jumping out of a plane!!!

So, last saturday my mother made an appointment to go and jump out of a perfectly good airplane. My dad bought this for her a while ago and she finally made time for it! I wish I could have been there with you mom, but I can't wait for the video! I am glad you made it up and down safely! GO MOM!

Project Runway

As So you think you can Dance gets to the final few dancers, my other, most favoritest show begins! PROJECT RUNWAY!!! YAY! I have seen the first two episodes thus far and so far I think I have 2 favs. I like suede, he is kinda a rocker, talks about himself in the 3rd person but I think he has some good talent. But I think the girl that is gonna get it all is gonna be the blonde chick, Kelli. She is funky but makes sweet, beautiful things that I would LOVE to wear!

Man I need to learn how to sew, then I could make my own clothes and not have to spend all my money on buying everyone elses!

so the movie post was ryan's attempt at posting something for the first time......

there is a political cartoon song that has been played on the TODAY show which you can find on jibjab.com. it is actually kind of funny and clever but a little cras. anyway, you can cut and paster your face on one of the cartoons so that "you can appear in a movie!" haha. anyway, i was proud of him for at least posting...FINALLY but i dunno how to work the movie stuff so i can't fix it. but like i said you can go to the website and see the movie we were talking about.

Of course, ryan's first post is political. sooo typical.

think real hard....

i wasn't too sure of posting this like most of you have already said, but then i though, "what the heck!"

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Im In A MOVIE!!! Watch the whole thing..But make sure and pause the music further down on the page.. You dont wanna miss this...

i LOVE summer!!

This weekend ryan and I were looking forward to another mini vacation. I was especially looking forward to getting out of the store for a weekend because all of June and July I had to work EVERY weekend so I definately needed some time to just relax and have some fun!

We got together a group of friends we have out here in college station and planned on a weekend to go float the river. Now, if you are unfamiliar with the whole floating the river idea, let me fill ya in. Every summer when the water is warm, 1,000's of people flock to the guadalupe river, rent some tubes, pack some coolers and enjoy floating your happy hineys down to river. The float can last as long as you wish, anywhere from a couple of hours up to 5 or 6. Some of you may think it is boring and sounds pretty silly that all of these people live for this stuff but I have to say, it is quite relaxing and entertaining.



Anyway, Ryan and I took the day off Friday to get the weekend started early. We drove out to New Braufels and arrived at the riverhouse at about 11 am. This house was so cute! Mr. Evans, the gentleman who opened up his house to us, had it decorated inside and out with University of Texas stuff. He had a burnt orange chevy sitting in the driveway, UT curtains, paintings, toilet seat, I mean everything. Mr. E is a pretty cool guy too. He actually had a house up the street that he actually lives in so he just has the river house so he can have people come and visit and it located RIGHT on the river! So you walk out the back door, down the stairs and hop right into the river. Nice.



I keep getting off track. Sorry. So once Ryan and I got to the house we got our tubes and got ready for float #1. Tim, one of our friends made a radio river proof so as we enjoyed the beautiful view we could also enjoy our country music. There were a couple of rapids we had to maneuver through but at the end of the four hours we all made it in one piece back to the trucks.




Then Saturday we woke up ate some breakfast waited for a couple more friends to join us and started the float all over again. After float #2, we all made it again safely down the river headed back to the house and got ready to go into Gruene and enjoy some AMAZING mexican food at Adobe Verde. It was very yummy! After dinner we just came back to the house and made our way to bed. All that time in the sun can really wear ya out! All in all Ryan and I had lots of fun and really enjoyed ourselves and time we had together.

I just love summer! We have had a very busy July and it isn't over yet! We have one more vacation planned for the last week of july/first week of august to celebrate our ONE YEAR anniversary! I can't even believe how fast this first year has flown by!

the bachelorette

being the sucker for reality television that i am i watched every episode of the bachelorette this season and WOW! i cannot believe that deanna picked jesse! i do think that he is extreemly down to earth and will, no matter what, always be himself. but i will say that i totally thought from the beginning that deanna would pick jason. i was truly surprised. However, i was soooo happy to see how in love the two of them were in the after the rose episode. they were absolutely adorable. they couldn't stop smiling, saying i love you, holding hands, kissing each other.....you can tell they are in it forever. yay for jesse and deanna!! i hope they film their wedding on the show as well!

now i will continue to watch, So You Think You Can Dance.....

4th of July

For the 4th we had a few things planned. We heard that a couple of Texas country bands were playing out at our favorite restraunt on lake brayn. So we called a few friends and all made our way out to the lake to hear Jason Bolland and Honey Brown sing us into the evening. It was nice to hang out with some friends and just enjoy ourselves. I just wish there were some fireworks. College Station had a big production planned so I think Bryan didn't want to try to compete with their "twin city." Even though there was no fireworks display where we were we had a lot of fun two-stepping the night away.


And one of the band members from the Jason Bolland Band looks just like John Redcorn from King of the Hill. We found it kind of funny so I proceeded to document with photos.
Then saturday, after I got off work, Ryan and I packed up the truck and headed out to Austin to visit my best friend, christa! She moved that moved away to nashville a few years ago was going to be in town visiting with some friends so I told her we would definitley come see her! I have been to austin a couple of times but it was just to the track at the university so I had never really seen the "hill country." It is so beautiful out there! I am sure I was pretty annoying to Ryan as he was driving because I was freaking out about how high up we were in the hills and I just kept imagining our truck flying off the side of the cliff and crashing into the water. I don't know why I was so jumpy! We finally arrived to the condo and Christa and I picked up right where we left off. We stayed up until about 5 am just catching up on life and love and everything else under the sun. We finally got a couple hours of shut eye and then it was up and at 'em and out to the lake. They skiied and I watched, soaking up every little bit of sun I could. That water is so green and clear, truly the most beautiful lake I have been to. Once we were done on the boat it was time to pack up and get on the road but Ryan and I wanted to play in the sun just alittle bit more so we found a spot and setup shop. After about an Hour we decided we should really get on the road this time. It was a fabulous 4th and we had a lot of fun this weekend.

Ryan and I being akward and silly.

rainy days

The other day we were expecting some pretty bad weather and hoping that it would actually rain here, it was getting pretty dry! Ryan was in the office working and I was in the living room watching t.v. when all of a sudden a loud boom of thunder sounded off outside. Harley jumped up and went running to hide. Ryan and I both cracked up laughing cause you could hear his nails tapping the tile and wood all the way to his hiding place. He usually runs into the bedroom and sits with his back in a corner so he can see everything. This time he went running into the guest bathroom and jumped right into the bathtub! Hahaha! It was just too cute! I always thought he hated the bathtub, especially when the shower curtain is closed. Apparently he has found a new hiding place.

Fresh Start

For anyone out there who ever looks at this blog-a-licious blog, I am sure you noticed I started all over! From my last post on the previous blog titled, "help!" I was expressing some frustrations I was having with the new background and text and all that good stuff. So, instead of trying to fix, un-fix, redo and then undo everything, I just said screw it and deleted the blog and started all over. Now, I am getting things put back how I REALLY want them. I am no wiz at this so I figured it was just easier. That and I am kinda picky and a aslight perfectionist so I dont want anything out there that isn't exactly what/how I want it.

Thank you to those who gave me their knowledge on how to tweak the blog!
