Thoughts from Within...
a special dinner
Last week, we went to a special dinner to celebrate my seven (7) years here in the United States. Hubby brought me to a very nice local restaurant which was recommended by his workmate. The place is rustic and specializes on prime rib and steaks. As we were checking their menu, we were kind of surprise to see "restaurant equipment for sale" on the last page. We were like, "Oh!" Anyway, the food was so delicious; and the meats were cooked to perfection especially the Prime Rib. Yum! For sure, we will be going back there again. Have a good one all!
Christmas Tree is finally done!
After days of tweaking and refashioning, the Crompton's Christmas Tree for 2011 is finally and completely done; and here it is!
As you can see that I am favoring gold, silver and green this year. This is the first time that I am not using any red (my favorite color, by the way!) in my tree and I tell you, it was truly difficult for me not to put a red ornament on it. It felt like it wasn't right and just didn't come to my complete satisfaction. Not until today! I think I did a great job, right? Now, I can proceed decking the other rooms to my heart's content. Have a good one all!

My Dear Santa List...
We were visiting the local jewelry store at the mall the other day. We seen some new bracelet designs on a TV ad the other day and wanted to see what they were in person. Next to them in the display case was this beautiful diamond necklace. I bet they put it there on purpose. I guess I now have another thing to add to My Dear Santa list. I hope Santa is good to me this year.
ouchy back!
I came to realize how hard my husband's job can be so hard on his back. Some days he complains that his back hurts and then other days it is fine. Sometimes he worries it could affect how well he can do his job. I hope that someday he won't have so much problems with his back.
That would cause him to have a discectomy. I think I'll find out what exercises will help prevent such a problem and start him on them. It would be best to prevent it before it really becomes a problem. That's the last thing my husband needs is something that would affect his ability to do his job. Have a good one all!

My Christmas Tree for 2011
That is my Christmas Tree for 2011. It's actually not done yet. It is new for me not to see any red in it since this is the first time that I am favoring a modern look this year. It is all made of gold, silver and green. I am still looking for more ornaments to add in it. Hopefully, I can find them when we go to the store later. Yes, my day today will be all for finding cheap Christmas stuffs made of gold, silver and green. Have a good one all!
hubby's trip to Canada
My husband told me about a vacation road trip he took long before we met to Alberta, Canada. The trip began in Colorado during October of that particular year. It brought through Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Glacier National Park in Montana, and finally, Waterton National Park in Alberta, Canada.
Of course, I would want to go on this type of vacation one day. I would like to see the Prince Of Wales Hotel on the lakes in the park. I’d also like to visit Edmonton because I have friends that are supposed to be living there. I’ve heard through from my relatives that Edmonton is a wonderful place to live. Even my husband has bragged how nice it is there and how considerate the people are. I wonder how it would be to live there. I might just look at to Rent Edmonton for more information about that place and what the cost of living there would be.
Some day one of our vacations should be a trip like that. I’m always interested in new places and how it might be to live in them. Sometimes some places are best visited but I’m sure that there are places that you may visit that would catch your fancy as in a wonderful place to live to. Have a good one all!

Army Life
Thanks for the guest post by Kristofer Bartlett.
My husband is in the Army and we just got word that he will be stationed at Fort Campbell in Tennessee in a few months. I am not looking forward to another move, but I know I’ll be tasked with doing all of the research that goes into it. My husband works all the time, so I end up with all of the household responsibility. It is so hard to decide what neighborhood to live in when you are moving to a place you have never even heard of before. I have contacted a few people on post there and they have recommended that we live in Clarkesville. They say it is really nice and not too far away from Ft. Campbell. I started looking for a home for us and it looks promising. I also searched for direct tv clarksville and found some great deals. There is still a lot of work to be done but I’m starting to feel a little less stressed. Sometimes it only takes getting a few tings done to feel like you are making progress. I just need to make sure I stay organized and focused.
hey, what's up?
Hello All! I am back! I know I have been away for too long but I am here now. Please forgive me for not updating my blog. It's just that so much has happened lately. Well, I will try to tell you about them as we go day by day, okay? I hope all of you are in the best of everything.
I would like to say, thank you for always taking a peek here. May God bless us all. Have a good one all!

send him on a vacation?
My father-in-law will be retiring soon. I know that it is customary to give a retirement gift. I've always heard about the standard gifts that just seem too ordinary and predictable. What we really need is a customized retirement gift for him. I'm thinking something that would put into perspective all his hard years at work. Wouldn't it be great to help send him on a vacation to see the world. It is well deserved because he did work that hard all those years. Best wishes, Dad!
