This morning we found this huge guitar near our hotel. After we checked out of the hotel we headed out to Lake Travis. We rented a boat and spend the next 4 hours in the blazing hot sun. The high temperature for Austin today is suppose to be 102!!! You can see me taking this picture [...]
Today Amanda, Stephanie, JP & I all headed up to Austin to celebrate JP’s birthday. We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel on 7th & Congress. The first thing we did after we checked in was have dinner at The Roaring Fork. Even the waiter knew it was JP’s birthday weekend because after dinner they brought him birthday dessert! No [...]
JP’s birthday weekend started today! For the first night of his birthday weekend he had the northern version of chili relleno (Yes Cathy & Louis I called it chili relleno) for dinner. Then we all went out for a swim and surprised him with a birthday cake. His absolute favorite German Chocolate. His actual birthday is Sunday so [...]
Our house is slowly getting put together. I am excited to post pictures of the house but I am holding off until more of our stuff makes it into their correct places (boxes of stuff, furniture, etc). For now let’s talk about electricity. Did you know that JP has a degree in Electrical Engineering? This [...]
Today was moving day. Again a HUGE thanks to Amanda & J9 for directing the movers while JP and I were at work. The movers worked from 10am until 10pm!! Amanda texted me this picture around 10am.
I have never denied that my car has pretty much no room for much else but the drive and the passenger. Today I totally impressed myself by hauling something I didn’t think was possible. I went to Uhaul and told the guy behind the counter that I needed some moving boxes and packing paper. I [...]
Today we started a new season of Half-Nutz softball! We won the game 12-9! Jan shaved the team name into his hair… how could I NOT post this?
Today was the last time we will whoop it up together in the old house. Here is a picture of J9, Amanda and I whoopin it up after days of slavery as far as the move goes. I truly love these girls!
The first load of stuff made it over to the new house today. Big thanks to Amanda, J9 and Lily who spent all day packing stuff up! At the new house Lily was outside in the backyard when we heard her start crying. She said she stepped on a wasp! No one actually saw said [...]
We have a guest in our picture today! This is Iris. I have asked Iris a few times if she would be my picture of the day. Every single time she says “oh yeah where is your camera?”. Like I said… Here is Iris!!
You can always tell that either Amanda or Stephanie are in town when we have to make a visit to one of these places. This time my lucky guest is Amanda. She was trying to cut an avacado when she accidently did this instead. Being a good sport I drove down to Walgreens and bought a bunch [...]
This morning I woke up with a runny nose. 1,000+ sneezes and lots of tissue later it’s still here. Allergies or cold? I’m not sure but now my nose skin is sore!
We have been hearing the cicada for a few months now. I remember the first time JP heard them he was like “What the heck is that sound?”. They are so loud and I am convinced that like a million of them live in the trees in our backyard. Today when we headed outside to [...]
Today Lily, J9 and I went golfing. Ok ok we went miniature golfing. Here is Lily about to tee off. Check out hole #9. I put the red arrow in so you can see where you want to shot the ball. If you it just right it will go into hole and down a shoot and [...]
I played softball again today! I only stayed for one of the two games so that I could get home and GSD! Go Furies!
When we got our iPhones a couple months ago we also bought the protective cases that they were selling in the store. I have made no secret of the fact that I am very good and breaking phones. Today I accidentally tested my protective case. I was walking down the steps at work and the [...]
I believe that I have said it before but I will say it again. I ♥ hotels. I really really like staying in them. Since Austin is about an hour and a half drive from home I decided to come see JP again today after work. Here I am chillin’ in our room at The [...]
JP is working in Austin, TX this week so today after work I went to visit him. All these cops and none of them wanted to arrest me!
This is quite perfectly the best family picture that we have. Who would have know that when we get wet we have super powers? We get super powers. We can lift two times our weight. And something about JP makes us completely happy!!
Today I played 2 softball games with a team named “I’d Hit It”. They had a girl player who couldn’t make it so I filled in for her. You might recognize three other people in the photo. Cathy is in there and so is Mario and Barbara from kickball. This picture was taken right before [...]
Lily loves to draw. She has always loved to draw and in the last year or so she has learned that she likes to write as well. I can’t decide what I like better her drawings or her notes to me. Sometimes I wonder what she thinks about when I am not around. Today I [...]
I have had my car for a few weeks now and I love it. Sure there isn’t really any trunk room and I can only have one passenger at a time but I still love it! Its been pretty wet around here over the last week or so. No major rains just scattered showers and [...]
For the last few months I have been on the search for the perfect pair of jeans. I have always been a of 7 For All Mankind kinda girl but I figured I would try to branch out. A couple months ago I bought a pair of Joe Jeans that I love but they didn’t quite [...]
13 days, 18 hours & 27 minutes from when I posted this Amanda will be landing in San Antonio. It is no secret that she is my bff. If I am doing my math right this will be her 6th time coming to see me since I moved to San Antonio. I met Amanda about 13 [...]
I learned awhile ago that GPS was my friend. When I first moved here I used GPS to get all over San Antonio. After I got my iPhone I started using the GPS on that a lot. Anytime JP and me went anywhere that we had not been before I would google the place and plug [...]
Happy 4th of July everyone! For the first time in two years it was ok to light your own personal fireworks in the greater San Antonio area… sorta. You have to be outside of city limits. We drove out to BOOM Fireworks and bought some so that we could join in the fun! Here is the [...]
Thanks to the hurricane we canceled our beach plans for the weekend. Yesterday I got a little water bug in my head and decided that rain or shine we were going to be wet. I reserved a boat on Canyon Lake which is about an hour north of San Antonio. Here is a picture of J9, [...]
Today in true domestic godess style I stepped out of my cooking comfort zone. I made Chicken Fettichini Alfredo for the first time ever. It turned out pretty good and I think I will make it again sometime. One thing that I always have a lot of trouble with this noodles. I always make either way too [...]
Since I didn’t take a picture of anything today I decided to post some old ones. Here is my mother and I at a polish festival. I won a prize for being the youngest one there. I am guessing I am about 5 or so in this picture. Happy Birthday to me! I am thinking this [...]
