a week at miguel's

hello there! it's been a few. i just came back from spending close to two weeks at miguel's. the stay was split in between by a quick visit to wendy (but a separate post on that later). i spent that time at miguel's to work on my thesis as it is quiet at his right now since all of his roommates are gone for break. i worked on my thesis basically, but it was nice just having him nearby : ) above are the russian chocolates i bought him for christmas. i got them because they were squirrels! he loves squirrels.
one night i took him out for ramen. it was so delicious. my favorite ramen house by far.

miguel played video games while i worked on my thesis. he really gets into his video games! haha. i started playing a little bit months ago, but i'm not very good.
we did most of our meals at home. only went out to get ramen & taco bell one other night.
i made some hashbrowns one morning & a lemon blueberry surprise with lemons from his backyard. i love his lemon tree!
& miguel made another batch of his homemade beef jerky! i love watching him make it even though i don't eat it. hehe.
my fourth chapter of my thesis is due this friday & i am quite behind in writing it. ergo i am really stressed about it. i'll be working on it all this coming week until the due date. eeek.

  1. You guys are too cute. I get the impression that you're a really good cook, maybe because you seem to do it so much! Good luck on your thesis!!!

  2. Sometimes its nice to just be with the one you love, quiet. I have the same problem with not being good at video games and my Mister enjoys them so much.

    Hope your thesis comes together for you with minimal stress.

    Xoxo

  5. You and Miguel make me so happy <3
    That sounds like a really lovely week, even though it was spent working. Mmmm. I haven't had a proper bowl of ramen in ages. I used to make it all the time.

    As for video games, I LOVE them, but I always get distracted by a book or something else and forget to finish playing them. I still haven't finished Kingdom Hearts 2, and it's been YEARS since that came out...

  7. Ramen is the best food for the cold weather!! That ramen looks so yummy!
    Alex loves his games too!
    Actually, he's waiting for me to fall asleep so he can go downstairs and play his PS3 but I took a nap so I'm gonna stay up for a while which means Alex is stuck with me for a while. :p
