Weekend Style

When I was in college I was notorious for sporting a t-shirt and nike running shorts sans makeup to class. Joe, while of course he loves me in my natural state, would get a bit tired of it. Now that I'm teaching this isn't an issue on an everyday basis. Actually, people at work are always commenting on my fashion sense; however, it is all to easy to slip back into my "what not to wear" clothes on the weekends. For fun I thought in order to keep myself accountable I would start posting my "Saturday errand running" clothes here on the blog. The pictures above are of the past two Saturdays with not a pair of nike shorts in sight.

Weekend Happenings

Joe and I had a great weekend of relaxation and bumming around town. We made a visit to two of the many restaurant supply stores and picked up a few things, as well as enjoyed looking at more things that we could never have the need for. We watched way too much television, and I finally finished The Girl Who Played With Fire. If you're wondering, it's a great read but takes time and commitment. This week and next are going to be super busy at work- my Easter program is in 8 days. Yikes. If you think of it please keep us (the choir, helpers, etc.) in your prayers.


Side note: Happy Birthday the seriously the best dad in the world! I love you more than words could express, and I'm equally as grateful for your obedience to the Lord. Milu!

Mad Men

I'm currently loving to channel my inner Joan Holloway and sporting a scarf in my hair.

Here are some more 'Mad Men' styles I can't get enough of. 

From ModCloth 

Estee Lauder, Mad Men Collection 

Can you tell I'm excited about the return of Mad Men on Sunday?

Happy 1st Birthday, Rémy!

Today is our dear Rémy's first birthday. Although we didn't know he existed yet this time a year ago, we are still going to celebrate. He is one beloved Frenchie and the perfect first 'baby'.

Here are some fun facts:

{He snores. A lot. Nearly as loud as a human}

{He loves ice}

{He gets gassy in the car}

{When we first brought him home he couldn't jump on anything}

{Now he can jump on the bed with little to no effort} 

{His middle name is Crockett because he was born in San Antonio}

{He loves to rough house with his daddy and sleep on his momma}

It's neat to think about how long (hopefully) Rémy will be apart of our family. Our children will know and love him, and he has already gained full grandchild rights with our parents.

Happy Birthday, bud. I love you too much!

Patience

Patience according to dictionary.com is defined as:

1. the quality of being patient,  as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like.

2. an ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay: to have patience with a slow learner.

3. quiet, steady perseverance; even-tempered care; diligence: to work with patience.

Well folks, our move has been postponed till October. The day project that Joe has been assigned to in San Antonio doesn't end till October 1st and apparently Joe is irreplaceable. As far as my "career" this isn't great because school starts well before then, but we are trusting in the Lord's plan for us. Hopefully we will know something more concrete next week. It seems that God is teaching us patience and to be flexible. 

Countdown to Rémy's Birthday Pt. 2

We had an early birthday celebration this afternoon with my family. Yes, we are those people. More pics. and video to come.

Countdown to Rémy's Birthday Pt. 1

In about two weeks and some-odd days our precious Rémy will turn one. This event is making me get down to it and edit all of the videos we have taken of him. If you don't know us (or Rémy) yes we know he is only a dog he is like our child. Please don't throw-up too much.

Reminiscing. Try # 2

Okay- here is the video I posted several weeks ago. I gave credit where credit is due and used a different website.

Hello Spring.

This weekend Joe's whole immediate family came into town. We had a wonderful time winning and dinning with them. As always the weekend went too quickly, but we are so grateful that they came to visit us.

 

This week needs to be incredibly productive, but I'm good with it going by rather quickly. On Thursday I will be heading to Houston to spend spring break with my sister and I can hardly wait.

Happy March!

Happy Spring, Loves!

Here in Texas March (or even late February) is the beginning of spring. We witnessed it first hand when we took Rémy on his walk yesterday. Everything was in bloom, and it was as if it happened overnight. 

"For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and  gone. 'The flowers have already appeared in the land; The time has arrived for pruning the vines, And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.

'The fig tree has ripened its figs, And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance. Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along!' "

Song 2:11-13 (NASB)
