One of the most productive plants in our garden is the basil. It is really great to see it grow big and fast and to be able to pick a leaf when I go to check the plants and smell the amazing aroma of this fresh Italian basil. I like to chop a leaf and […]
This past Tuesday I celebrated my golden birthday – turning 26 on the 26th day of the month. Javi thinks the golden birthday concept is dumb, but that’s because his was when he was 6 years old and he didn’t know what a golden birthday was back then. Not that it matters anyway – I didn’t throw […]
After starting the garden and installing the hammocks in the backyard, we are spending much more time with Chupete and Choripan in the backyard. We would love to be able to spend even more time in this peaceful space, but Tennessee has decided to heat things up (quite a bit) and staying outside, even under […]
We love going grocery shopping at Trader Joes. We dont live close to it (we wish there was more than 1 in Nashville) but we still take our weekly trip to the store. One of the reasons we like shopping there is that from time to time they surprise us with an idea for a […]
I never got a chance to write about our road trip home with my parents after Jennifer and Daniel’s wedding in Birmingham but it was a pretty fun time! So here goes. On Sunday morning we decided to make a couple of “must do while in Birmingham” stops. I mentioned before that my dad spent […]
Well folks, we’re now 4 days into Insanity and it’s been an experience already! When we started P90X we decided to do the program by the book to determine whether or not the program really worked and to get the maximum results. With Insanity, we are more interested in starting a new workout for change […]
As a birthday present from my family I got some money to use for anything I wanted. The only condition was that I had to use it for something fun, not for paying bills or to put into savings (which they know I tend to do). My first thought was to maybe use it towards […]
June 17 was a very important date for us. Like most people, we celebrated father’s day with our dads (with Javi’s dad via the world wide web) but we also added Pancho’s birthday celebration into the mix. As we normally do on Sundays, we got together at John and Annie’s home and had a delicious meal […]
Part two of our wedding weekend starts on Saturday morning after Ellen’s wedding. We rode with my parents down to Birmingham, Alabama for our friend Jennifer Faulkner’s wedding. My brother and I grew up visiting the Faulkners in Birmingham whenever we’d go down to see my grandparents in Alabama. My dad spent part of his […]
The garden is growing and starting to yield some tasty veggies for us. There’s nothing big yet but at least we have started to see growth and fruits. I was worried about one of our beds since it seemed like the plants did not want to grow there, but now everything is getting big and […]
