Rockie

This week we got a new addition to our family: ROCKIE.

He is a 4 month boston terrier

Austin went to Jamesport, 80 miles outside of Kansas City, to get him. We named him Rockie after Austin's favorite baseball team, the Colorado Rockies. Austin went with Jason to get Rockie and it looks like Jason came home with a little friend too!

Cheech and Rockie are already buds!!

Mini Vacation

This past month we were able to get away for awhile and enjoyed a nice weekend in Kansas City. We got lucky and stayed at the Argosy Casino/Hotel. It was by far the nicest place i have ever slept. This was the first time I had been t a casino too. I got a little crazy with the slots but luckily only lost 20 dollars.


After a day at the casino we headed up to a Cardinals game, yes we were in KC and it should be stated we headed up to a Royals game BUT we are not Royals fans, we are St. Louie fans (except Austin who likes Colorado).

The stadium was very nice, and this was both Austin and my's first professional baseball game.

My parents and sisters joined us!

My Big Catch

We decided to try out the old fishing game again, and I was excited to prove i wasnt completely unable to fish. We went to Great Plains Nature Center off 96 and Woodlawn. I was more than successful catching a few fish.

I wasnt too sure about holding the fish too close to me as you can see, Austin kept wanting to take pictures to prove I could catch one, but the dang things kept wiggling crazy!

Austin also taught me how to identify the fish I was catching, as you can see I caught a crappie, a blue gill, and a bass.

Austin also caught a few himself.

Home SWEET Home

That's right ladies and gentlemen we have purchased our first home! After stressful looking for a few weeks (which seemed much longer) we have found the perfect home! We are set to move in the 22nd of May and are more than excited.





My favorite part of the house is the kitchen, I was worried I wasnt going to find the perfect one but we did.

Another area I was worried about was laundry, everything we were looking at had open laundry in the kitchen and I hated that! Luckily this house has a separate room off the kichen just for laundry, couldnt get much better


Lots of room in the backyard for Little Cheech

Sunny San Diego!

Austin and I were able to hit the beach last week and see the ocean, first time for me, while in Sand Diego.

The trip as a whole wasnt the greatest, work was slow and people were rude, BUT spending time with Austin away from home is always fun and relaxing!

We went on a nature "hike" and were able to see this awesome view over the ocean. I point out the word hike because the lady said it was a nature walk so we wore jeans and flip flops but when we arrived there we saw that it was indeed a 2 mile up hill hike!! Although it was hot and I got blisters it was beautiful

St. Louie!

Austin and I were, as I say, lucky enough to travel to St. Louis a few weeks ago. We were on a business trip, but still able to tour some parts of the city.

As everyone knows, this is where my favorite team, the Cardinals play! I was sad we were not able to go and see the field but walking around the stadium was sweet enough for me. I will add Austin did not enjoy it.

There were awesome red fountians we found walking around downtown

This picture would not rotate and I tried 7 times!

We were able to find some blues bars downtown. The band playing was really good and Austin enjoyed this evening a lot!

I wanted to go up in the arch, but we ran out of time :( Hopefully we can go back and do this someday.

NEW BLOGS COMING ... I PROMISE

I know it has been forever since I have had time to blog and I am sorry. Things have been crazy the past few months, Austin, unfortunately, got laid off this month and will starting a new job. I have also started a new job at Actuate Apparel, I am doing the bookkeeping work. My job requires me to travel a bit this summer but to our luck they are allowing Austin to come along a few places to help. We are going to consider these business trip mini vacations since we won't be taking any. I hope to have new pictures up in about a week, stay with me guys I am working on it!
