But, it is the truth it has been well over a month since my last post—that is partly because I was way to busy/stressed with the end of school to post and not a lot of exciting stuff happened during that time besides work, work, work….</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling">As soon as school ended I boarded a plane to Ohio to visit my parents who moved here last summer. I have been here almost three weeks….. I knew I wanted to blog about my time here, but didn’t know how to break it up…not enough to do day by day—well knowing me I could stretch it out… I do like to talk <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_wRZSuoCzys/TgA_DEuNzII/AAAAAAAAALI/qVo0Abavt2U/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" /> I decided I will blog about it in weeks…. but then some things happened over the span of several weeks—so those things will be their separate posts (ex. my grandpa going into the hospital and the making of our coupon binder)</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling">So here is week 1 in Ohio:</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling">I flew in late Thursday night…. I mean real late like rolled in at 11:45pm! Friday night we went Downtown Dayton because my mom heard of this First Friday event that they do downtown…turns out it was kind-of “Austiny”…they had a lot of local bands playing at the local bars. So, we passed on that and hit of Spaghetti Warehouse for Dinner. </font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling">That Saturday we went to a Farmers Market in Cincinnati called Findlays Market…we were really going there because they were suppose to be having this German fest..but we lost track of that when we saw how cool the market was! For lunch we had Chinese—which is a big deal, because Jason hates Chinese so I hardly get to have it back home—and I LOVE IT!</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling"> On Sunday we went to a Strawberry Festival in a town nearby…they had a lot of arts and crafts and every strawberry type food you can imagine. We tried some Strawberry cheesecake. There I got the cutest collars for our dogs…when I get home I will post pictures of them in their new oh-so-cute collars! </font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling">Then Monday my dad went back to work and my mom and I planned a little picnic to take him at work. After our picnic, my mom and I went and swam at the pool there on Wright Pat Air Force Base. We swam and laid out (which we later found was a HUGE mistake). We had a great time followed by a game night that night. Then we woke up Tuesday and we were soo sunburned it hurt to move….so we pretty much hung around the house the rest of the week because we were pretty burnt! </font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling">That Thursday we had to take my dad to the airport, because he was flying to Texas because my grandpa was/still is hospital (post about how he is doing later). It was hard having my dad go, because here I came from Texas to visit both of them and he is leaving to go to Texas…but he has to be there for his mom and dad and I completely understand. It has allowed for some great bonding time between my mom and I !</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling">Well I didn’t really think I could write that much from the first week here…but like I said I LOVE to talk!!</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling"></font></p> <p><font size="6" face="Lucida Handwriting">~Ashley</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling"> </font></p> sanchezmemorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886675288135544130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039539306605968272.post-62895200634407387402011-05-06T20:16:00.001-07:002011-05-06T20:16:03.600-07:00Light at the end of the tunnel!!<p><font size="3" face="CK Journaling">I know it has been a looooooooooong time since my last blog update…two months to be exact—that is sad, but school has just consumed so much of my time—and when I am not doing school I am exhausted for doing school stuff!! With just 15 days left of this year I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel…. YAAAY!!! With that I decided to update our well really my blog (because Jason has yet to ever post… I don’t know why I thought he would!) There isn’t much to update…. my life right now is school, school, school and I try to fit in some gym and sleep! Those last two sometimes get neglected..which is not good. Since there isn’t a lot of exciting stuff going on in my/our life I decided to take part in 5 question Friday which is hosted by </font><a href="http://fivecrookedhalos.blogspot.com/"><font size="3" face="CK Journaling">Five Crooked Halos</font></a><font size="3" face="CK Journaling">. So, here it goes…</font></p> <p><font face="CK Journaling"><font size="4"><strong>1. Have you ever had roommates?</strong></font></font></p> <p><font face="CK Journaling"><font size="3">My whole life…Just the other day I was talking to our Housemate Lupe about having roommates and I realized I have never lived without someone else there…well from November 08- beginning of January 09 I kind of did, but not really). I went straight from living at home to living in a dorm at Texas State for my first two years with Jessica as my freshman roommate and Mallory as my sophomore roommate. Then I moved into an apartment with 2 ofy sorority sisters Carly and Mandy. Then my senior year I moved to a new apartment with 3 sorority sister—Carly, Misha and Gloria. Then that summer I went to work at Camp Honey Creek where I lived in a cabin with Jill and Katie. After that summer I moved in with Jason while I looked for jobs in the Austin area. Stayed with him until November when I bought the house we live in now… now I live with Jason (hubby) and Lupe (housemate). I don’t think I would ever like to live alone—I don’t even like eating alone!!</font></font></p> <p> </p> <p><font size="3"><font face="CK Journaling">2<strong>. How many names do you/your children have? (i.e. Prince Charming William Phillip Arthur Louis John Jacob Jingleheimer-Schmidt)</strong></font></font></p> <p><font size="3" face="CK Journaling">Well we don’t have children yet, but we do have dogs---they are just one named kids, Lilly, Bear, and Barley…we have talked about future kids names and they just have the typical first middle and last name…I heard all the names the Prince has and think that is just too many…as a teacher I don’t want to wish a name too hard on my future children.</font><font face="CK Journaling"></font></p> <p><font size="3" face="CK Journaling"><strong>3. Did you watch the Royal Wedding?</strong></font></p> <p><font size="3" face="CK Journaling">Well…it’s like reading Twilight—I don’t want to admit it, but yea I watched some of it. I totally made fun of my mom who was just in la la land telling when it started on Friday and how she was going to try and get up at 4 AM!!! I thought she and the rest of the world was craaaazy for hyping it all up…but just like Twilight I said I would give it a try to see what everyone was so into…before you know it I was a bit hooked and I was watching the different programs on all the channels.</font></p> <p>4<b><font size="3"><font face="CK Journaling">. W</font><b>hat is the messiest room in your house?</b></font></b></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"><font face="CK Journaling">Master bedroom and bathroom by far! Every time we clean we put all of our effort and time into the other rooms in the house… you know the ones guests see. By the time we get to the bedroom we are either out of time or exhausted…so it always gets pushed to another time. It is my goal this weekend to START with those rooms and move to the others!! I will keep you posted if I meet my goal!</font></font> <br /></p> </blockquote> <font size="3" face="CK Journaling"></font> <p><font face="CK Journaling"><font size="3"><b>5.

M</strong>y parents made the trek from Ohio to Texas with their three dogs (Bayley and Bear Sr.—the parents to our two labs and they brought Abby who is the sister to our two labs). They drove non stop starting Friday afternoon and getting here Saturday afternoon…what can I say they LOVE ME!!! While they were making the journey here Jason and I were power cleaning the house in record time and making room in our garage for 6 DOGS! When they got here we had a mini family reunion with all the dogs which ended with…Barley the smallest dog having a bad case of little man syndrome and trying to stir up trouble—in his crate he went…Lilly not being able to get a long with her sister Abby (who looks just like her)… and Bear Jr. being the hostess with mostess.. anytime there would be little tiffs between relatives he was there to make sure everyone was okay. After the re-introductions we all realized we hadn’t eaten all day them due to their driving and us our speed cleaning, so Jason and </font>I <font size="3" face="CK Journaling">took them to the big Golden Coral on Parmer. I told Jason last time we ate there (which was a year ago) that I will only eat here when I have gone all day without eating…there is soooo much food there!! Sunday we went to church and guess where we ate again—Golden Coral….we vowed that was our last time until next year! Over lunch Sunday we discussed plans to lay grass in our backyard…this is when us acting like adults starts….</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="CK Journaling">We decided to lay 2 pallets of grass…for all those that don’t really know what 2 pallets means (which I definitely didn’t know) it means we had enough grass to cover 900 square feet!!! We shopped around and found a nursery where we could get 1 pallet for $95! I will take that any day…because the stores were selling 1 piece for 1.29ish and buying it as a pallet it came out to 45 cents….I sound so educated on grass buying—which I am now! We ordered the grass Sunday and planned to go pick it up Monday. Monday morning I wake up and make the fam so good hearty bacon and eggs for breakfast…also very adult of me! We send the boys with my mom and dads new Avalanche to pick up a pallet of the grass to find that one whole pallet won’t fit on the bed of their car so they had to cut them in 1/2. When they get back with 1/2 a pallet we realize that we are going to need more than our little red raider wagon to haul it to the backyard…we called around to borrow a wheel borrow with little luck, so we decided to invest in one…more grass laying and gardening are definitely in our future with a yard this size! For the rest of the day my mom and I drove to North Austin to pick up 1/2 a load at a time..that equals 4 trips! Jason went and rented a tiller and the boys (Jason and my dad) tilled and prepped the ground for the grass.</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="CK Journaling"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TYlfy1sXAuI/AAAAAAAAAJk/w_0J1FXGAR8/s1600-h/before%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="before" border="0" alt="before" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TYlfzexAG3I/AAAAAAAAAJo/ry0fAfhNTF4/before_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></font></p> <p><font size="3" face="CK Journaling">Here you can see the dirt patch and only SOME of the grass we laid!</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="CK Journaling"> Finally around 4ish we started laying the grass.</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TYlf0GEFS3I/AAAAAAAAAJs/4DlGJf2RFoA/s1600-h/photo-4%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="photo-4" border="0" alt="photo-4" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TYlf0WA1haI/AAAAAAAAAJw/9sVWjg5aISg/photo-4_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></p> <p><font size="3" face="CK Journaling">Here is Jason and I lying the monumental first piece of grass (please excuse me looking a hot mess in this picture… I was working haaaard!!) </font></p> <p><font size="3" face="CK Journaling">Once we started laying the pieces out it went pretty quick! Luckily it gets darker later so we had some extra daylight, which really helped! We continued laying grass while my mom cooked us up some delicious chalupas! </font></p> <p><font size="3" face="CK Journaling">Here is some pictures of the final product and our <strike>hired </strike>help!</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TYlf1CZlL8I/AAAAAAAAAJ0/2-ICV93f9LM/s1600-h/photo-1%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="photo-1" border="0" alt="photo-1" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TYlf1ZVQ4yI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/r8tzzMYgg5I/photo-1_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="167" height="129" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TYlf19iBqCI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/o-fsS1f5kDc/s1600-h/photo-3%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="photo-3" border="0" alt="photo-3" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TYlf3d3CXRI/AAAAAAAAAKA/CbpvL5dc68E/photo-3_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="167" height="129" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TYlf4bGKIQI/AAAAAAAAAKE/5CUefWX8o0Q/s1600-h/photo-2%5B7%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="photo-2" border="0" alt="photo-2" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TYlf46lToQI/AAAAAAAAAKI/PvbxLv-yEsE/photo-2_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="168" height="130" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TYlf5itzvYI/AAAAAAAAAKM/oijIV4I8x6c/s1600-h/photo-5%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="photo-5" border="0" alt="photo-5" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TYlf6Id-YwI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/XUIW_qtqqs0/photo-5_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="170" height="131" /></a></p> <p><font size="3" face="CK Journaling">We worked some more on Tuesday with the added help of my nana and Ray on cleaning up our Rose Bushes, pulling weeds, laying a few more squares, and rolling it with a giant roller! Now we are doing our best of giving it plenty of water and keeping the dogs off of it as much as possible! We are pretty proud of ourselves for being such productive homeowners on the first two days of our Spring Break. I can’t say the rest of the week was spent being so productive, but we did get to visit/spend time with family which is always a time well spent! We are so thankful for my parents who helped so much on their vacation!!!</font></p> sanchezmemorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886675288135544130noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039539306605968272.post-8557674125254445232011-02-17T20:12:00.001-08:002011-02-17T20:12:05.245-08:00It’s been a whiiiiile…..<p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling">So, it has been since Halloween since I have posted….how sad. But, that is what school does—consume my life..along with the Christmas season, celebrating our one year anniversary in December, traveling to Ohio, and starting a new semester. I would still go and read all my friends blogs and keep up with them, and every time I thought I really need to update ours…but then told myself no one really reads it so why bother. Well, tonight I just pushed pass the thought about no one reading it and decided to post. I am not going to recap everything that we have done since Halloween, but we have been busy.</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling">As of late our weekends are starting to fill up as they normally do in the spring, with weddings, showers, parties and little projects we plan. We just celebrated our 5th Valentines together at our traditional spot Macaroni Grill…. I like this tradish because it has a lot of meaning to why we continue to go there and because it is uber expensive! We started going there for Valentines day 5 years ago when I was still in San Marcos going to Texas State and Jason was in North Austin…we would meet half way at the one in South Austin. It is that 1st Valentines day where Jason 1st told me he loved me by drawing it on our table<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TV3xklgh77I/AAAAAAAAAJY/YWXuMKiIkwM/s1600-h/100_1071%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_1071" border="0" alt="100_1071" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TV3xk_HvMgI/AAAAAAAAAJc/DWieQ2MfZzk/100_1071_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling">That piece of paper is now framed in our living room! Then the next year I was still down in San Marcos so we said lets meet up again at the same place…since then the tradish just stuck—but we now go to the one up here in Round Rock. It’s cute and doesn’t break the bank. This Valentines we said we weren’t going to do anything, so we can attempt to save money…but sure enough my prince charming snuck a bouquet of my favorite flowers (which he recently learned were gerber daisies!) and a huge balloon that sings. That balloon has been a huge hit in my classroom…we have mini dance parties throughout the day <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TV3xlOQo-SI/AAAAAAAAAJg/FMhzY_b4iIk/wlEmoticon-smile%5B2%5D.png?imgmax=800" />You should see the moves my kids have they are hilarious—they just let loose!</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling">Well, there isn’t much else going on with us…but a lot is going on with our friends…we sometimes I live through their exciting lives and then come back to mine when it gets too much… for example a lot of my friends are pregnant and due soon. Which leads everyone else to the question, “Does this make you want a baby?” Answer always the same, “Nope!” I do have to admit I find myself looking up crib décor and baby clothes and sending the links to my friends who actually need those items…but I am glad it is not me at this time. We are planning on waiting another 3ish years before we add someone else to our little family of 5 (us and 3 dogs). Jason jokes that he will have 2 princess babies to take care of..me and our future child. It is like a compliment/burn—compliment that I am a princess…burn that I am a baby (which is sooo not true!) I am very happy to be the friend to all these girls who will be bringing in little bundles of joy into the world soon…so I can be there when it is fun and leave when it is not and learn how it’s done!</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="CK Journaling">Well, that is about as much news and rambling that I can think of!! It feels good to be back…now let’s just hope all this rambling is read<img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TV3xlOQo-SI/AAAAAAAAAJg/FMhzY_b4iIk/wlEmoticon-smile%5B2%5D.png?imgmax=800" />!</font></p> sanchezmemorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886675288135544130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039539306605968272.post-78678896432968666222010-11-01T18:40:00.001-07:002010-11-01T18:43:00.357-07:00Happy Halloweeeeeeen!!!<p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I am not going to lie Halloween is not my favorite holiday. I used to like it when the costumes were cute and creative, not throw on a scary mask and you are some dead something. Then when I got to college it was just an excuse to dress a little skimpy. Then I meet Jason and he loves Halloween and scary movies. So, this year I attempted to make more of an effort to get into this holiday. It started on Friday where we decided on our couple costumes, which this year we decided to be an angel and a devil. It wasn’t much of a costume for me, since I am often mistaken for an angel ;) We got all our gear Friday night and we even got the dogs some Halloween shirts…they weren’t too happy about them. Then Saturday afternoon we went to Laura’s 2nd annual Pumpkin Carving Contest. This year we were not allowed to use stencils….so I brought a stencil of a snowflake and free handed 95% of my pumpkin. Jason decided on the batman sign. We were much better and more confident carving this year, compared to last year (which was my first year ever really carving a pumpkin). Last year we made a Superman sign and a Christmas tree…you try and figure our who made what :) Since Jason used a stencil for his and I traced one tiny piece of mine we lost some points. So, we didn’t win this year, but I don’t think I will ever win—because the winner’s pumpkin got points for being Halloween themed….a scared cat.. I mean come on. It doesn’t really get more creative than a snowflake…oh well I loved it and that is all that matters. </span></p> <p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">After the carving we came home to get our gear on. It was pretty fun getting dressed, since I had to paint Jason’s face red. At first it looked like he had the measels, then a really bad sun burned and finally he was starting to look devilish. It was a lot of fun helping Jason get into costume, because he was just soo excited to be dressing up. The last time we dressed up he was superman and I was a Christmas tree in 2007…notice a pattern :). After spending about an hour or more getting him painted and beard glued on I got ready in like 15 minutes… like I said being an angel comes natural to me—not a lot of dressing up. Then we were off. We were only 2 hours late to his brother’s Halloween movie party. We got there and took some pictures and before you know it I was changing into comfy clothes and Jason’s beard was off…all that for only a few minutes in full costume….oh well the main thing is Jason was so excited to get dressed up it made up for all of it!</span></p> <p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Sunday, we hung around and watched the poor Cowboys…bless their hearts..they are just no bueno this year. Then off to 5 o clock mass. After mass we rushed home to post up in Jason’s office, which is much closer to our front door, to pass out candy. We got a pretty good amount of trick or treaters. All in all it was a really great Halloween weekend. I even watched way more than my 1 scary movie per year quota… I think I watched like 4 or 5! </span></p> <p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Now just 1 more holiday until my favorite holiday ever… CHRISTMAS!!! </span></p> <p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></p> <p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;">P.S.

Well, I thought I don’t have anything to really write right now, so I will be adventurous and click on the next blog…..it was an entire blog dedicated tooooo extra long fingernails (which is not practical, but not out of the ordinary) but then there were pictures of extra long toenails….that is when I think I threw up in my mouth a little. It does not help that I hate feet, but here is the grossest picture of feet..especially the lady picking up a banana. The reason this is so bad/gross/disgusting is because people choose to do this to their feet…it’s not like they are born with gross looking feet…no they chose to hide or throw out their clippers and grow those claws out.

This is the first summer since I began teaching where I don’t have a million things going on and I’m not wedding planning anymore…so I have been able to focus on doing things to help make the house work for us. Since we are on a tighter budget this year with plane trips and buying a new car I chose to organize—it is free to do! I have organized all closets, drawers, and cabinets in this house. I have one more closet left….the front hall closet…which still has boxes that I never unpacked from when I moved in a year and a half ago…it’s on the to do list for this week! I will have some before and after pictures of my progress coming soon.</font></p> <p> </p> <p><font color="#0000ff" size="7" face="CK Sugar Cookie">Cooking:</font> </p> <p><font size="4"><font color="#ff0000"><font face="Comic Sans MS">During the school year I just could never find the t</font><font face="Comic Sans MS">ime to really cook outside my comfort level…which is basically just cooking chicken and a side of veggies or browning meat for nachos. So, when I got back from Ohio I had Jason come up with something he wanted for dinner-it was partly because I had been gone 3 weeks and I wanted to make something nice for him and 2 I needed something to motivate me to attempt cooking more than the usual. So, far I have made lasagana and enchilada casserole. Since, cooking doesn’t come natural to me I am a recipe follower to a T. I can’t wing things or think I know how much of certain things to put. Right now I am just attempting one new dish a week and it working nicely. I am trying to collect some recipes that I can try during the school year!</font></font></font></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><font color="#0000ff" size="7" face="SF Collegiate">Routine:</font> </p> <p><font size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Today I had to wake up at 7 and be somewhere from 8:30-4 for a workshop that was boring…but that’s another story. While there I was talking with some friends from my school about why it’s been so hard for me to lose weight during the summer. (side note: I’m really good at making excuses….but I think this one is legit—well I think all my excuses are legit, but this one really really is!) The reason I think it has been hard for ME (no one else might have this problem and it might sound silly to others) is that during the school year I have a routine established…for example I eat the same thing for lunch everyday—usually a salad or sandwich and fruit and then most days I leave school at 4:45 to get to the gym for a workout class. Then by the time I get home at 7ish after the gym not much time for a heavy dinner so I do something light. This happens most everyday during the school year…ok well it happened after January most everyday when I got back to the gym………..well during the summer I have so much more time to eat than my 30 minute lunch during the school year so I can meet up with the hubby for lunch or friends. Then I have time to cook rich delish meals or meet up with friends for dinner. During the school year it is so easy for me to be like time to leave school and head to the gym, because by 4:45 I’m tired of being at school and the gym is good excuse (see how good I am at those) of getting out of school. Well, during the summer it’s harder for me to get motivated to stop organizing, watching tv, or blogging to change clothes and go to the gym…just not as eager to leave the house. Also, my schedule this summer has been crazy—I’m free a few days, then I have errands, or I have workshops, or I go to Ohio….looooong random story short I need to get back into a routine—that is where I thrive!</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="Comic Sans MS"> </font></p> <p><font size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">I am going to stop there, since some of my random things got long winded when I get on my excuse soap box :)</font></p> sanchezmemorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886675288135544130noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039539306605968272.post-92091154846542664802010-07-23T13:21:00.001-07:002010-07-23T13:38:42.153-07:00Five Question Friday.....I'm such a follower :)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TEn9v2uymNI/AAAAAAAAAG8/XUKf1xgYPJ8/s1600/fivequestion.png"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TEn9v2uymNI/AAAAAAAAAG8/XUKf1xgYPJ8/s320/fivequestion.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497203818769848530" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br />Like the title says I am a follower when it comes to blogging ideas.....hence this blog.

I haven’t blogged about it yet, because when I got home I hit the ground running and spent the last week organizing different rooms, closets, drawers, and cabinets in my house (can’t believe I still had it in me, after doing it for 3 weeks at my parents house!)…blog with pictures on my projects later..so stay tuned for those in an upcoming blog.</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Comic Sans MS"></font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Comic Sans MS">My parents moved to Ohio because my dad got relocated to Wright Patt Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. They bout a house that was built in the 1950’s from the man who built it (we got to meet him..he is 94!). The house has great bones, but just needs some updating. We spent our days unpacking box after box after box and deciding what DIY project we would work on. Since, my mom is a newly discovered Dishaholic we decided we should get the kitchen just the way she wants it (for the time being) and then unpack all her million kitchen boxes. So, we painted the walls a brown and we painted the kitchen cabinets a creamy white. Before this project I thought I wanted to paint my kitchen cabinets, not anymore…it is so difficult with cabinets because you have drips and they stick to what you paint on and all kinds of set backs…we will just get knobs for our cabinets and call it a day. Here are some pictures of the kitchen before and after:</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Comic Sans MS">Here are the before pictures (we had already taken the doors off the cabinets)</font></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TEUackK-Q4I/AAAAAAAAADY/s115xhjGNQs/s1600-h/IMGP0022%5B6%5D.jpg"><font size="3" face="Comic Sans MS"><img style="border-right-width: 0px;

The car was literally ready to burst… I was so close to the dash board I could of used it as a snack bar :) We gave Bailey and Abby a Benadryl to help them sleep along the way.  After getting the proper caffeine and snacks we were on our way. We made our first big stop in Tyler, Tx where we ate Whataburger at park there…which was so the dogs could stretch their legs and use the restroom. We then pushed on to Texarcana where we switched drivers…to ME!! I drove for the next 5 hours…stopping at a sonic (we had quality cuisine on this trip) The rest of the trip was a blur… I remember sleeping in a hotel parking lot for 3 hours before continuing on our journey to Ohio! This is when I discovered Jason had sent me to Ohio with a little bit of his cold… We got to Dayton, Ohio at 2 or 3..like I said it was a blur. They showed me around the house and then I went to lay down and woke up 13 hours later…I guess I had some drivers lag!</p> <p align="center">…here are some pictures that capture the essence of the trip…</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TCbg8oiQsdI/AAAAAAAAABY/v3b6aGtxgKQ/s1600-h/IMGP00016.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px;

Some things we have learned over the past couple weeks:</p> <p>-Houston is hot, but it sure felt good to have he AC in my car fixed!</p> <p>-catching up with college friends is a great thing and needs to happen more often!</p> <p>-Camp Honey Creek holds a little piece of my heart</p> <p>-playing name that artist is our new favorite road trip game :)</p> <p>-Ryan and Sara are the cutest couple ever (well besides us!)</p> <p>-Jason has added a waffle maker to his birthday wish list after making a 2 minute waffle at the Hampton Inn</p> <p>-it is hard to be productive when all you want to watch is Clean House marathons!</p> <p>-it is important to take time to visit and make time  for those you love!</p> <p>-sleepovers are sooo fun even at 24</p> <p>-there are 18 Christmas movies that are better than Fred Clause</p> <p>-there are more than just red and green grapes</p> <p>-Jason might be the key to the swine flu but a cold can still get through that<em> </em>immune system</p> <p>Instead of writing all the little details of what we have done the past two weeks….. I wanted to make a list :) Now I must make a to do list for tomorrow and Friday, or nothing will get done! I am leaving Saturday for a roadtrip to Ohio with my mom, cousin, and THREE LABS!!! That’s right 21 hours with 2 other people and 3 animals-this is going to be very interesting… I am sure more blogs will be posted about how that turns out :)</p> sanchezmemorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886675288135544130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039539306605968272.post-83306625741436470992010-06-04T22:20:00.001-07:002010-06-04T22:27:56.093-07:00sanchezmemorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886675288135544130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039539306605968272.post-51806347102739381872010-06-04T22:09:00.001-07:002010-06-04T22:09:50.048-07:00<p><a href="http://amazinglysensational.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/barley12.jpg"><img title="Barley" alt="" src="http://amazinglysensational.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/barley12.jpg?w=112&h=150" width="112" height="150" /></a></p> <p>this is how most of the day looked!</p> <dl><dt><a href="http://amazinglysensational.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/barley.jpg"><img title="Barley" alt="" src="http://amazinglysensational.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/barley.jpg?w=150&h=112" width="150" height="112" /></a></dt><dd>productive…I think not</dd></dl> <p>These pictures sum up the day I had….but if you would like to know more about it…please continue reading….</p> <p>So, like I said yesterday I would more than likely post again…not because something exciting or monumental happened, but because I’m bored and we can’t stream the netflix movie I wanted to because our PS3 controllers are at Jason’s brothers house… so what was plan b for the evening….update the world on how unproductive today was.</p> <p>I did wake up a little earlier this morning…just in time to see Russel Brand on the View…I think he is hilarious and I also think he and Katie Perry are cute and I hope they work out! Today was just like the past 2 days, I stayed here in my spot on the couch watching tv, except I found it more challenging to find something to watch on TV and we didn’t have anything to eat for lunch. So, I sunk to a new low and popped popcorn for lunch and watched Materials Girls…not the music video, but the movie with Hillary Duff and her sister, what’s her name Duff. I at first thought it said Mean Girls, so I stopped to watch…but then realized it was Hilary Duff and not Lindsey Lohan I was watching. I did end up watching it while I ate my popcorn….it was predictable- I give it a star and a half.</p> <p>The most productive thing I did today was discover how I could add our calendar to the side of the page here —> so check it out! Oh, yea I googled organizing closests if that counts <img alt=":)" src="http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" /></p> <p>I even coaxed our excersise loving house mate to come sit on the couch and watch some good ol Kirstie Alley reality tv…. I felt accomplished! Then Jason got home with his cute hair cut and we all went to Freddys Frozen Custard. We took a little site seeing tour…we showed her Pflugerville Lake and the Round Rock Dog Depot…where we found they have expanded the dog park and added an agility area. Hopefullywe will be going back with our doggies to check it out!</p> <p>Tomorrow we are heading to Houston for an engagment party for our friends Eric and Maggie!! Then Sunday I will be heading to camp to get in some missed Honey Creek before heading back for some NOT missed professional development!</p> <p>I will leave you with a quote from Material Girls “Ewww, You smell like Satan’s armpit!”</p> sanchezmemorieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886675288135544130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039539306605968272.post-73802074830704309652010-06-04T22:04:00.001-07:002010-06-04T22:04:58.342-07:00We will see how long this lasts….<p>This blog is titled amazinglysensational with the hopes that Jason will contribute to it…..but until then I am on summer break, so I will more than likely be posting in my boredom. I got the idea to start a blog (again- I had one when I was a freshman in college…it was real deep <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TAna9XPFSjI/AAAAAAAAAA8/RjECnckAUjw/s1600-h/clip_image001%5B5%5D.gif"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="clip_image001" border="0" alt="clip_image001" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_kzpndwGLq0Y/TAna9hc99tI/AAAAAAAAABA/EhMjBYpbEow/clip_image001_thumb.gif?imgmax=800" width="15" height="15" /></a>..) from our friends the Anderson’s (Kirk and Rebecca). I figured with our friends and family all over the place, why not create one spot where those who love us can catch up on our super exciting lives (well they are sometimes super exciting, the rest of the time they are just busy!)</p> <p>Like I said earlier I am on summer break, which started officially Tuesday at 4pm!! I have just been at home doing what the inner slob has been craving to do all year–sleep in until 11 and stay in my pajamas alllll day (this is why I am still up at 12:30…a cycle that needs to break) I just have one more day of living like that and then my summer of go here and then then there will begin. I am not going to list everything I am doing…maybe I can post the fancy calendar I made online during an hour today where I had already seen the episode of clean house and 19 kids and counting. Like I said we plan on using this blog to update people on our lives…so here are some updates:</p> <p><i>-we got a new dachsund his name is Barley… he has been a great addition to the family</i></p> <p><i>-we now have a roomate…well housemate (we don’t all share a room) her name is Lupe and she is super sweet!
