working on that work / life balance

20120429-215038.jpg

I mentally prepared myself all week to pass the weekend in a state of slight panic and under major stress trying to finish up the semester, but I was pleasantly surprised on Friday when I found myself 2 pages ahead of schedule on my final paper for one of my classes. SO, to celebrate minor […]

4:00-6:00

Who else besides me divides the hours of weekdays into favorite / least favorite times of day? I can’t be the only one right? On the average day, when nothing extraordinary is going on, my favorite / least favorite hours of the day go like this: Quien mas aparte de mi divide las horas de […]

Can I play the banjo?

As you might have figured out by now, Leslie comes from a VERY musical family. She loves music and loves to perform and sing out loud…so much so that I always joke with her that she doesn’t pay attention to me because she’s singing. Except it’s not really a joke. When she’s singing and not […]

Are you a regular?

20120422-140612.jpg

There are only a few restaurants that truly treat regulars as regulars. Usually the term “regular” is used as a way to make the place more inviting and to encourage you to come back. So far we only know of one place that claims to ONLY accept regulars. You might wonder…no way! Which place doesn’t […]

We are so hip!

So…I know earlier this week I said I’m not a shoe guy, and I stand by that statement. BUT – for the longest time we have talked about getting some TOMS shoes and finally we decided that we should just go get a pair instead of talking about it…so we did!It is amazing to see […]

Help us pick a vacation destination!

(At our friend Carson's ranch in Amarillo, 2009)

Alright you guys. Javi and I  need some serious help. We FINALLY saved up enough money to take a little vacation (as in, about 4 days of vacation, since we can’t afford to put the dogs in the kennel longer than that). But I think I’ll finish my dissertation before we ever actually decide on […]

My Mother-In-Law is watching my steps

Every time I hear that someone has hundreds or pairs of shoes, I can’t understand it. I am the complete opposite. I tend to use tennis shoes for everything and since I got an awesome pair of Clarks indoor/outdoor slippers, those two paires are all I use to go to class, work, church, grocery shopping, […]

P90X Phase II complete!

We have been “bringing it!” for a while now!  After many weeks of pushups, pulls ups, lunges, and crunches, we are finally starting the last phase of P90X. Our first month was a learning (…painful learning) experience.  My goal with the program is to gain a few pounds. I want lean muscle weight, not just […]

I can’t remember the exact time that the idea of a photo booth caught Leslie’s attention – but she loves photo booths now! It might have been at our friend Robyn’s wedding – I think that was the first wedding photobooth we experienced. We have been to several events with different kinds of photo booths […]

Monkey See Monkey Did

20120414-104142.jpg

Yesterday I went to Ugly Mugs, a little coffee shop on Eastland in East Nashville, with Samantha so we could get some work done on a project we’re sharing. I ordered a brown sugar and honey latte (delicious) and Sam got the best smoothie I had ever tasted. It’s called a Curious George: bananas, PB and honey. […]
