Hawaii bound!

I'm so excited to FINALLY use my benefits to go back to Hawaii this Wednesday! I'm so grateful for my leads for giving me time off also, so we'll be going on Wednesday and probably stay until Monday (as long as flights look good).  We haven't been back to Hawaii since May (right before I started working at Delta).  So it'll be awesome to have some time to go back, eat, and relax!  Anyhow, this was my first full week at Delta as a Ready Reserve Agent, and it was sooo nice.  It's like as soon as I get to work, it's finish! so yayyy for days like that! I'll be going to gate training in about 2 weeks, so good thing I get at least one trip in before I go into training again.  Oh, and did I mention I finally got my uniform last week. Hallelujah! Because trying to "substitute" with my own white shirt and black pants was not happening, that just screams "seasonal" to everyone, so it's nice to LOOK part of the team. lol.

Last week Thursday was my birthday, the big 2-5!  Fehi surprised me on the morning of my birthday with a dozen yellow roses (he always get's me roses for an occassion.. birthday, anniversary, apology ;) lol ) and he also brought us back some breakfast and a brownie icecream cake, which were both yummy as well.  He asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday, and I just said "I don't know." It's funny because usually I already have plans for my birthday, and it normally consists of a mani and pedi, shopping, and dinner.  But this year I didn't have much plans except that I wanted to paint our room.  Since moving into our own place, all we've been doing most times with our days off is painting or fixing up the house.  So far our greatest project was our Laundry Room.  Anyhow, so the night before my birthday I stayed up and painted our room.  It was a dark brown color, so I really didn't like how it looked, and on top of that when I don't like how our room looks, well it doesn't translate well into wanting to stay there or keep it clean.  So that was my project I wanted to finish.  I never took a before picture, but this is a picture of part of our room.

It's brown, and the doors and trimming were some peachy color

 And here's the after picture after I painted the walls and the trimmings...

I forget what the color is called, but it's  a nice cool color, a a soft greenish blue.. more on the green side I think lol

Here's one with the bed in place and fixed, I also replaced the blinds with these nicer wood ones.

So after painting the room, I told Fehi that I wanted to just go a look for a nice bed set, a nice cream colored one.  Our bed set we have now (in the picture) is ok, but I don't think it matches the wall color too much.  Anyhow, we went and looked at Ross, nothing there, at Bed, Bath, and Beyond we found one but for $180, that was just wayyyy out of our budget lol.  Went to walmart, and sears and NOTHING.  So therefore I'm stuck using our bed set, (for now) ;) lol.  Anywayz, since looking for a new bedset wasn't going well, we ended up going to TGIF and getting some dinner.  We had the jack daniel's sampler and potato skins for an appetizer (yummmy!)  The sampler has crispy cajun shrimp, asian inspired sesame jack-chicken strips, and baby back pork ribs. (Pictured below)

Then I ordered the petite steak and salmon with mash potatoes and broccoli. My birthday dinner was awesome. I was soo full that I had no room for dessert, so we just went home and relaxed.  So birthday was awesome, I wouldn't have changed anything about that day.  Anyhow, I'll be off from work for a little over a week, so it's time to get this house cleaned so that when we leave to Hawaii and come back, the house will be spotless and I won't have to clean a thing! lol

Until next time! :)
