The Cleanse!

Well, in all effort to preform an amazing cleanse last week, I consider myself to have not done up to my best. I'm a pretty disciplined person but in every challenge is a learning lesson and my learning lesson is that I like to eat!!! And I'm a pretty good eater- i just like to do it with healthy food. The process has been 2 shakes a day with 1 400-600 calorie meal in between. and 2 days of just liquid. that is the day I sadly gave in to my hunger! I drove to Houston that day and stopped at a gas station and picked up a bag of gardettos!!! Awe man, and I felt so guilty. Traveling while cleansing is a challenge!! So anyways, fall off track and just get back up and start again!

Richard and I are doing well, but definitely not perfect! I guess the point is to always try...success is just one failure after another until you achieve the desired result. Here's to failing!!! ;0

Pure Happiness and New boots!

Being Groomed

Well, I have to say it's a win this year for Cat's team. The Longhorns beat the Sooners this year. Poor Bradford - out early in the game. As a competitor myself and someone who loves to win, I can only imagine what it was like for him to have to sit out that game. I guess given Grace really could care less until she gets a little older, the winning parent gets to dress her in the winning team attire!! So enjoy this year's win and Hook Em Horns!

New posts are coming!!

It's been a little busy lately so be patient with me as I update the blog soon!

The Lemur!

Going to see the Wizard!

Richard and I were invited to an exclusive event at one of the top leaders homes in Kansas this past weekend! So we thought what better opportunity than to attend this event and allow Grace to experience a little traveling. So we took a road trip to Kansas- a 5 1/2 hour trip north! And boy, was I impressed with Grace's traveling skills. After a long and hard thought process of where does she sleep, we bought a porta crib mattress that fit perfectly in the pack n play and packed that up to take along with us. We stayed in a suite like hotel that had a bedroom and kitchen and it was great. She did so well on the road and we loved traveling with our little munchkin. she loved riding the elevators! And dont' think for a moment that Grace slept in while on vacation. not a chance. up at 7 am every morning! But the best part of the trip was going to the Safari park they had about 20 miles from where we were staying. followed by a special event with our company leaders. Here are a few pics from visiting the animals on Sat morning. We were allowed to feed the animals and even walk around in their area. it was really cool!

Save those receipts!

Richard and I are so excited about the tax return we are getting this year simply by having a home based business!! We never knew all the normal expenses that we are using anyways could be a tax deductible expense just b/c we operate a business out of our home! wow!!! Cell phone, utilities, housekeeping, travel, tons of stuff! We are so excited, I just had to share!
