Seventy

We have a sweet new addition in our family. He's been with us since Dec 23rd, but I haven't gotten a chance to introduce him here...properly :)
His name is Sirius. Sirius Black!
He's 8 months old and black except for a couple little stray white hairs. He's spoiled rotten and is my little partner-in-crime. He sleeps above my head at night and usually likes to wake me up early to be pet and loved on even though I'm exhausted and just want to sleep! He's a minx, but I adore him.


We are moved and almost completely settled in our house on post. There are a few more things we'd like to get taken care of, but as of right now, I'm fully content with this! Joshua really likes his job here in Colorado and I'm really liking the way things are going for now so it's a good thing. In March, I got a chance to visit one of my best friends who lives in DC. It was a super awesome trip and I am dying to go back. When I got home from said March trip, I showed Joshua all my pictures and he was hooked....completely! We are going back in June! I can't wait. 
Here's a couple from my trip in March. It was such a good time and I got to experience things that I never thought I would!
 The cherry blossoms
 The National Cathedral
 The view from the top of the cathedral
 Ashley and I at the top after the 30 story Tower Climb
 Sprinkles cupcakes
Arlington National Cemetery
 Tomb of the Unknown Soldier



The Lincoln Monument

 The Library of Congress. Aka- the largest Library in the United States and second largest in the world!
Our Capitol! Was amazing to see in person...but then I remembered that the Texas capitol is bigger and it made me a little happy ;)

Whew. That was a lot of fun! There was so much more that I did, but don't want to bore you with all the nonsense!

I have a couple NEW recipes to share! I can't wait!

Sixty-Seven

Update!
I haven't updated in months. Like literally, MONTHS! How depressing. Sure there's not many who read this, but that's okay. I will just talk to myself!
First update, Hess (Joshua's very good friend from Korea) was living with us for the first 3 months we were here at Carson. It was stressful but I'm glad we could help house him in his hour(s) of need.
My best friend, Ashley, came and spent Thanksgiving weekend with us. We had just moved into our house so we were literally dodging boxes everywhere we walked but I was so glad to have here there. We had been living in a hotel for the entire month previous to that and I had been stuck with two boys. Needless to say, I NEEDED to have some girl time.
It's so nice to finally have our house...an American house! There's not much about it that I don't adore. It's so nice to have an oven that I don't have to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit every time I want to cook something (I still remember that it's 180C when you are trying to cook at 350F).
Let's see...what else is new?
Oh! I know! Sirius!
Sirius is our newest addition to the family. We got him about a day after he turned 3 months, on December 23rd. He is now 4 months old and a definite mama's boy. He sleeps with me (won't sleep on Joshua's pillow..only mine) and will fall asleep at my feet while I'm washing dishes. He's such a little cutie and we just adore him. He's black with grey white behind his ears and his back is a bit peppery. He's got little grey and white hairs mixed into his black fur on his back. I always tell people he looks like a 45 year old man who just started to grey.

^This is our sweet Sirius Lupin Delp

I am job searching but haven't had much luck yet so for right now I've just been doing the housewife thing. I make sure lunch and dinner are done, floors are clean, clothes are washed, and our pantry is stocked. It's been a lot of fun but I really would like to find even just a part time job.
I've got a few recipes to add to the blog, so I'll be doing that over the next few days. :)
Xoxo,
