Double the Trouble

(Im not done writing on this blog, but its time for me to start round 3 of this weekends shindigs, Ill update at the end of the weekend!)
Happy 4th of July everyone! Have fun and most of all BE SAFE! :-)

Neon Moon is a place to go with friends and do some boot scootin' boogie, but not when ur the oldest people at the bar! I think Im still on the safe side because I was the youngest in my group! Does that count?

Did you know that Roanoke has a Tavern? Yep, it does! Who knew that one day I would be bar hopping in Roanoke, Texas! 






Engagement celebration lunch with the girls @ Mi Cocina In Las Colinas. 
For some reason we didn't get a big group pic of everyone! 
Alicia and I on our 2nd round of 4th of July weekend festivities! 
So extremely HOT outside, but we managed to get inside and have a little relief from the heat. it was well after 11pm and we were still dripping in sweat! Eck!
I will not reveal any names on here, but obviously our friend has had a little too much to drink and decided to park himself right next to the truck..in the drive way...Niiice! 
Look at this ridiculousness! Of all places for Lola to fall asleep she has to do it right next to my head. We have an entire BIG bed now and she still manages to take up my space!

My 'gggeerrrrr' face!
I was told it wasnt my best look! blahahahaha! 
This weekend ended up being more eventful than I had planned. I wasn't in the mood for too much fun because my head has been in a cloud for the past week. But I have good friends who won't let me sit around and have my pity party for one.
 I'm just so irritated. My progress has been really good and then with one wave of a hand I'm down and have taken several steps back. Thats not cool. It's not right and it's not fair. It's okay...It's just a minor set back! No biggie! It's so not worth it! I have so much more to look forward to! 

Joe Jonas gets it right! See no more

Pool time!
being kidnapped to go swimming isnt so bad! 
This weekends festivities were fun! I was surrounded by good people, good eats and most of all had a lot of fun! Sun, pool, beer pong, some kind of bean bag game, texas country music and some good ol' texas two steppin', big trucks and lots of laughs. Met some really awesome new people! Oh, but this heat was ridiculous. Just sitting with no wind was miserable. Friday night there was absolutely no breeze and thank goodness for the pool because there was no relief. Saturday was so much better. There was a slight breeze, but later into the evening the breeze disappeared.

Grapevine Lake
Grapevine Lake 



Grapevine lake was amazingly packed with people ready to see the fireworks from Gaylord. I have never seen the fireworks from Grapevine. I normally go to Lonestar to see the fireworks and that's where I have been going for years. I had an awesome view of the show and thank goodness for the amazing breeze that was coming off from the lake! It would have been even more awesome to be on a boat watching the fireworks, but I wasn't about to complain. I was pretty happy to be where I was.

death to our sparklers, not a single one left! 
We burned through 200+ sparklers and lit off a 'fish bowl' even though there was a burn ban and I felt like a true rebel. I was ready to scatter in case the police decided to show up... I am not about to pay a 400 dollar ticket for shooting off fireworks during a burn ban...hahahaha.
Loved the weekend I had. It was calm, relaxing yet fun and spontaneous! Now it's time to get back on track and focus on what's in front of me. I like what I see so far! ;-)


Orientation is July 7! Yah!!! First day of school is July 11! Alicia's birthday is this Friday and Ashley's bachelorette party is July 16 which I am so super excited about because I KNOW it's going to be so MUCH FUN! 4 days after the bachelorette party we leave for Puerto Rico! I dont know how much longer I can stand to wait for this!! It's been such a long time coming! And it's approaching quickly! (but not quickly enough) Once I get back from my P/R trip I will be getting my car back! Thank goodness because I've missed her! I have lots of distractions and lots of good things to look forward to!

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

I'm being selfish

This week has been a whirlwind of emotions that I struggle to articulate. Attending the funeral of a childhood friend's father, who passed away unexpectedly, opened floodgates of nostalgia and sadness. We shared a bond through our mutual love for horseback riding, receiving our first ponies almost simultaneously. While we've drifted apart as adults, the news hit me hard. Our parents, similar in age and pursuits, faced the unimaginable loss of a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Witnessing my friend's grief and contemplating my own future in their shoes brought tears of empathy and fear. The inevitability of losing loved ones, a reality we often push aside, looms ominously. Reflecting on my relationship with my family, I realize how it's evolved over the years. From distant ties to a profound dependency, I now find solace and support in them daily. When my father suffered a heart attack, I was thrust into a surreal state of emotional numbness, only to cr...

Wow, it’s been a while since my last post in April! This year has been a whirlwind—it’s incredible how time flies. Big milestone: I turned 40! I still can’t believe it. I don’t feel 40, though; my mind says 20, but my body sometimes feels 70. 😅 I was lucky to celebrate with my family and closest friends, and my parents surprised me with my very first Louis Vuitton. She’s stunning! I also completed my MSF course, which means I can legally ride my motorcycle now! I recently took my Triumph Bonneville T120 on its first solo ride to work. It was nerve-wracking but exhilarating, and I’m hooked! My next dream bike is the Triumph Scrambler, so I can join my husband on some dirt road adventures. Unfortunately, I got hit with a really bad bug and was in bed for a week, which wiped out all my PTO for the year. This year marked our 10th wedding anniversary, and my parents gifted us a trip to Italy! With no more PTO left, we’ve had to push it to next year, but honestly, I feel good about having ...
