Sorry for the lack of posts. I do have pictures...for most of the days from the past 3 weeks. I just haven't had time to do anything with them! Work has started back and it has been super stressful. I'll post some pictures soon!...

There is something wrong with the flash on my camera. The bottom right corner of this picture is in a shadow. Anyway, we had our last book study meeting and celebrated with some yummy snacks.


8/9/2010
Ug. I think I have a pretty good job, but the school year hasn't even started and I'm already stressed about it!


8/8/2010
You can't really tell, but Caleb vacuumed the carpet. This is an event worth documenting b/c we hardly ever get around to vacuuming,


8/7/2010
Amish friendship bread...made into muffins. Yum.

Today I didn't really forget to take a picture...I just never took a picture. It was actually a pretty eventful day. I ate lunch with a friend from grad school and then met up with Amy at Panera. Later that evening we hung out with some friends for a game night.

Getting ready for the new school year.

I've had these tennis shoes for 4 years and I've been reminiscing about all that these shoes have been through. I bought them right before I went to China in 2006. They were taken on that trip. I had them my last year of college in Norman, OK. They went with me to Dallas when I moved to go to UNT for grad school. They went with me on my honeymoon in Aspen, CO. And of course, all the times that I have attempted working out during the last 4 years. :)

I know this probably isn't a big deal...but I thought it was kind of cool that this sangria I bought was made a week after I was born. Kind of weird to think about I guess.


8/2/2010
Hadn't taken a picture and needed to head to bed. I had a training the next morning in Ft. Worth.


8/1/2010
Went to Market Street and saw "Israeli melons" on sale. So, I bought one. It was pretty similar to a cantaloupe.


July 31, 2010
On Saturday we headed home. We stopped for dinner at Torchy's Tacos in Dallas.


July 30, 2010
On Friday we went to Fiesta TX.


July 29, 2010
On Thursday we drove to Gruene, TX and went tubing on the Guadeloupe river. Then we drove down to San Antonio. For dinner we ate at Mi Tierra. There were a lot of little Mexican shops around the restaurant. This picture was taken at one of the shops while we were waiting to get into the restaurant.


July 28, 2010
On Wednesday we drove to Pedernales Falls state park and got to hike around for a couple of hours.


July 27, 2010
The cabin that we stayed in down in Wimberly, TX.


July 26, 2010
Packing for our trip.

Whoops. Missed a day. My first day to actually forget to take a picture. I think it's a sign. This blog is on a downward spiral. It may not survive the fall, but we'll see.

July 24, 2010
I am slightly obsessed with sunsets. I took this picture on my phone while stopped at a light. It was so intense. ;)


July 23, 2010
This is why our grocery bill has doubled this past year! Stinkin' organic food. This particular item was organic and fair trade. My conscience got the best of me...I ended up buying it over the cheap generic stuff.


July 22, 2010
Ok so I wore my shane and shane t-shirt today. It just so happens that this shirt is from their album "clean" and has a tooth brushing itself. It also just so happens that I went to the dentist today...not realizing/remembering that I was wearing this shirt. The dentist never said anything about it...but when I realized I had worn it to the dentist I felt like a dork. To make matters worse, I had a cavity! Oh the irony...


July 21, 2010

Taking stuff to CCA.


July 20, 2010
Taking up a new hobby. Our apartment complex has a racket ball court. We are finally getting around to using it, now that we've been here for a year.


July 19, 2010
I spent the night at Cousin Erin's on Sunday. She made me a delicious dinner, then we went and got frozen yogurt and saw Despicable Me. It was a good night with a good cousin. :)

We rode up to Tulsa with Caleb's parents and sister. This is a picture from the ride home.


July 17, 201o
While we were in Tulsa, we went to visit some old college friends. Chris was one of Caleb's roommates back in the day. It was good to see them!


July 16, 2010
Caleb and the groom.


July 15, 2010
We went to Tulsa for a wedding. These were at the rehearsal dinner, which happened to be at the Tulsa zoo. They were super cute.


July 14, 2010
My "craft" of the summer. I made a recipe box and recipe cards.


July 13, 2010
On our way out to eat to celebrate Caleb's score on the GMAT. He did great! All his hard work paid off.


July 12, 2010
Made fish tacos. It was my first time to make them and they turned out pretty good.


July 11, 2010
I am proud to say that I haven't killed my herbs yet.


July 10, 2010
I'm trying out different frozen yogurt flavors. I made mango frozen yogurt this time. It was yummy.

Cow appreciation day at Chick-fil-A. Free combos for anyone who dresses up like a cow. Caleb was not too excited about wearing the cow shirt...but when he got the most expensive combo meal for free, he decided it might not have been a bad idea after all.


July 8, 2010

Fiesta beef bowls. This is a yummy recipe.


July 7, 2010
No good ideas for a picture today. We went to elder-led prayer at church.


July 6, 2010

Purging. Anyone know of a good organization that I can donate clothes to?


July 5, 2010
Chicken with mango sauce. A recipe from my mom. The lighting is terrible in our apartment!


July 4, 2010
My parents and Catherine came into town for the 4th. It was good to see them!


July 3, 2010

Love it when we actually make the bed.


July 2, 2010
Take-out.


July 1, 2010Cousin Erin's car was in the shop for several days so she had borrowed her mom's convertible. I went with her to pick up her car and take back her mom's car. I got to drive this car back to its home.


June 30, 2010
This is kind of a weird picture. Anyway, I have been trying to get involved up at UNT with helping out with international student events. I gave a ride to some students from Turkey to the house of a professor and was told to make this sign so they could find my car.


June 29, 2010
Cousin Erin's moving day. I went with her to pick up her Uhaul.

Storm coming!


June 27, 2010
At Fair Park, about to go see Wicked. Yes with this post I am admitting that I saw Wicked again...after seeing it two weeks ago with Erin. It was totally worth it. We got cheap seats in the balcony. SO good.


June 26, 2010
Muffins!


June 25, 2010
I made homemade chocolate frozen yogurt! It was good. I have made it again since this and it was even better. This particular version had two cups of plain yogurt, 1 cup of 2% milk, 3 oz bakers chocolate, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla.


June 24, 2010
Making a mess in the kitchen.


June 23, 2010

Such a studious student.


June 22, 2010
Getting ready for work. My first day working as a licensed speech-language pathologist. :)


June 21, 2010

Been waiting 5 years for this day!


June 20, 2010
Adam made us lunch on Sunday and this is what we ate. Possibly one of the best things I've ever eaten (although I could probably say that about anything Adam makes). We ate cheese grits (filled with two kinds of cheese, grease from the sausage, heavy whipping cream, and spices) topped with seasoned shrimp, sausage, wilted spinach, and pico de gallo. It was pretty much like a party in my mouth. Not healthy in ANY way....but DELICIOUS.


June 19, 2010
Off to a wedding with Adam and Kelli.
