28 Jun 2010We have been busy busy busy the last few weekends!
We went to Red’s Porch (two weekends in a row) – where all our working out and eating well was rewarded with chicken fried chicken, smashed potatoes and mac n’ cheese – yum! And somehow, the following Mondays at the gym, I stepped on the scale [...]

21 May 2010First things first, this is me (Elizabeth) and that (the blue thing) is a first place ribbon that I got for winning the balloon popping contest in archery. It came down to me and Rich and, even though his balloons were bigger, I got my first blue ribbon ever which is kinda a big deal [...]

25 Mar 2010End of February through almost all of March news
1. We moved. We are happy to a) no longer be living downtown and b) have a nicer place twice the size for c) less money than we were paying to ride an elevator everyday up and down to and from our old place on the 18th [...]
This weekend, we decided to go to Corpus Christi. Why? Because it sounded like a great place…we wanted to go there while we are living close by…and there have been super enthusiastic advertisements on the radio encouraging us to come on down! (One even aired as soon as we got on the road! Good sign!) [...]

9 Feb 2010We are leaving the downtown scene for the burbs! Moving at the end of the month and getting packed again (luckily, a lot of what we brought down here is nicely organized and ready to go thanks to all of the great plastic boxes from The Container Store). Our new place is so much bigger [...]

28 Nov 2009Our First Thanksgiving in Austin
First, Richie came home from work with a harvest bouquet for me and it just made my day! He has surprised me with flowers twice now since we have been here and it is such a surprise that I never have a vase for them. I am thinking of buying one [...]

17 Nov 2009Look what I learned to do! Color! Woohoo!
Rich and I decided to start some hobbies while we are down here in Austin. So this past weekend, we took a ballroom dance lesson and learned how to waltz! It was a lot of fun! Very fast-paced but we caught on quick. The only thing we [...]
This weekend, Rich and I were going to go to the Fair! We saw a posting for it in our elevator and it sounded like fun. So how was it? Well, the parking lot (which we paid $5 to see) was…empty and the fair was lifeless. It was seriously like something out of a scary [...]
