Christmas!

We had lots of fun with our niece & nephews in Georgia.

Then we headed to England. My first time home in 2 years and I got to meet my niece Ava

My Two favourite people. EVER

I tried to fit her in my suitcase to bring her back to Texas, needless to say i was a little over my baggage allowance.

Back to Georgia we went.

and then we headed back to Texas... 16 hours riding in a car nearly killed me but it was all worth it!

New Year's Resolutions

I am so bad at keeping any resolutions I have ever made so I'm hoping this year is different.


1. Keep all of my resolutions.
2. Learn a new language fluently.
3. Keep running and attempt a half marathon.
4. Save enough to start adoption process or for a downpayment on a house.
5. Stress less
6. Try a new recipe atleast once a week.

Let's check back next year see how well i do.

My Sister's Wedding in Cyprus

My Sister's wedding was absolutely beautiful, so was Cyprus. We had a blast

"B" is for the Beach!

So we decided to do a half day trip to Port Aransas, TX on labour day. I loved it. So many people told me how Texas beaches weren't great at all, I guess they might not be unless you grew up swimming in the north sea. I loved it.

We spent a few hours at the beach then decided to drive back through Corpus Christi, Texas and stopped to eat. It was a great day and I'm sad we left in til the end of summer to discover Port Aransas.

So long Texas!!!

Ok so we have decided to leave Texas. To where we are not sure. We will be leaving in December to head to south Georgia to spend some time with his family, I will probably stay there whilst B is away for Military school, and then next spring we will head to one of these amazing places!

B has applied to schools in NYC, Washington DC and Raleigh, NC. I am so excited to find out where we will go. It's a little frustrating that we won't find out until November time, but that's half of the excitement.

"A" is for Austin

So yesterday we started our first letter in our alphabet adventure challenge. We decided to start with something free and easy, which was Austin. We haven't explored too much of downtown yet so we thought it would be a good idea (especially since we have decided to move next summer and won't be in Texas as long as we originally thought).
  So we started off by heading to the capitol building to explore, it was pretty cool to go inside and look and the building was beautiful.

 After lunch we decided to hang out by the lake and find some shade. It wasn't the best day to be walking around in the sun (100f/38c) Now thats hot!

I took in the beauty of the Frost Bank building like I do everytime I see it.

We then headed to SoCo which is my favourite part of downtown Austin, It's just so diverse. We decided to go find some cowboy boots. There are some amazing pairs, It was like art... but on cowboy boots.

This pair where a crazy $2400

We then went to get some dinner at Home Slice Pizza which was AHHHHmazing! and I lost my canoli virginity... my life will never be the same!

I was tempted to get a cupcake for dessert but I was STUFFED! Next time maybe.

and that was 'A'... I can't wait for 'B'.

*oh and if you didn't notice I chopped all of my hair off, It was getting in my way*

A-Z

So I feel so stuck in a rut lately, B and I never do anything exciting anymore so I am taking a challenge, an idea I got from a book I read. We will have a different "Adventure" based on the letters of the alphabets. I wanted to do one each weekend, but I don'r really see that happening.
Anyway I am really excited to start this and hopefully we will get it all done before we leave Austin next summer, or hopefully before B goes away for his military school beginning of next year.
