A Whole New World...Texas

Justin and I went to Texas this weekend and we got our fill of fun for the next century.  We never would have guessed the shannanigans that ensue in south Texas and it’s probably good that we didn’t.  Let me tell you, boys in Texas are FUN and that’s all that I can really say to describe them.  

The weekend began with boating adventures on the “beautiful” channels of the Gulf of Mexico.  Not nearly as beautiful as I had imagined.  Apparently in Texas, you can drive on the beach and that pollutes the water.   Eeeww.  After boating we went out for some good old fashioned Texas burgers.  I’m pretty sure that I’ve never eaten something that had such artery clogging potential in my life...only in Texas.  We finished the evening by washing the burgers down with many many drinks.  

There must be something magical about Texas because we woke up in the morning feeling bright and chipper and ready to see the air show.  The planes were amazing and the show was unreal.  To date, it was the best airshow that I’ve ever been to.  Granted, I’ve only been to two. 

Overall Texas was filled with good friends both old and new, lots of sun and a bit of liver damage.  Cheers to that!

Playing Wife

The past few weeks I've been playing wife like a champ.  Coming home to cook, clean and take care of the pup has been my M.O.  Playing wife has been quite fun, however I'm beginning to wonder how long I'm supposed to keep up the charade.  What Justin fails to realize is that I am in fact, not a very good cook and sometimes I come home to find that the pup doesn't seem to have been fed that morning.  When is the time to pull the wool away from his eyes to let him know that I actually am quite irresponsible?  Is this whole getting married thing all about keeping up appearances?

Justin also seems to think that in addition to playing wife, I also play comedian.  I am not entirely sure why he thinks I'm so hilarious, however I'm not complaining.  Previously, the only person besides myself to think that I had any sense of humor was my mom (and she has to say that...thanks Mom!)  Perhaps he has also pulled the wool over my eyes and has allowed me to think that I am indeed the most hilarious person of the household.

Burritos y Horchata

Yesterday Justin and I sat reflecting at a local Santa Cruz taqueria on an amazing afternoon where we took our engagement photos.  Not only did we have an amazing day, but we also experienced a world record in holding "the longest kiss ever."  While at the taco shop I ordered my typical, burrito y "orch-attta" throwing in my best spanglish accent.  No matter how hard I try, I cannot seem to get the pronunciation of that word correct.  I'm always corrected by the spanish speaker by the counter repeats in his perfect spanish accent "OK so one burrrrrito y horchata."  Dang, he beat me again.


On another note, the horchata did live up to it's delicious name.  Mmmmm...creamy full of fat and sugar delicious drink of the Mexican Gods...thank you.

Prepping for Wine Wednesday

Wine Wednesday's have been put to a halt in the absence of Jen, but soon they will resume upon Jens homecoming next week.  In preparation for wine Wednesday, Justin and I cracked open a practice bottle of wine last night to make sure we were still in "shape".  After all, practice makes perfect.  Typically on wine Wednesdays the wine bottles start out with the good wine, but end with the cheap stuff.  Last night however, we started with the cheap stuff knowing that we should not continue on for very long.  We were able to work out the kinks in our strategy for next week and I feel fully prepare for the kickoff of wine Wednseday's once again.  I plan for next week to be the most epic wine Wednesday ever...which usually means that Thursday will be unfortunate.
