Go Cards!
On the Saturday before Christmas my parents, Regena, Javier and I all donned our favorite UofL gear and headed out to the Bridgestone Arena to see the Cards play against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Javier and I hadn’t been to Bridgestone since he used to work for the Predators and I hadn’t been to a…

Decorating Christmas Cookies
Every year at Christmas my parents would drive me and Ian down to Birmingham after we opened our presents in Louisville to spend the rest of the Christmas holiday at my grandparents’ beautiful farm. While we were en route my grandmother would bake and cook up a storm for us – and she always included…

Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas from the Los Rodriguez / McClure households! This post is a little out of order because we have a ton of pre-Christmas events to share, but those things can wait. We’ve had such an amazing couple of days! Last Wednesday my aunt Regena arrived in Nashville and then on Christmas eve eve my…

Los Rodriguez Mansion: Ready for Christmas!
So now that we’ve seen the Nutcracker and watched a few Christmas movies, Javi and I are feeling properly Christmasy and into the season. We decorated the house the week after Thanksgiving this year, but I haven’t had a chance to thoroughly clean the house yet to take photos. Most of our decorations are much…

Epic Show Flier v 2.0
It’s here! It’s here! One year after Javier drew the last epic show flier for the last Christmas show at Puckett’s, here’s the new one for this year’s Christmas Show (also at Puckett’s)! It’s great being married to such a goofy, talented guy. So yes, consider this the official announcement for my next show with…

Friends, food and the Nutcracker
It’s taken me a few extra weeks to get into the “Christmas spirit” (last year I had my decorations up by the second week of November!) but if I was still not into it by the beginning of this weekend, I’m definitely feeling it now! We had two holiday gatherings this weekend and – my all time…

Happy 35th Anniversary J&A!
It’s my parents’ 35th anniversary!! My parents are HUGE UofL basketball fans and decided to celebrate their anniversary with a drive down to Memphis to see UofL play Memphis. Sounds like the perfect way to celebrate – here’s a photo that my dad posted on facebook last night with the caption “35th anniversary is paper,…

Time to celebrate!
Sometimes, it’s best to just find things to celebrate to a) not feel guilty about having some fun (you’re celebrating something! It must be legitimate!) and b) to force yourself to enjoy a day, or even a few hours, off. Over the last few days, we’ve found some things to celebrate. Javier had a long…

Letters from Grandmother v.2
This is the second letter in our collection. For those who missed the first, please take a second to read it here. For this letter you must keep in mind that at the time the voting age was 21 and she was only 20. (the translated version is after the english version) Esta es la…

Casa Azafrán & Congratulations Conexión Americas!
Oh hallelujah. The end of the semester is in sight. Today I turned in one of my two final papers – the other one is due on Monday. It’s been a crazy semester! It will probably be a pretty busy holiday too, but not quite like the “busy” we had last year when the Rodriguez…

Letters from Grandmother v.1
In our post about our very McClure thanksgiving we mentioned that we spent quite a bit of time during the thanksgiving holiday reading the letters that Leslie’s grandparents wrote to each other when they were dating (well, secretly engaged – in 1944). We are so happy that these letters exist – it really is a…
