Fair Weather Walks - Prayers for OSU

Thanks to Hurricane Patricia Texas has finally moved into the Fall season!  We’ve been getting some rain lately, but the last few days have been perfect!  Jordan and I have been trying to take advantage of the nice weather by going on more walks and even a bike ride!  We own two beautiful bikes and it’s nice to be able to use them!

Here are a few pictures from a recent walk.  Abby is not a fan of selfies. She could care less and is easily distracted (especially outdoors). Squirrel!

Below Pics: Jordan and I on our snazzy bikes.  We can go much further on the bikes than we can walking so we get to see much more of the surrounding neighborhoods.  I was prepared for my legs to hurt afterward, but instead my rear-end hurt!  I don’t remember bicycle seats being so uncomfortable as a kid…

I also want to share a few pictures from last weekend.  It was a stormy and gloomy weekend, but despite that, we went out for sushi with some friends to celebrate their birthday!  We tried a new place in Rockwall called Edo Sushi.  It was good food, but the service was terrible!  I recommend this place only if you’re in a small group (no mandatory gratuity) or if you do to-go foods.


Below is a picture of the sushi our table ordered.  We ordered way too many rolls and ended up taking some home.  It’s hard to tell how big the rolls will be at a new place, but my favorite was the Scallop Volcano Roll!  Yum!
We ordered:
Salmon Roll
Spicy Scallop Roll
Twister Roll (jalapenos!)
Salmon Valentine Roll
Scallop Volcano Roll

After sushi, our friends were planning to go bowling at a place call Shenanigans.  Well, Shenanigans ended up being PACKED so we opted to go to Bar Louie instead. 
 
Top Right: I wore these lovely high heels with the full knowledge that I would only be wearing them for the short time between arrival and putting on bowling shoes.  Since we scrapped the bowling idea, I ended up wearing them all night!  It wasn’t too bad and totally worth the cuteness.  I love high heels but I don't wear them as often anymore.    
Bottom Right: Jordan and I shared some sliders from Bar Louie.  The sliders were delicious, but their garlic ranch sauce was amazing!

Here are a few pictures of the gang!
Bottom Right (L to R): Jordan, Me, Steffany, and Dustin

That’s about all I have time for tonight.  Please pray for Stillwater, OK in the aftermath of the horrible car accident at their homecoming parade on the 24th.  It was such a tragic event and our hearts go out to the families affected!  TTU plays OSU this Saturday and whether we win or lose, OSU has our support! 

Here is a picture of our rivaling mascots for your viewing pleasure!

Cheese it Up

Sometimes I feel like Jordan and I live for the weekends.  We are very blessed to have each other, jobs that we both enjoy, an adorable pup, and a pretty house, so we definitely  enjoy the week days.  It's just that the weekends are when the action happens!  I don't know if we rest more during the week or the weekends! Last weekend was no exception.  We managed to strike the right balance of being productive while still having some leisure time.  Those are my favorite kind of weekends because that's a really tough balance to get! We recently planted some new flowers around our house which was a big chore.  I always get the spring bug this time of year (not the sickness).  I can't help it!  I don't have any sort of green thumb so I suppose this spring tradition will continue for years to come.  In the short time that we've had these pretty flowers, we've spent a lot more time outside.  The nice weather helps too!   Here's the run down of our new pl

July 4th with Family

Happy July 4th...or 14th.  It's taken me a while to get around to sharing pictures from our Independence Day celebration but I've got 30+ pictures of family food and fun to share! There is no other holiday quite like the 4th of July in America!  Everyone takes off work to enjoy delicious food (and cold drinks), BBQ, and the faint smell of explosives in the air --- those bombs bursting in air! This year was even sweeter than previous years because my brother, Andy, and his family flew to Texas for a long visit!  I was so thrilled to see them all! Top Left: I do love a little flare!  I got a pedicure before the holiday and decided to go with a patriotic theme.  The design looks almost like a Wonder Woman theme which is equally awesome. Top Right: My brother, Scott, with his pup Lucy.  She is laser focused on the lake smells in this picture. Bottom Left: Me, my niece, Kenley, and Lucy!  Lucy sure has grown so much from when she was a puppy (see her Chri

Doodles and Drawings

Image
I've continued to have fun with my Tombow calligraphy markers that I talked about on my Tombow Watercolor post.  Pinterest is rich with unique and interesting art!  I've found that it's extremely relaxing to sit down and doodle with my markers while sipping quality wine and listening to some music.  It makes for a messy kitchen table but I feel very chill and in my own element! The only new piece of art I have to share is this "hustle" poster I made for a friend.  I began by playing with the texture of watercolor paper (verses usually using "media" paper).  The water and markers react completely different depending on the surface and paper.  I ended up with this woodland-ish doodle. Leaves are probably not the most interesting focus, but I had fun playing with the different shades of greens and browns along with the various textures of leaves.  I have so many shades of markers so it was a great opportunity to use them all!  For fun, I even
