Mmmm … Sushi + “Date Night”

April 11, 2010

I hit the gym this morning at 10 am! When my two hours were up, I got a text message from Laurie … “Girls are having too much fun, so go take a Jaime day!” For real? How could I say no to that? It isn’t often that I get a day without them! Now, don’t get me wrong … I LOVE our kiddos, but sometimes … mommy needs a break! :) I took her up on the offer, headed home from the gym, took a shower, and then asked Kari (Jayson’s cousin) what we should do for the rest this kid-free day! Hmm, dinner and a good movie — now that’s a treat!

This is Kari, by the way … isn’t she gorgeous?

Soo … I got on the computer and googled movie show times in the Fresno area. Kari suggested Date Night … showing: 6:45. Hmm … what to do till then? Satisfy our craving for sushi, of course! Kari and I have been craving sushi for months!!! MONTHS!!! So, what better time to head to a sushi bar than today?? With no kids!!!

I came across quite a few, but one stuck out … with an almost 5 star customer rating and RAVE reviews …

Oh Em Gee!!!

We were greeted immediately upon entering the restaurant & seated fairly quickly. The music was pretty good & it was an overall rad looking establishment! After getting our menus, we were clueless … what to get? After much debate, we decided on Philly Rolls (smoked salmon, cream cheese, and avocado) and Bulldog Rolls — which were HEAVEN! Mmmm … shrimp tempura, crab, avocado, cucumber, and unagi sauce … yummo! There was other stuff too, but I forgot … lol Just have a looksee –

Wow … they were just AMAZING! :) The service was awesome as well!!!

Anyhoo … after that, we swung by The Cheesecake Factory for dessert — Dutch Caramel Apple Streusel Cheesecake. Bliss.

Then … off to the movies …

DATE NIGHT — 6:45

I love, love, LOVE Tina & Steve!!! I’m a huge fan of The Office, and anything Tina does really!! Together … they are a riot!! Action + Comedy = Awesomeness!

The movie was hilarious! I honestly thought I was going to pee myself I was laughing so hard … LMAO the whole time! If only my hubby could have been here too! :( Boo.

I really don’t remember the last time I laughed that hard … well, wait … that’s every day! Rob + Rhy are quite hilarious themselves.

I’m going to leave you with the preview … then GO SEE IT!!! It’d make for a great date night movie!

PEACE & LOVE,

Jaime Hough

Happy Homecoming @ NAS Lemoore!!

April 10, 2010

Whew! It’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged … too long in fact! The girls and I got really sick a couple of weeks back, and were knocked on our butts for over a week! It was awful! Not soon after, I had the opportunity go out and shoot another homecoming — one of my favorite things in the world! Waiting is the hardest part! Waiting with wind, even harder! Kids are wound up, they want to go home, news crews are every direction you look, and photographers are not in short supply. It’s chaos, at the very least.

It seems like an eternity waiting for that one moment … you know, the one where everyone looks around at the sound of of jets … we hear them first … and then watching them roar through the sky, there’s a sense of calm and excitement all at once — home at last! I can’t even begin to describe the feeling that comes over me, watching the faces of the families who are aching to see their loved ones — it makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time. I love, love, LOVE, being a part of this!

Ok, enough of my rambling … have a looksee at the adorable family I was out there with …
