Welcome!

This little blog started on our wedding website, which kept family and friends up to date on the planning and details. Of course this is where we will provide all of the recaps of the wedding and everything after. We look forward to keeping family and friends up to date on our lives here in Texas and all of the adventures we share as newlyweds!

Beaches calling my name....

I just have to get through the week this week and then it's vacation week to Florida. It could not come quick enough after the month that July has turned into.

Just counting down the hours now.

Why? Why? Why?

Well let’s just say that due to my posting absence I am guessing you can assume that last week didn’t get better as it went along, at least in terms of work (Mom & Dad did arrive safely from their cross country drive to TX)…

I promised myself that when I started this that it would not be some venting avenue for me like some of the personal blogs out there…so rather I am going with a thought of the day today as things just continue to more or less suck!

Thought of the day: Why is it that corporate offices that have no idea what you are doing day to day hundreds of miles away just roll out new programs and expect you to drop everything and make sure that people are “compliant” when the system isn’t even set up to function correctly?! It is weeks like the past 2 that I have had that I really sit back and wonder why people can’t just think before they act and create more problems for me on a day to day basis….

Here’s hoping things get a little better…key word there being hoping.

Wow today has been a day...

I am not one to generally look too far into horoscopes, however recently they have seemed to be pretty dead on....after the day that I have had today (too awful to even think about any more)....I am hoping that my weekly career horoscope maybe mixed up Monday with Tuesday because of the holiday weekend. In any case I am going to pretend today was Monday so that the stars will align and apparently get better.

Capricorn

For the week of July 5-11: Uranus goes retro on Monday, starting a trend that will complete itself early in December. You think seriously about the pros and cons of leasing/renting versus buying property or other big-ticket items. You carefully examine the numbers and go into each negotiation well prepared. The only surprises that occur this week will be positive, as far as your career and finances go. Monday may be a roller coaster ride, but the rest of the week looks very positive. You get traction in deals that had been given up for dead, but unexpectedly reanimate. You make money from investments that had begun to seem like bad bets. A partner or colleague may need some time off or "time to think," most likely between the weekend and the next couple weeks. A new partner or colleague may step in and pick up the slack, possibly becoming a permanent staffer.

Fingers crossed!!!

Rain, Rain, and more Rain

Well this is not what I was looking forward to while Rene was in Las Vegas....lots and lots of RAIN!

It has not stopped all week and on the weather today they said expect a wet holiday weekend....

Here I was thinking that I got away from the hurricanes when we moved from Florida but this is the 2nd summer that we are "feeling the effects" of the hurricanes that have passed us. Maybe we should have just stuck it out there in Florida after all...
