My Weekend Recap (A Selfish Post)

February 22, 2017

In case you’re absolutely dying to stop looking at your life for a few minutes and are just wanting to know about my life, here are some weekend recaps (I feel the need to say that I was being sarcastic).

New Orleans in San Antonio. A new restaurant called Nola Brunch & Beignets is opening up here around the neighborhood. Hip-hip-hooray! If the country continues to our city to lower our obesity rate: it’s not happenin’ man.

My friend Jacki does not like fishy-looking things, so when she was served a big whopper of a crab leg…yikes.

The brunch crew, minus our friend April. Miss you, April!

Then, one of my wonderful friends, Sabrina, told her family she was pregnant! Yay! All captured on raw video, unfortunate for us, this webpage does not support raw. Insert sad face here.

Then, sadly, my 2002 Jetta needed some costly repairs. My husband and I decided to go get my first “new” vehicle. You see, it’s really a first for me; I have never financed a car before, I loved the #gazelleintensity of having freedom of no car payments for the past ten years. We snowballed all of this straight into our student loans. Fortunately for both of us, we got a raise, and we are able to save up for a car that’s a better commuter car for me. I drive 60 miles/day to do  travel therapy in my own car before I jump into the company car’s. So, needless to say, I bought my dream car…

When your husband takes you on a random photo shoot on your way home from buying the car, you say yes, no matter the lack of makeup or hairdo, you just gotta do it.

Yeah, I had no idea we were matching 0_0

Ahhh..home at last. Staying inside after we had 4 tornado warnings and heavy thunderstorms. I don’t do calligraphy professionally, but I try to sit down now and then to decompress and relax with calligraphy, the same way people do with coloring.

To say I feel utmostly blessed is such a bottom-level feeling of what happened. I am so in awe in God, and I know that it’s easier to see Him when He provides, but I just want to write down that He rewarded me immensely this weekend with friends, family, and a car, and I am oh-so-happy.

Live loved,

New Book Update: The Year Without a Purchase

Earlier this month, I began reading The Year Without a Purchase: One Family’s Quest to Stop Shopping and Start Connecting by Scott Dannemiller, and I must say, I am finding it quite surprising. Dannemiller, so far, has good writing talent. He makes common things funny and relatable, and touches on points right away. I have not […]

2016 Intentions

Hey, all! I believe we all should continue to add on to our intentions to outline our 2016. I am a strong believer in the written word; I make things happen only when I do this. It is sometimes difficult to sit down and take about 30 minutes out of your day to create this […]
