A door named Apocalipsis
Things have been pretty crazy with the whole Rodriguez family in town! We’ve mostly spent our time relaxing together, cooking, shopping and enjoying each other’s company. Right now, Javier’s mom Meri is wildly happy cleaning our house with our brand new steam cleaner – she LOVES it, and I love that our house looks and […]

Manuel Fernandez – 1922
Javier’s parents brought us (what seems like) an entire suitcase full of items from Chile, including a sweet photo of Javier’s great-grandfather Manuel Fernandez. Los papas de Javier trajeron (lo que parece ser) una maleta llena de cosas de Chile, incluyendo una foto genial de el bis-abuelo de Javier, Manuel Fernandez. Manuel was from Santander, […]

McClure wedding
Not only is our anniversary in December but my parents and Javier’s parents celebrate their anniversaries in this wonderful month as well. My parents’ 34th was this past Friday, Dec. 16. Below is a photo of their celebratory beer at Dalt’s grill – still such a cute couple! 🙂 No es solo nuestro aniversario en […]

West End Rhythm Kings
PAULA IS HERE!!!!! And the rest of Javier’s family arrives tomorrow!! Paula is Javier’s older sister and she arrived a few days before the rest of the family and is going to stay a little longer. We love having her here, and she’s been a big help working on a few last minute projects (which […]

Mansion Makeover
I feel like I’m sitting in a totally different house right now – Javi and I painted our living / dining room!! We started on our anniversary (so romantic…try not to be too jealous of our pizza and beer anniversary dinner) and finished yesterday, just in time for Javier’s parents to arrive. I’m so happy […]

Los Rodriguez Wedding
I already wrote out this long, detailed post about all the fun aspects of our wedding, but it was boring and I’d hate to have a boring post describing of one of the best days of my life, and one of the most fun parties I’ve ever been to. So here’s a few quick words […]

Los Rodriguez Anniversary
It’s our 2-year wedding anniversary! Happy day! Es nuestro segundo aniversario! Feliz dia!! Our engagement story is kind of funny, and worth telling before I post anything about our wedding, which I’ll do tomorrow. Javi and I both volunteered for a local Vacation Bible School in the summer of 2009, and on our way to […]

The End is Near!
The end of the semester. The end of the world isn’t until next December (?). El fin del semestre. El fin del mundo no es hasta el proximo Diciembre (?). I’ve turned in all of my papers – including the one I wrote with my fabulous coauthor Samantha, so that’s that. Now I have  my last […]

dogs, ferrets and pigs, Oh My!
I’m willing to bet pretty good money that my friend Gretchen is one of the top animal lovers of the world. It’s hard for me to keep up with the number of animals she has rescued, but I do know for a fact that the collection includes a cat (Memphis), 2 dogs (Dallas and Droopy), […]

Advent Workshop at Second Presbyterian
It’s finals week…which means I’m digging back into my recent fun adventures file, because I will be enjoying a grand total of zero fun adventures until I turn in my last assignment (which is a take home final, and happens to be due on our 2-year anniversary). Es semana de examenes finales…lo que significa que estoy […]

Quick kitchen tip!
After doing some grocery shopping yesterday, I noticed that we had way too many eggs. Some of them have been in our fridge for awhile, and of course I didn’t want to get up in the morning and crack an egg to make an omelett and wake up with the nice smell of rotten poultry…(terrible […]

The Good and Bad Stress of December
December…Oh December…We are so excited to have it here, but it will take a couple of weeks until we can really love it. Diciembre…oh Diciembre…Estamos muy felices de tenerte aqui, pero no sera hasta un par de semanas que te vamos a querer. Don’t get us wrong, its Christmas season! We put up the tree, […]

Education Movement Music – I.C.Will
High quality education brightens the future of any child, but how do we keep kids focused on their education? Is this the responsibility of the kids, parents, teachers, government or everybody? It’s a pretty complex issue – as Leslie reminds me every time she comes home from her class on the sociology of education. Our […]
