I don't remember the last time I bragged on my husband (or my marriage) so here goes!
I have been so overwhelmed with how much I truly love Jesse lately, I just want to write about it. I'm sure it will just be rambles but oh well!
Ever have a moment where you're just with someone and you think "I couldn't love this person more if I tried"? Me too. But then I do. I love him more and more and more every day. Nothing major has to happen. Nothing life changing. Just every day things. Little things. So many little things.
When he laughs at something outrageous that I say. When he takes my dirty cup to the sink just because he's heading that way. Helping my Dad or Mom. Working extra shifts and bringing in more income for our family. Covering me with a blanket. Petting Moose and then calling her Cheeseburger because she's putting on a little weight. Letting me pick what we watch. Teasing me about Tom Brady getting beat by the Panthers (yes, I admit, I'm a Tom Brady fan). Helping me get the tool box off the top shelf of the closet. Checking to make sure the steak fingers we ate weren't too crunchy for my sore, now wisdom toothless mouth. Making up little songs and singing them like he just signed a multimillion dollar contract. Telling me I'm the best cook when our meal was literally frozen chicken nuggets, mac and cheese and mashed potatoes -- just because he likes to mix it all together. The way he mixes all of his food together. My new favorite, when he makes sure to be touching me when we sleep. An arm around me, holding my hand, feet crossed. Yes, even when we're sound asleep, I fall more and more in love with him!
It's so strange to me how so many little things can make my heart so full. And I totally, 100% realize how silly I sound that such odd things make my heart skip a beat but seriously, who wouldn't love a man who takes notice that I put new fall decor in our home and says he really likes it?!
I am so incredibly blessed to have such an awesome husband and such a loving marriage. He makes me feel more loved than I ever thought possible. He makes me laugh. He makes me feel safe. He is quite literally the best friend a person could ask for.
This is the kind of marriage I hope we can sustain. I want our future children to see the love we have for one another and long for it themselves. I know we are probably going to experience rough times and we won't always get along so well but I hope that when we forget, the little things will remind us. I hope that we never lose what we have right now! Because right now, I couldn't be more in love... or could I?! ;)

Niece #3
Jason and Cathy announced today that they are expecting a girl!! We're getting another niece!
Very excited to have another little one to spoil. Still awaiting a name announcement :)
Goodbye Wisdom Teeth!
I had my wisdom teeth removed Wednesday!
I had been to the dentist back in October and they recommended I have them taken out because they were impacted and would eventually cause problems. Also, turns out, I only had three. Two top ones and a bottom left one. The lady who did my pano x-ray said she has seen up to 8!
Anyway, I had never been under anesthesia before so I was kind of nervous. Jesse took me to my appointment and they lead us back to the room. The assistant went over all of the home care with us. For whatever reason, I told her I wanted my teeth back (I'm odd, I know). When the oral surgeon came in, he started looking for veins. I had to break the news that I was a hard stick. Lucky me, the guy used to do sticks for cancer patients (who have really terrible veins due to the chemo drugs) so he got it on the first try and I hardly even felt it.
He had started me on gas to try and raise some veins. I told him I didn't think it was working because I didn't feel any different. He said it could take a few minutes but after the stick he started the anesthesia right away. He told me the first would make my pelvic area itch... and it did! Then he administered the next drug and said it would make me drowsy. All the while I'm sitting there thinking, I feel no different (other then then itching). That's about all I remember. Jesse said I informed them all the that everything in the room was spinning and then he was escorted out to the waiting room.
When I came to, I was crying. I kept asking why and the assistant just told me the anesthesia makes people very emotional. I guess I was awake enough (and upset) so they brought Jesse back. Once I composed myself, I asked to see my teeth. I was a little upset that she only handed me a baggie with two teeth. She informed me that the third had to be broken into pieces and was in the trash. I also told her I wanted to go home and see a Moose haha Jesse told her that's our cat. After I was awake enough to make it to a wheel chair, we started out to the car. As we were headed out, we passed a long line of sticker rolls. Of course I pointed them out and of course we stopped so I could pick some lol I gave them a good once over and the assistant told me what they all were. I ended up picking a teal one because "it's close to green and green is my favorite color." Then I looked again and took a second Angry Birds Christmas sticker. Classy. As I was sticker hunting, I heard Michael Buble on the radio. I mentioned it and the receptionist asked what I had said. I replied, "I love Buble! He's the only man I'd ever leave my husband for." Yes, I really did say that.
I thanked the assistant for her help getting into the car and off we went. We had to stop at HEB for my prescriptions and I insisted on going inside. I'm sure I scared a few people.
I actually do not feel too bad. I have heard horror stories but so far, I'm just pretty sore and only on one side. I've only had to take one pain killer. It's a little uncomfortable since my jaw is sore and I can't open it all the way but nothing I can't live with.
I am so thankful to have such a wonderful family. My dear sweet husband spent much of his day off at the dentist with me and then waiting on me at home. He is the best (and most handsome) nurse. My dad also offered to take me to my appointment and drive me home and take care of me despite the fact that he had chemo this week and started a new drug. My mom offered her dental expertise and has checked on me several times a day since my surgery. It is nice to have so many people to count on.
Who knew a wisdom tooth extraction story could be so lengthy, eh?

Jason & Cathy Tied the Knot!
What a weekend! My brother in law, Jason, got married! Him and Cathy
tied the knot on Mt Bonnell in Austin. Everyone met on the mountain and
they had a beautiful ceremony overlooking Austin. Then everyone headed
over to Dave and Busters for a reception!
Of course we loved it that our out of state family flew in. We got to see Jesse's Dad and Stepmom which is always a nice (and far too rare) treat. We saw the rest of the Hanrahan clan too.
CONGRATS YOU TWO!

Halloween Happenings
I will sit down and blog. I will sit down and blog. I will sit down and blog.
I have been meaning to post about our end of October happenings for a week now! We just celebrated our first Halloween as a married couple :) I am really looking forward to all of the Fall and Winter holidays this year as we get to start our own traditions!
A couple of weekends ago, we ventured to the pumpkin patch with Mom and Dad. We picked out some good ones and carved them up!
I chose to carve a cat (in honor of our fur ball of course) and Jesse just did what he does best, make some obscure pattern lol
Let me break it down (although it's super simple!)
Mummy Hot Dogs: I just bought hotdogs and grands flaky biscuits. Wrap the hotdogs in the biscuits but not quite perfectly (like a mummy!) At the top, I left a little larger space so I could add mustard eyes after they were cooked. Just pop them in the over according to the biscuit package.
Spider Deviled Eggs: I wish I had a recipe for you but I used my Mom's and it's a lot of "squirt or this, squirt of that..." I used yolk from hard boiled eggs, mustard, sweet relish, and mayo. Mixed it all together. Then filled the eggs that I had boiled and cleaned out with the mix. I took olives and cut them in half for the spider bodies. For the legs, I just thinly sliced and diced some olives.
Mummy pizzas: I bought a pre made pizza crust, pre made sauce, pepperonis, and cheese. I cut circles out of the pizza crust. Then I slathered on some sauce to each one. I put pepperonis on next then covered them with cheese. Again, not too perfectly, wanted to get a mummy effect. Then I popped on two sliced olive pieces for eyes. Put those bad boys in the oven until the cheese melts and the crust gets just a little crispy.
I used the jars Mom and I made as a little table decor to finish off the Halloween dinner theme. It was a delicious, spooky meal and helped make the holiday!
In other news, we had ZERO trick or treaters. Zero. But Moose enjoyed the candy wrappers!

Halloween day was a little bit of a downer. For some unknown reason, everyone at work had their panties in a bunch and everyone was all bent out of shape. They wanted to do something, they didn't want to do something. This department but not that one. It was NUTS! So, when I got home, I decided to try and bring some fun back to the day. I looked up some fun food recipes (thanks Pinterest!) and headed to the store. Since I get home 3 hours before Jesse after work, I had plenty of time to surprise him. When he got home dinner was just about ready and I made him wait in the bedroom until I was finished. It was fun for me to surprise him (I so rarely pull it off without giving it away.... side note: I did sorta ask "You like deviled eggs right?" when he got home lol) and it was also fun for him to be surprised.
So for dinner we had: Mummy hot dogs, Spider deviled eggs, and Mummy pizzas :)
