Bdays

This pic is of Meredith and Lezlie, two ladies I work with. They had bdays in May and we decorated their offices. They each got to wear the bday crown.


Then when it was my bday my desk got decorated too and I got the bday crown.


I got a manicure and pedicure for my bday. Love being pampered.


I chose my bday dinner to be at Zorba's a Greek food restuarant. It was great. Alina and Jason went with us.

San Antonio Here We Come

We got to go to San Antonio for Memorial Day weekend. Chris lived there when he was younger and I hadn't been there since high school. Our friends Jason and Alina were there as well. So we got to hang out. We went to the Tower of Americas, went to the zoo, went to the Alamo and just did some site seeing. It was a great weekend trip.

Thought this was funny. The rice came out in a pyramid.

We went looking for some breakfast the first morning we were in San Antonio and a tour guide lady told us about this great breakfast joint. Very hole-in-the-wall and run by these funny dudes. It was great food though. We had breakfast there all three days we were there.

This is the view from our hotel room.

We were over-looking the Alamo.

New Furniture....This Pic Is For You Carla :)

Hurray for us. We got a new couch finally. Our old one was great for awhile but it definitely got used and worn down. We have wanted a new couch for a long time and we found this great one. It looks small in this picture but it's actually pretty big. The pillows that came with it really aren't us but we are using them until we can find some others.

Easter 09

So this year was the first year since my birth 28yrs ago that I have not spent Easter with my family. I was pretty bummed because you just don't not spend holidays with family. You miss traditions like waking up and finding my Easter basket in the living room somewhere and then competing with my brothers, mainly Zane, on who can find the most easter eggs in the house. Yes my mom still hides easter eggs for us and we get to hunt them and I usually beat Zane by finding the most. Traditions people, they never end even when you get older. So Chris was so sweet to put together a basket for me and fill it with fun stuff. He also filled a whole bag of plastic eggs with candy and hide them around our apartment, all after I fell asleep the night before Easter. We had our own hunt. What a husband.

Looking Back.....

This is the weekend that Chris and I met at Bonita Park, December 29th, 2002. We stayed up until 3pm one of the nights around a campfire that wasn't even hot with Leora and Kyle and this was the pic from that. It was snowy outside and freezing. But we liked each other so much from the beginning that it didn't matter.

Carla and I that same weekend. We were celebrating the New Year. Oh we were so young.

I don't remember when this picture was if it was during the Christmas break or one of the summers at BP but I thought it fit with the theme of this post...looking back. Me and Melissa Weaver.

Chris and I were in a long distance relationship for the first 5 months we were together. So I got to see him during my spring break when I went to Texarkana. We went to the lake and we made this heart in the sand.

We also had dinner at Sonia and Vance's house and that's where this picture was. I sent this pic to Chris later with this note attached.

I don't know when we took this picture but I know it was sometime towards the beginning of Chris and Kylee so it made it in. Look at that goatee on Chris.

This is one of the times Chris came to visit me at college in Las Cruces and he lived at BP. He brought me a little kitty that turned out to be a little evil. I would get scared at night when I went to bed because it would jump up on the bed and run at my face and claw. Chris had some other incidents happen when it was his turn to keep the kitty. Stories he'll have to tell you in person when you get the chance. Needless to say that kitty is long gone. Actually we gave it to my friend Kesha, she had it fixed and that cat is awesome. So all turned out well. First year we were married we worked at BP and Chris was embracing the mountain living. He decided to grow his hair out. I think we liked it at first then it was too much.

This was me in my daily uniform at BP. Nametag and all. Good times....good times. This was a great place to start our marriage.

I think this was maybe our first Easter together as a married couple. I'm not sure. But I do remember this sweater. It's one I ordered from American Eagle. I never order clothes online. I did for this sweater because I loved it. After we got married Chris did the laundry and shrunk this sweater so small it would fit a really small child. Bummer for the cool sweater.

Zoo with the Davis'

Carla and Nik came to visit us as their first stop of their vacation, Adventure TOKMA (Texas, Oaklahoma, Kansas, I forgot what M stands for, and Arkansas). You have to have a name for your trip. Good times. I'm not sure why Chris and Nik have a weird look on their faces. Maybe they were suspicious of our train ride we were taking. Who knows. This is me showing off the Ft Worth zoo map. Just thought it would be fun.

I think this picture is cute. What a couple right?

Carla and I just being us.

Gotta have a group pic.

Random Pics

No this is not our baby. This is Major. He belongs to our friends Chris and Mara. He's almost one year old. This picture was taken a while ago but as you have seen, I haven't posted any pics since Christmas. Don't worry...I think I will get better.

These next pics are just of me and Chris so you don't forget what we look like. These are the faces you get to miss out on not living in the same place as us.
