Ruth's Chris


So last Friday Chris and I wanted to go on a date. So when I got off work Chris had told me he had made reservations for us at this really nice steak house called Ruth's Chris. Some of his family members have eaten there before and said it was the best steak they had ever eatin, plus they wine and dine you! I'm usually a chicken person but this time I was obligated to try this "AMAZING" steak. It's a pretty fancy restaurant so we changed and got all done up and headed downtown.

This was by far the most EXPENSIVE restaurant Chris and I had ever been to. The service was amazing and the food was delicious! Chris and I both ordered a salad, we got the blue cheese lettuce wedge and I would have to say it was the best blue cheese I've ever had. They also brought our warm sour dough bread which was also so yummy. For our meal we obviously ordered a steak, but the way you order is ala cart, so you order your steak...(which my steak was about 42 bucks!!!) then you order whatever side dishes you want. Chris got the Ribeye steak and I ordered the Filet. And for our sides we got mashed potatoes and asparagus. My steak was so tender I could just use my fork to cut through it. It seriously melted in my mouth. :) After dinner we of course had to order desert, we ordered the duel chocolate cake with fresh berries and whipped cream. It was amazing to say the least.
When we finished our waiter brought us our check..total came to $125.00 including tip!!!! ummm HOLY CRAP..good thing we used a gift card and some cash we got for Christmas becasue with out that we wouldn't have chosen this place hahaha...we knew it was going to be expensive when we chose it but GEE, who could ever eat there on a regular basis?! lol It was such a fun and romantic date for Chris and I to be able to go and spend some alone time with each other. I would definitely recommend trying it at least once :)

cHrIsTmAs DaY 2010

This Christmas was mine and Chris's 3rd Christmas together and 2nd Christmas being married! Where has the time gone?! I still can't believe it :) Christmas morning we woke up in our jammies we opened the night before and came downstairs to open the couple gifts we got each other.. Chris got me a new coolpix touch camera, which I am in love with! and a bunch of clothes! I got Chris an HDMI cable, new Puma shoes and socks, and also some basketball shorts. After we relaxed together most of the morning we finally got ready for the day and headed over to my parents for our Christmas dinner with my moms side of the fam.


We got to my parents and opened more gifts. My parents got us a griddle and gave us some money as well. We also did a gift exchange with my siblins, so my sister Emily got me a gift card to Victorias Secret and my little brother Sammy got Chris a HUGE thing of cashews (his fav) some church socks and a new wallet. Chris and I also framed some pictures for my mom of all of us kids and gave her some wedding pictures she's been wanting as well.

We then enjoyed the rest of the night hanging out with my family, eating good food and listening to my Grandma, Cousin and Aunt play their guitars. I love my family and I am so grateful for the times we are all able to get together and enjoy spending time as a fam!



I am sad the Christmas season is over but kinda relieved at the same time.. It can get so stressful! I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband and everything he does for us! We had a great Christmas together and I can't wait for more to come. Hopefully by next Christmas we will be adding or talking about adding someone to our little family :) lol...fat chance though!

Christmas Eve with The Smiths

This year we had our annual Christmas Eve party with the Smiths at Stephs house. We had the famous Navajo tacos and enjoyed opening presents and spending time with the family! We do a gift exchange with one another because buying gifts for each person is way too expensive. This year I got a gift card to Rue 21 and Chris got a board game called bezzerweezer... we tried playing the game that night and realized it's for SMART people haha. We had such a fun time. I love spending Christmas Eve with all these fun people!
