tio time

Miran! Mami y papi! No les precupen, estoy bien con mis tios!

Here's some mama loves for you Chal, because although I know you must be in heaven down in Mexico, how can you not miss your teenie texers!?!?

As soon as he got here, he was OBSESSED with Ryan's fish. FISH, FISH, FISH.... and on and on, until Ry got home from work and was able to take it off the wall for him to love.

He had to give it a kiss.

Then they read about all sorts of wildlife (and of course fish) in Eastman's Hunting Journal. Do you like our selection of children's books?

Then it was wrestle mania for the next half hour.

Then bath time, which turned into tsunami of the bathroom. HE is the fish! No wonder he is obsessed with those creatures!

Then it was time for more fish. "Ryannie fish? FISH! fish? FISH!" So, they watched fishing clips on the internet. One right after another.

Then it was time for bed.

So, mami y papi , while you WILDE children (in more ways than one...) are romping and roaming in mexi land, rest assured, your child is safe, happy, and sleeping soundly here in winter land. Miss you, but pretty much you are out of sight out of mind in your child's world. But, that's how it should be, cuz that way you know he's not sad. See you soon!

You cannot be grateful and bitter.

You cannot be grateful and unhappy.

You cannot be grateful and without hope.

You cannot be grateful and unloving.

So just be grateful.

year mark

Happy one year anniversary to us! This past year has flown. I can't believe it. But, it's been a good one and I could not be more happy and content than I am right now. So, thank you Ry, for being such a great husband and companion to me.

And in honor of that year mark we checked ourselves into a little hidden treasure in San Diego on PB (pacific beach). It's right on the beach, cute, quaint, very clean, and close to lots of fun places.... many of which we became familiar and made lots of friends.

looking off our balcony, theres our ocean calling us

ryan's great camera abilities

it can't be much better than life on the beach

It is so easy for us both to switch into beach bum mode, so, having fun, relaxing, meeting friends, and soaking in the sun... it was all wonderful, and we indulged. Now it is back to reality, work, and another great year of marriage. To us...

That's it.

newsflash

Hey everyone! It's Chal's birthday today!

I just want to wish you a wonderful birthday. I am sure this coming year will be full of adventures and memories that will go down in history and be talked about for a lifetime, just like all the others. I love you my friend and am so grateful your sun shines on my life everyday... not just on TV!

take that bcs!

Need I say more?

note to self

Dear Self,

Next time you decide to spend the afternoon with RHB in the PC (park city) and you're enjoying a nice lunch together and the conversation flips to how pasty white we both are and how much we both just really NEED to tan STAT.... well, maybe just maybe reconsider the impulse to find the nearest tanning salon at Kimball Junction just cuz it's such a great idea!

ok. so this is a bit extreme, but just remember, either one of you could look like this next time...

stick with what ya know, k? your local xotic tanning salon in the dc is sufficient enough for your tanning needs and that high pressure bed with NO burning rays will take great care of your pasty whiteness.

xoxo,

self
