Two Weeks Too Short

**After you go through this entry, you'll understand why it took me forever to put up..
PICTURE-HEAVY INDEED!

If you have been following my blog, you probably know that my boyfriend got deployed and was sent to Texas about 2 months ago.

My friend invited me to his Aunt's house for NYE where all of our friends are going to be at..I wasn't going to go at all because i was sick as fuck..But then i ended up going since my friends were so persuasive..

I didn't know that it was because..

My man came home and planned to surprise me there..





Tears of Joy.

**When you're man's in the military, you're never sure when you're going to see him again, I was just thankful that he was here**

The whole crew


On New Year's day itself, which is also our anniversary, we ate at Cheesecake Factory..




with a third wheel..ehh..i'm kidding..
He's lived here all his life but this was his first time eating there..


For starters we had, TexMex spring rolls


I had Shrimp Bistro, a Cheesecake Factory staple for me..

i only had a couple of bites since i was still sick..

My boyfriend, *his name's Rocky btw* had Chicken Marsala


Our friend, Neil, had Ahi Tuna


We were cam-whoring like tourists..lol


The next "few" pictures are in no particular order..I smoke, i forget easily..haha

Here in AZ, things to do are very limited..

1. Shopping

At the parking lot of the mall..





a lil too hoochie for the bf, I still went and bought it anyway..haven't worn it yet though, it's too cold..


with my mom, my aunt and my cousin visiting from AU..




This is my cousin, and this is his first burrito ever..lol..


yea, we also had family here from Cali and Australia visiting..
this is my Aunt from Cali..she's almost 50 but looks like she's in her 30, her body's bangin' too..i envy you Tita!

she was trying on my Lola's (grandma) wig..haha..

I was happy that I was able to spend time with both my family and Rocky, they used to not get along til his visit..
