Hello World...

We will start with some cute pictures of the family....

Surf and Slide with the whole fam....





















Today is quiet Wednesday. I decided to do a little recapping for everyone....


  • Monday the 27th is Aaron and mine 4 year wedding anniversary. It is amazing how fast time flies. I remember thinking that Karina and Jeff's 10 year anniversary was eternity...now I realize it isn't that far off.. LOL. Aaron and I are going on a little road trip this weekend to Bandera Texas. It is just a cute little town we haven't been to before...we are going to partake in some beer drinking and dining...and maybe some dancing...(I will not promise about that..)


  • Found out that 2 of my girlfriends are expecting. I am so excited for both of them....I can't wait to meet the new little ones in 4-8 months.. :)


  • I have Aaron on a strict regimin of Zyrtec now. He keeps complaining that Pancho Diva is making his allergies all bad...(He seems to forget that he used to complain about his allergies wayyyyyyyyyyyy before Pancho Diva...He is fighting me on this....but I am going to win!!!!

  • Michele and I are headed to Ohio Aug 13-17th for our annual Pure Romance training. I am really looking forward to this....I am really feeling the vibe of our business. July was a slow month for us..but it was also nice to have some time to spend with my family...Aaron was starting to miss me on the weekends...LOL!


  • I am on a strict work out regimin. Today is just the Wii Fit for an hour...(dreading it!!!) but I will work out every week day..no matter what! I am working on getting my pre-lay off and pre-school body...I sure let myself go...but I am getting back!!!!


  • I had a dream about Colorado last night...I want to hike up Mt. Werner again....I am however going to go walk my pooch here in a minute...it is only about 80ish degrees right now..so I have to hurry before her and I both melt...

  • Starr has decided to work on moving out. Although it was sad to me...I think it will be best for her and the kids and good for Aaron and I too...She totally can do it...so there is no reason for her to be crowded in our empty rooms upstairs...she can have a whole place....I love looking at apartments..so we are going to get looking at some this next weekend...
  • Anywho....I just returned from my walk..I only melted a little... my favorite part was stepping in the ant bed while I let Pancho Diva smell some flowers...my foot was covered in ants...I love Texas.


  • I think this is all I have for today.....

Just a quick taste on how our summers roll...

Diary of a New Texan
May 30th:
Just moved to Dallas. Now this is a city that knows how to live!!
Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! I watched the sunset from a park lying on a blanket. It was beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.
June 14th:
Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshiper.
June 30th:
Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing lawn for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here. July 10th:
The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat and humidity is taking longer that I expected.
July 15th:
Fell asleep by the pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body). Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.
July 20th:
I missed Morgan (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car for lunch, Morgan had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stank up the $2,000 leather upholstery. I told the kids that she ran away. The car now smells like Kibbles and shit. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat.
July 25th:
The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is not working and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.
July 30th:
Been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now. $1,500 in damn house payments and we can't even go inside. Why did I ever come here?
Aug. 4th:
It's 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85, but this freaking humidity makes the house feel like it's about 95. Stupid repairman. I hate this stupid city.
Aug. 8th:
If another wise ass asks, "Hot enough for you today?" I'm going to strangle him. Damn heat. By the time I get to work the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!
Aug. 9th:
Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and sat on the black leather seats in the ol' car. I thought my ass was on fire. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and ass. Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried ass, and baked cat.
Aug. 10th:
The weather report might as well be a damn recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do shit for 2 damn months and the weather man says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this damn desert? Water rationing now, so my $1700 worth of cactus just dried up and blew into the damn pool. Even the cactus can't live in this damn heat.
Aug. 14th:
Welcome to HELL!!! Temperature got to 115 today. Forgot to crack the window and blew the damn windshield out of the car. The installer came to fix it and said, "Hot enough for you today?" My wife had to spend the $1500 house payment to bail me out of jail. Freaking Texas. What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here.

Colorado

Well everyone....I do want to update about Colorado and the to do's of the household here... First...I wish I was in a moving van up to Colorado...I want to move into a cabin right on the Colorado River... or move with Aunt Marty and Uncle Bruce.. :) It was so beautiful and I can not talk enough about how the weather was perfect!!! I wanted to send out one more thank you to Aunt Marty and Uncle Bruce for a awesome time off from work.. We love you and hope to see you soon....









Snow IN JUNE!!!!!


This was our hike to Thunderhead...(yup..that is boob sweat you see on me...) Isaac was shocked as to how much I talk...I was pretty surprised he forgot about my motor mouth.. ;) It was really nice to hang out with Pam though..that was the first time we have had alot of time together. Aunt Marty, Isaac, Pam and I all hiked about 3000 feet.. Yeah for us!!!
This was when we first got to Colorado....Up 11,990 feet...and I was huffing and puffing from our hike back "straight" up the hill we went down to play in the snow...(Great idea Aunt Marty)

Views from Thunderhead hike
View from our awesome time share that Aunt Marty and Uncle Bruce set up...





As my mom mentioned to most of ya'll in the email....we are going to try to get things rolling for this years Angel Walk (The Brain Tumor Foundation) on November 7th. I'll be in touch regarding donations...However...for those of you that think you can make it...we have room for you somewhere up there...if not, we will find very low priced hotels.. :) For those of you that can not make it....try to set up some donations for yourself to donate for Team Oma...last year we had over $2000 in donations...it would be so awesome if we could have double that...and I think we can do it.
When I am able to set up the donation page I recommend sending to everyone you know...it is a easy way to take part even if you can't make it... :)


I guess I best get back to work
Love everyone!!!
