So Much LOVE

This morning, Robby's alarm went off at six o'clock in the morning. SIX o'clock! We usually wake up at eight. I remember grumbling irritably and him telling me to go back to sleep. I guess I wasn't too hard to convince because next thing I know, I was waking up to a delicious Portuguese sausage and egg breakfast. Came with flowers and a balloon too! That's not all. My beautiful friend Stephanie sent me a box of custom designed chocolates too! I am too lucky. 

How adorable are these?!?! Thanks Stephy! Love you!

 As soon as Robby left for work, I got to work on these treats. They were so fun to make and they turned out looking pretty decent!

I love you sweetie. You make me so happy every single day.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

The Start of a Modeling Career

No. Not really.

BUT! Robby got a really cool experience the other day. After church last Sunday, a man in front of us turns around and said, "I saw you (Robby) walking in and thought you look like a missionary." We were a little confused. He went on to say that he works for the Church up in Salt Lake and is currently working on creating a new, more updated version of the missionary handbook. He was looking for Asians/Polynesians to be in the handbook, so he asked if Robby would be interested in coming in for a photoshoot. Robby was really skeptical and about to decline until the guy mentioned that Robby would be getting paid to do the shoot. Heck yes.

Since we would be driving up to Salt Lake, we used this opportunity to eat out at Mo' Bettah Steaks!

He said it was awkward, but he looked so natural! Haha! I'm disappointed that I didn't catch any pictures of him in his casual jeans and shirt.

 BAM. My husband is a model.

Dining In

Wow it's been a while! Almost forgot we have a blog. Last week, we were busy...grocery shopping and cooking. With all the eating out during the Christmas/New Year holiday, we were becoming extremely spoiled and it sort of became a habit. It was very much appreciated while it lasted. At one point in January we were eating out 4 or 5 times a week. Yeah, our wallet naturally could not handle it anymore, so we decided to make some changes. With a little help from pinterest, here's what we ate for dinner last week:

Sunday: Batayaki

Monday: We can't be perfect okay! We ate out on Monday.
Tuesday: Mushroom Soup & Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

 Wednesday: Baked Salmon

Thursday: Seasoned T-Bone Steak with...Bok Choy?!?!

 Friday: Yakisoba

I'd say we did pretty good, wouldn't you? Let's just see how long this'll last...

We are going to...

...after I graduate and before real life kicks in. Tickets are bought and we're just counting down now. Please, please PLEASE! let us know if there is anything we have to see or anywhere we have to go in these places.

We are BEYOND excited!

又吃牛肉麵

 Last Sunday, we made beef noodle soup for the fam. There was enough to feed an army.

 

Mia made haupia and chocolate pudding for dessert. Maiz LOVED it.

 It seemed like everyone enjoyed it!

Market Street Grill

 Robby took me on a date to Market Street Grill in South Jordan a few weekends ago after a really nice and uplifting temple session. He told me that this was one of the restaurants he was thinking about taking me to the night he proposed. The seafood was to die for. Couldn't believe how fresh the seafood was.

Fried East Coast Calamari

 Half Pound Jumbo Shrimp Platter

Clam Chowder & my Fresh Hawaiian Ahi Tuna, pepper seared, soy ginger sauce

 

Robby's Roast Prime Rib

 

Fried Sea Scallops

 Still the best ice cream of all: Haagen Dazs Strawberry ice cream

 Raspberry Almond Cake

Try this place the next time you get a chance. It's GOOD.
