Where has the year gone?

We've already gone through the first week of August?! Where has the year gone? I feel like just a few weeks ago I was typing up a posting about the progress on my new years resolutions and now we are getting ready to finish up the last month of summer?



I think that is so funny thinking back about being in school when I was little and counting down the last 100 days of school waiting for summer break and wishing that things would go faster, and now each year I wish that time would somewhat slow down. Yet the days just keep rolling by quicker and quicker each year.

I love the Dallas heat but this summer has been super HOT! I can't remember the last time that we had a day where the temperature was not triple digits and I know that Stitch will be looking forward to the cooler days of autumn as well.


But August is a great month in Dallas of course, why?? Because with it comes Dallas Restaurant Week of course! This year Rene and I will be trying out 2 new places. Chamberlin's (in Dallas) and Ferre (in Fort Worth). It will be nice to have 2 little date nights before Rene goes into busy season again and starts traveling every week again and before I start into the fall semester and my weekends are consumed by classes and homework.

The New Mr. and Mrs. Waters

After being MIA for a bit I am back! But I was gone for good reason of course!
My congratulations go out to the newest of my married friends Mrs. Waters!

Rene and I had a great time at their wedding July 24th in Boca Raton Florida....after of course a 12+ hour trip from Dallas no thanks to Delta Airlines (which we will never ever fly again....unless there is a huge super deal).

Our warmest wishes to them both!

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.
