It’s basically just a play byContinue reading “A Christmas Day in the Life”

Who else is SO READY for Christmas?? As soon as we got home from our trip, we unpacked our bags, cleaned the house, and put up Christmas decorations. Alright, not immediately.. but it all did happen within 24 hours of being at home. 🙂 #sorrynick We already recapped the beginning of our trip, but IContinue reading “A Texas Thanksgiving”

Welcome back to my little piece of the internet. I am indeed still alive. It’s just been a crazy couple of months, but I’m glad to be back. Especially for the holidays! Since I’ve been here last, we have done MANY things. I think I need to accept that I should quit saying ‘it’s aContinue reading “A Road Trip & Reunion: Oh My!”

I was never aware of the exact percentages of each ethnicity represented, but I know that it was pretty diverse between White, Black, Hispanic,Continue reading “I Will Not Be Silent”

Newsflash: Texas is HOT in July. Like the surface of the sun hot. And I’m pretty sure that I am the only one in the world that plans an annual trip there IN JULY. You may think it’s because I’m insane (and maybe I am a bit) but it’s actually because that’s when Nick goesContinue reading “The Annual July Texas Trip Extravaganza: The Houston Edition”

THING. so today I thought I would bring it to you in a hot random recap kind of mess.

For the 4th of July this year, our little family of three along with Nick’s mom and sister piled up in our car and headed for the mountains.
