JP is out of town all week spending his time in Portland, San Francisco and St. Louis. Earlier today he was a keynote speaker at the Cloudcon Expo in San Francisco. After he was done he told me that he found these two pictures that other people posted of him on Twitter. I would love [...]
Today JP and I had our first Sunday in a long long time where we were able to hang out at home alone and had nowhere to be. And that is exactly what we did… nothing! We did so much nothing that we don’t even have pictures of it… except this one.
We had an exciting day today. The first thing that was cool is that I discovered a new cheese. Next time your wanting something new try Heini’s Greek Yogurt Cheese. Next we headed to La Cantera to look at winter coats. Why winter coats? Because I want something more stylish for my next trip to [...]
For a while now Lily has asked us to put up a swing in the yard for her to play on. This past weekend we were at Lowe’s buying a few things and she asked again so JP bought her one. I knew as soon as we bought that thing that the hardest part would [...]
Today is JP’s birthday! I have heard that your personality develops by the age of 5… here are some pictures to prove that JP hasn’t changed much.
I have always been a fan of vodka martinis. I like drinking out of the martini glasses, the vodka and the olives. If I order one in a restaurant I always ask for it slightly dirty. Any time I have one at home I always have JP make it because he seems to make the [...]
I skipped out of blogging for the last few days but now I am back! I have a really good reason for being gone so long… actually I have 3 of them. JP had to be up in Austin for the SXSW festival and I went to join him I didn’t bring my camera (all [...]
JP left this week for a couple days to go to Houston, TX. On Tuesday when we picked him up at the airport instead of wearing costumes we made signs. This picture is a couple days old but it still makes me smile! JP We Missed You!
We had a big day yesterday so today we slept in. Then it just kinda spiraled out of control and we ended up doing nothing. If we do it sometimes when we are home why can’t we do it when we are on vacation… we literally stayed in bed all day. I love days like [...]
As you know JP has been traveling a lot lately. Sometimes I am lucky enough to join him on his travels but the times that I’m not it makes for a long week. We use to pick him up at the curb at arrivals, but lately we have been walking inside to wait for him. Parking is [...]
JP and Lily took me out for my birthday dinner to Chama Gaucha. Chama Gaucha is our ultimate favorite Brazilian Steakhouse! Sooo good! Can you believe we didn’t bring a camera with us? All of the pictures in the restaurant were taken with my iPhone. Lily say CHEESE. Posing with one of the meat guys. [...]
I have posted a ton of pictures taken out by the pool on this website. I have talked about the pool, the funiture and the ridiculous amounts of fun we have had out there. I have also said time and time again that there is no other pool I would rather hang out at. I [...]
Today we finally had a chance to have JP open his birthday cards and present. We were all really excited! Me and JP have made jokes about having a “pool rules” sign out by the pool for a long time. I found a sign company and had it made. Don’t you love these rules? This [...]
Today is JP’s birthday! Do you remember what we got him for his birthday last year? We got him the neon sign that hangs in the tiki room. Seems like it should be pretty hard to top that, huh? Since we are out of town Lily and I are unable to give him his birthday [...]
It is no secret that the Mariner’s are having about as good of a season as Seattle is a summer. But regardless of that how could a trip to Seattle be complete without a baseball game? Here are 4 of the 13 tickets that got my group into tonights game.! Even JP’s parents Marlene and Bob joined [...]
Every once in awhile something happens. I can’t really explain it. And I don’t usually know that it is happening. Then the sun sets and as I lay snug in my bed a thought occurs to me. I DIDN’T TAKE A PICTURE OF ANYTHING TODAY! In my head I recapped my day and I totally did things [...]
I’m pretty sure that I have told you guys this before but I am gonna say it again - I totally think JP is the smartest person I know. He knows a lotta stuff about a lotta stuff. I am always asking him questions and in turn I am constantly learning from him. If you have [...]
JP has been out in California all week for work. Do you remember what I did back on October 18th? If you have been reading this website for awhile you know that I have done this more than a few times. I have never worn the same costume twice so in order to keep up the tradition [...]
Yesterday we took Stephanie and David to the airport and they headed back to Seattle. Amanda has decided to stay a little longer and spend some time making decisions. I haven’t taken many pictures in the last two days but when I looked back at the photos from this weekend I realize just how much I [...]
I pulled this from wikipedia. Fiesta is an annual 10-day city-wide festival held in April to honor the memory of the heroes of the Battle of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. Over 100 events take place during the anniversary of Texas’ independence from Mexico. The festival’s beginnings date back to 1891 when [...]
We leave for vacation early tomorrow morning so today was packing day. Here is my bed with lots of mine and Lily’s clean clothing on it. Someone is very excited to be packing! Lily thought if she tried hard enough she could squish it all down. All done!
Today when we got home from work/school JP was already there. He had already started dinner and was out working on the pool. Not to shabby, eh? It took maybe 5 minutes for Lily’s friend Cameron to show up. As soon as they walked out in the backyard I handed them brooms and put them [...]
JP: Do you know what tomorrow is? Me: Saturday JP: Yes, but what is happens tomorrow? Me: Sunny Saturday? JP: UUGGHHhhh Me: What am I forgetting? JP: Tomorrow is the 3 year anniversary of the day we met. This my friends is one of the many million reasons I love this man!
Today was a fairly uneventful day. I didn’t take a single picture of anything. Then around 8:00pm I was standing in the kitchen talking to JP when all of the sudden it hit me. It was like seeing a Jackalope in the grass… are you ladies sitting down? JP IS HANGING LAUNDRY! I know.. I know, [...]
This morning when we woke up I promised Lily that when it stopped raining we could go down to the rodeo grounds and see the animals, eat the food, and ride the rides. It was already like 1pm and we were waiting for the rain to stop… but it was still coming down. So around [...]
Yesterday was MLK Day and today was Daisy Day! I totally planned on sleeping in a little bit today to enjoy my last day off of work for awhile… but… yep, you guessed it I was awake already. Around 8am JP brought me a cup of coffee in bed and a bagel as I was [...]
Me and JP headed down to Fatso’s Sports Garden to watch the Seattle Seahawks vrs Chicago Bears game today. Although its kinda far from our house we chose Fatso’s because that is where the passionate fans hang out. When we walked into the bar the entire bar… literally THE ENTIRE BAR started hooting and hollering [...]
As we all know the Seattle Seahawks pulled off a major upset and defeated last years Super Bowl Champs the New Orleans Saints! Our friend Jared in Michigan is a huge Saints fan and this is what he has to say about the game. The next game up was the Indianapolis Colts vrs New York [...]
JP has taught me a lot of things over the past few years. One of the most valuable things I have learned from him is about saving pictures. As you guys know I take pictures every single day. And pretty much every single day I upload them to my computer and then shoot them up [...]
I am sitting in the living room waiting patiently as JP hooks up some of the electronic stuff. I am hungry and thinking about putting the tamales in the steamer. Last year we decided our Christmas Eve tradition would be to eat mexican tamales for dinner on Christmas Eve. Here I am sitting in the big [...]
I had the day off of work today so I had a little more time to prepare dinner than usual. We had another beautiful 75°+ day so I decided BBQ is the way to for todays dinner. At the grocery store today I bought a new marinade that the chef recommended. The HEB that we shop at [...]
This morning we woke up in Ann Arbor, MI which is the home of the University of Michigan. We stayed at Weber’s I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone staying in this area. Everything about it was awesome. The day before was so busy with the baptism and all that all three of us [...]
I know that I am at one of the happiest points in my life and it is only getting better. I know that I have a few very good friends what I would do anything for and vice versa. I know that I am in love with Mr. Wonderful! I know that we are going on vacation [...]
We decided it was the perfect afternoon to go bowling. I haven’t taken Lily bowling in a very very long time. Last time I took her she could barely even pick up the ball much less be able to throw it down the lane. This time was much better. First things first though we had [...]
For a special Halloween dinner Lily aka: Dorothy, JP aka: Cowboy and Me aka: Robin, all dressed up and went to the Chart House restaurant at the top of the Tower of the Americas for dinner. Before you get on the elevator they take a picture of you in front of a green screen. We bought the picture and as [...]
For JP’s birthday this year I had a neon sign made for him. Today we finally had time to put it up. This is what it looks like after the lights go out. Welcome to JP’s!
I bought Philosophy body wash a couple months ago because I love how the Senorita Margarita smells. Now I can’t imagine not using it. I promised Lily we can go smell all of the Philosophy products and she can fall in love with one too. I also love my new curling iron. I have always [...]
Today is JP’s actual birthday! For his birthday present I had a custom neon sign made for him. It goes along with the tiki theme in the tiki room. Unfortunately the actual sign itself wont be delievered until Tuesday so I can’t post a picture yet.
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 [...]
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!!
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 me and JP wanted to get away so we went to our local hang out. We played darts and for the first time in his life he hit a dead center bulls eye! I was soooooo impressed! I have never seen this before in my life, even though I played in the WA state [...]
I was in the drive-thru at Starbucks today and it got me thinking. Most of you are probably wondering what BofC is? A few of you already know but I am going to tell you again. When I first starting seeing JP he would send me a picture of his coffee cup every morning. Seem [...]
We had to go get JP’s truck from the airport parking today. This is a picture I took to let him know we did it! And he took this picture while he was on his layover today… Vegas Baby!!
After spending a ton of time at the beach we decided we were hungry. I suggested we go to dinner at one of the restaurants down by the dwarf. JP had no idea what I was talking about….. its a wharf.. not a dwarf! I don’t think I will ever live that one down. JP, [...]
