with some pictures soon!

Jenny's Wedding Weekend

Sorry that I have been MIA for a bit. I'll try and catch up. I've been visiting family in AZ for the past few weeks. The middle weekend I went to my sister in law's wedding. Here are some pics...

Adding a new region to the repertoire

A few gal pals and I headed up to Fresno for an evening of shopping, food, and hanging out. One of the ladies had heard mention of this Indian restaurant and she had been wanting to go for awhile, so we were like Hey, why not? And that's just what we did. After a little bit of mall shopping we headed to our destination of choice: North India Bar & Grill

And ordered a spattering of menu items: 

We got chicken curry, prawn curry, spinach and potato something, steak tandoori, steak in a tomato sauce, naan and rice. Everything was great! I will definitely come to this place again and try some more stuff. The other neat thing, they were having an Indian wedding reception in one part of the restaurant. It was fun to peek through the curtains and see all the women in the traditional sari.

My taste testers of the evening:

Thanks ladies, where's our next new adventure in food??
