Remember the Picture

In honor of "Remember the Alamo", I wanted to do "Remember the Picture" at the Alamo. I have a picture of Justine and I at the Alamo in June of 2006. I thought, "How fun would it be to recreate the same picture and see how we have changed while we are there."
Enough said.


BEFORE
(June, 2006):

AFTER 
(October, 2010):

What a difference 4 years can make. Justine is wearing blue shirts in both pictures. lol.

Orange Cup

Tonight my family and I walked around this shopping center in San Antonio, TX. My brother Joe and I went to this place called Orange Cup. It serves frozen yogurt. 

I loved everything about it! 


Healthy, modern/clean design, fun, and "green" all at the same time. Joe said that the interior reminded him of an Apple store....this is a good comparison. The worker was so nice and gave us samples to try of the 4 frozen yogurt flavors there. You can add healthy mix-ins with your frozen yogurt or you can get it blended like a smoothie. They had this thing where you can plug in your iPod and play your own music in the store. Joe plugged his phone into it and it worked. Maybe everywhere does this, but this is the first time I have seen it.  I will posts pics later of my own experience there, but here are some off their website. A very cool website too.

A bride you will never forget

Look at this wedding dress. Dramatic. Can't decide if I love it or hate it. It is a piece of art if I do say so myself. More for a runway rather than a wedding in the midwest!

a time to visit family

I am going to San Antonio with my family to visit more family(Thursday-Monday). We will all be together again just like this picture (minus the sledding and snow activity):

Justine (my little sis) and I were down there in 2005 or 2006. We stopped in San Antonio for the night before we went to Monterry, Mexico for a missions trip. I want us to recreate this pirctures to see how we have changed! I think that would be fun.

Hopefully I will come back with fun stories and pics for my blog! Everyone have a good weekend.

For your home

Hello, these chairs are so fun! Pantone color folding chairs. You can find them here. Amazing. I think only designers will get this...but if you aren't a designer and think these are creative and awesome...I commend you!

Where I envision these chairs going:
-an art studio
-a design agency
-a "white-walled" apartment where you can't paint
-as dinning room chairs, with tables that are similar to these:

Cool huh?!?

A new hair do

I wanted to do my hair with a little braid in the front to hold my bangs back for my symphony concert. I watched this video and did the first option (rope braid/french twist) she shows. She makes it look so easy to do. It is really challenging. 


I practiced doing my hair like this all day and it was a disaster. Practice paid off, and this is how my hair turned out for the concert. Pretty darn good I think:

Wish list #2

I have been obsessed with this font. It is called Liza Pro, by Underware.
I have been researching it and learning about it and I want it on my computer. so. bad. 
But it is not in the budget (thanks Dave Ramsey). Maybe if I still want it by Christmas, I will ask for it for. I am a nerd, a font as a present. lol. What can I say.
Please enjoy. It is a beautiful thing:

A heart to heart....with words

I am writing a post. No graphics for this post, just words. I am feeling like I need to say 2 things. 

First, God has always provided for me. Financially, spiritually, and in every way shape and form. I thank him everyday for the jobs he has provided for me these past 6 months. Granted, they are random, taxing, and I worked ALL the time, and these things made my life the hardest it has ever been. All this to say, I am a firm and faithful believer in God's perfect and beautiful plan for my life. I know he had me at these jobs for a reason. Working at the coffee shop (Cup O Joy) and as a server (at Outback Steakhouse) was not easy. I am so thankful for the people I met, and the things I learned. I also learned a ton about myself. What I am good at, what I am not good at (yes, it may be hard to believe...I am not perfect. LOL!) Anyways, I could go on and on about this...are you picking up what I am putting down?!?

Secondly, I am writing you today with words and not pictures because I have to announce that I am starting a new part time job. Doing graphic design. Praise the Lord! I will be working part time for a company called Documents and Design (D2 for short). Check out their website for what they do. I feel blessed and super excited to start this new job. I will miss the coffee shop, but am pumped to look back and take with me what I learned. I will still be working part time in the nights at the Outback if anyone needs a bloomin onion or delicious steak fix. Lol.

I found this verse about God's timing. It touched my heart.

It is found in Acts 1:7 (this is the Message version of the bible)
He told them, "You don't get to know the time. Timing is the Father's business. What you'll get is the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be able to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, all over Judea and Samaria, even to the ends of the world."

That is about all I really wanted to say. I love you all and thanks for your prayers :) 

I feel them.

shaped rubber bands

Who knew that these little rubber bands could be so fun, and such a hit. After you wear them/use them, they go right back to the form they came in! How amazing :)
Everyone is wearing them this summer and I am in full support of them. You gotta love the little things in life.
