Project 365 : Week 1

{Linking up with Laura for my first week of Project 365}

This whole a photo a day thing sounded so interesting that I wanted to try as well! I am now an Apple girl (got a Macbook and an Iphone for xmas!) so I figured why not give it a try! Maybe this project will help me focus on my blog a little more! At least forgetting the camera cannot be an excuse anymore, since my Iphone camera is so awesome!

My past week was filled with good times with Mr. Michael, who happened to be here since Christmas! Still can't believe the army let him come for that long, woo hoo! Anyways... here is my week :)

Day 1 - Sunday: Michael and I went to the Cardinals game! They won and I ate churros,
cinnamon almonds and we got in a little argument about filling the tank of the car or not. According to him, my car would drive another 20 miles if the empty light was on, but I don't trust my car. We ended up stopping for gas before the car stopped working. Win win!

Day 2 - Monday: We went to Fogo de Chao! Like I mentioned before, I'm Brazilian and have been living here for a year and a half and one of the things I miss the most (apart from my family, of course) is the Brazilian food! So we decided we'd go to FDC Steakhouse to eat lots of bbq! It's all you can eat and they bring fried bananas and cheese bread all the time! And I can assure anyone that goes there that it is authentic Brazilian barbecue! Oh, and it's always good to speak Portuguese with the waiters too! ;)

Day 3 - Tuesday: Playing with Instagram! Love this app!

Day 4 - Wednesday: We took a day trip to Michael's old address in Ft. Huachuca, Arizona. Pretty place, nothing to do though. It's literally in the middle of nowhere... about 15 miles from the border of Mexico. Definitely interesting, lol!

Day 5 - Thursday: Happy birthday, mommy! My beautiful ma is officially 48!

Day 6 - Friday: Michael and I got dressed up and went out for dinner with his buddy that was in Iraq with him in '09. Heard lovely things about the great leader my fiancee is while eating a delicious Chicken Parmesan! Yum!

Day 7 - Saturday: Michael left in the morning! Only God knows when I'll see him next... Long distance relationships suck. BIG TIME.

So that was my week! Looking forward to Week 2 of the Project! Woohoo!

i'm heartbroken

can't wait to get married

really -- that handsome guy in the picture can't wait to get married! and i thought girls would be the ones dying to do it, but my guy is seriously one of a kind! i love him so much and i ALSO can't wait to get married and spend the rest of my life with him!

so far, we have been thinking of marrying december '12 because he has family in germany that would like to attend and i have my family in brazil that i want to come as well... we don't want a big party, but my husband-to-be has many, many friends, so we're thinking 100... and we're thinking of going with navy blue& white theme... ahhh i never thought planning a wedding would be that hard... any tips on how to keep my sanity? lol

what matters the most is that when the party is over, i get to go home with this gorgeous guy:

and he'll be mine for eternity!

breaking dawn

 
i just watched breaking dawn and in my opinion it was the best movie in the saga so far! plus, bella and edward going to their honeymoon in rio de janeiro, my hometown?? PU-LEASE!! feeling important here, lol! i almost yelled to everybody "hey, that's where i'm from" but i figured that 1) they wouldn't care & 2) that would probably get me in trouble with the teenagers that wanted to watch the action in their honeymoon... oh well, at least i was able to recognize my beautiful rio and now i am really missing it! need to totally go visit the fam!

is anyone there also a fan of the twilight saga? i kinda am, i read the books, i watch the movies, my ex bishop is the father of the author of the book, so yeah... not completely hardcore fan though! if you guys haven't seen the movie yet, give it a try... it is really cool and much better than i thought it would be! 

PS: jacob is looking even better! YUMM-EYYY!

this past weekend...

i was surprised with this...

and we're SO happy! 

  

OMG! i can't believe i'm engaged!!!  

and my ring is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s <3

reason i was mia...

spending time with this handsome guy: it's so funny cause we're in a ldr and this month i've seen him almost every weekend and i gotta thank football for that! my guy is addicted to the cardinals and has season tickets, so although football is not my thing, i'm glad i can see him almost every weekend during football season, lol!

becoming completely addicted to this precious little girl: my first niece SOPHIA was born two weeks ago and i'm totally in love! she is the prettiest, most intelligent two weeks old baby ever! we love her so much! it's a shame she is in brazil and i can't hold her right now, but i'm working on that! :)
