Wishful Wednesday...

So alot of people in the blog world are doing these 'Wishful Wednesday' posts....so I thought I would join the band wagon and add 'Wishful Wednesdays' along with my 'Thankful Thursdays' to my blog....

Wishful Wednesdays are supposed to be something to get us through those lovely hump days.  It may be a wish, a hope, a dream, or an aspiration.  Some topics may be fun and playful and others more insightful. Either way, it will be something that I can share with all of you. And hopefully you all can share your wish with me as well.

Today, I wish...

that cancer did not exist. that the people in my life and people that I know were not affected by this disease. my father-in-law had prostate cancer, and he beat it. my grandmother had breast cancer, and she beat it. but, sadly not everyone beats cancer. and because of that, today I wish that people I know and love did not feel hurt, and pain, and such overwhelming sadness when they lose someone they love.

yesterday, a great woman passed. she battled cancer, with such grace. this woman was dan's boss's (big dave) mom. but she wasn't just big dave's mom, she was a part of the Greenly family. Dan has been a part of the Greenly family for so long, and we truely consider them a part of our family. while we didn't know Meme as well as others and weren't around her as much as them, we were still touched by her and by her courage and strength. what a strong woman to battle such a nasty thing as cancer is.  I can only hope to have that type of strength and grace in my lifetime. it was an honor to know Meme. we are truely blessed to be a part of her family, to know them and to have them all in our lives. in this time of sadness and grief, we can only hope to be there for you and to support and love you all.  In memory of Meme

Margaritas!!

Recently Dan and I went with our good friends Dustin and Katie to the new tequila lounge in The Fountains in Roseville called Tres Agaves. Food was ok, chips and salsa were good, margaritas were amazing! I must admit that I am typically not really a tequila kind of girl. While I do like margaritas, I would much rather have say a Strawberry Daiquiri or Mai Tai. Tequila just has this burning sensation when you drink it that just isn't that appealing to me. BUT, after going to this new tequila lounge the other night, I have a whole new appreciation for margaritas and tequila.

We ordered the basic house margarita, $24 a pitcher, which gave us each 1 margarita. At first I was kinda disappointed because they only had margaritas on the rocks and no flavors, I guess that's true to Mexico (or so our server told us) and then when it came the glass wasn't that big and it was barely full to the rim. I was alittle skeptical to say the least. But after one sip of that margarita....I became a fan! It was the best margarita I have ever had! Really strong, but in a good way. And it was so smooth. Needless to say I am now officially a fan of margaritas!!

So the point of this blog is...now that I've gotten into blogging, I've been checking out several blogs on the web about wedding stuff (one of my BF's is getting married next June), baby stuff, crafts, food, beverages, and more. And I was putt-putting around on this blog called Hostess with the mostess....and found these amazingly delicious looking margaritas and just had to share their yumminess with you all...and also my new love of MARGARITAS!!!
