Yummy Dinner again!

We didn't take a picture this time of our yummy dinner, so you will just have to take our word for it.  AND it was a quick meal.  Tonight Paddy made french toast with a hint of cinnamon...SO GOOD!  We've been told that next time we need to use a loaf of the Hawaiian bread instead of regular white bread-can't wait!
Happy Breakfast for Dinner Friday!

Weekend Getaway!

Paddy surprised me with a trip to Vegas for my birthday.  Yes, I know my birthday was in September, but with moving, school starting and life, it had to be postponed-give the guy a break  :)  All that I knew about this trip is the amount of time we were going to be gone and we were going to do "something".  It wasn't until we were on the road that Paddy showed me the itinerary and I got excited.  Not only were we going to Vegas, but we also had tickets to see the Cirque de Soleil show KA.
We made pretty good time getting to Vegas (I only required one potty stop).  We pulled into the hotel, the valet man took our car and we checked in.  We stayed at the Signature Hotel which is part of MGM Grand and it was fabulous!  We were on the 24th floor and had a wonderful suite.
Thank you honey for a wonderful weekend away!  I wish we could go on vacation every weekend!

There was an outside door that we could close for added privacy...pretty fancy...

The mini kitchen...

The HUGE tub...

Roaming the Strip...

Amazing show!

Wow, that's a lot of numbers!

Yummy Dinner!

We busted out the crock pot tonight and had a yummy yummy dinner.  Paddy put a beef rump roast in the crock pot with some other ingredients (we have a Crock Pot cookbook).  When I got home it smelled amazing in the apartment!  To accompany our yummy french dip sandwiches I made my signature potato wedges with cheese and bacon on top.  

The Mexican joined us for dinner as well.  We got a thumbs up from her as well.  Yay for leftovers and another easy dinner.

Howdy from the Troudy's!

We have joined the blogging world!  Paddy (my husband) and I decided that we wanted to start a blog for a couple of reasons.  Most importantly is we wanted to start doing a better job of documenting our lives.  We don't do a very good job of taking pictures when we go out for fun events.  We want to be able to one day show our kids what their parents did before them.  Another reason we wanted to blog is because we always see random stuff as we're driving or out shopping, so instead of sending it to my SIL Kfuj to blog, we thought we'd have our own fun.
We will do our best to blog on a somewhat regular basis, but we're both pretty busy with work, school and life, so please don't have too high of expectations.  I've been really excited to start a blog and I'm glad to finally have it up and running.
