I got lucky enough to celebrate my 26th birthday all weekend long. Saturday was my actual birthday and we went to lunch with J’s family at a local Mexican restaurant. We also celebrated J’s brother’s birthday since his is a few days after mine. Ben went home with his grandparents so J and I celebrated that night at our favorite steak place and then grabbed drinks with some friends after. J got me this Cannon Powershot and it’s very similar to our big Cannon DSLR camera, but small enough it fits in my pocket. On Sunday we went to dinner with my parents, sister, and her family and we also…

Life Update
Wondering why I haven’t posted much lately? Work has been crazy and I’ve been trying to stay afloat, but I promise to post more often. In more exciting news, our town has a local version of Groupon and we got this pizza for $2! Too bad it wasn’t as delicious as it looked. Thursday night the weather was gorgeous and we enjoyed a picnic dinner at the park. How cool is this picnic shelter? Our weekend was spent eating our weight in pizza, organizing the house and watching these 3 movies. No Strings Attached and Horrible Bosses was good, but save yourself some time and skip How Do You Know.…

It’s no secret that I don’t love running and the last time I trained for one of these bad boys J and I came down with the worst flu and my parents had to convince…

Weekend Recap
Oh weekend, how quickly you leave us. Despite lots of relaxing, I still managed to get a handful of things done around the house. My weekend started on Friday when my niece and I went to Six Flags for the day. Friday night ended with a literal bang when I dropped my phone and cracked the screen. Saturday we woke up bright and early and I pulled up weeds from our “flower” bed which is more like a “half alive bush bed.” Even in the 105 degree weather and no rain, weeds continue to grow. It’s mother nature’s little kick in the arse. J mowed the law before it got…

Weekend Recap
Friday night J and I got to steal some time away and go to dinner and a movie with our friends. It was their turn to pick the flick and they chose a great one. I hadn’t seen previews for Super 8 and went in not knowing what to expect. The kids in the movie were awesome and I liked that it wasn’t your typical sci-fi alien film. I had to work for a few hours on Saturday morning at an art for autism event where children with autism and their siblings create all different kinds of artwork which are auctioned off at a gallery later in the year. I…
