Much to post

We had quite the busy busy weekend, worked and started a dance class.. had our first dates in a long while, got to go shopping and headed out some new adventures that I am sure will lead us down new roads! Much to post as the days come!

Falling in love all over again over F-O-O-D !

So this is the man I love. This name is Mike. Hes the sweetest guy I've ever met. I guess you could say that I'm a pretty lucky lady, because I am. Usually we don't get to go anywhere because funds have been so tight lately. But this past weekend we got to work together and we did quite a bit of eating out! Can't say my body feels as good as my heart does. Spending time together is so important, granted we could have gone shopping with our money, but we sat and talked and talked and loved one another and it was great, not to mention the food rocked as well! First we found this awesome little and I mean little hole in the wall called Boneshakers.. oddly enough they served brunch only. This is what we had and it was awesome!

I fell in love with this man at the River Walk, one of our first and greatest dates. So naturally, we had to go back to Rio Rio Cantina on the River Walk.

Schilos is an awesome German restaurant that has been around since the 1900's. We forgot to take pictures of our amazing food, but that just means that it was all that much more awesome!

This place has their own homemade rootbeer! It is simply... yumm amazing! Only 1 refill per glass! but soo worth the 2.00!

Working with my hubby

Mike and I worked as production assistants this past weekend for an event held by GameStop and Nintendo. The production company was full of pretty cool ppl and we hope to meet up with them in our move to California summer 2013! Working with the hubby was..... absolutely amazing! Gave us lots of time to spend time together bonding and Eating.. lots of eating out. Which is new for us since we've been on such a health kick and tight budget lately. We had a blast though! Mostly I handed out thousands of hats to the winners of challenges, they went NUTS over them!

Downtown San Antonio:

I want to do everything!

Today I feel frustrated. I feel completely creative, and I want to do a little bit of everything. But I don't have the luxury of not having to have a full time job, or the funds to not have to have a full time job. Have you ever felt like your creative energy is being held captive while your mind races with the whims of the day that you'd creative if you 1. had the time 2. had the money? Thats exactly how I feel right now, at this desk, at my full time job. That I am grateful for, very grateful for and love to have, but today.. I want to run, I want to create. So, for right now: I'll dream up all the projects I want to create and come up with plans to fit them all in- when I have the 1. time and 2. money.

Still, quite, and 3. A night without our baby.

This is the first night in 2 years that I have to be away from my little girl. Shes 3 now and quite the handful. A handful of love, sass, and her own opinions. She is a child destine to do things on her own, in her own way, which usually isn't exactly what mommy and daddy care to do at the moment, but everything she does is still quite adorable. Since Sophia was little I've read to her at least one if not 3 stories a night. I remember her being so still, so little and so easy to stare at. Now, I find myself holding her down for kisses and hugs, if only to beg her to sit still for a moment. But, night time, oh precious night time, when sleep arrives. She is still for one thing these days, and it is to read her stories. She begs for one more, two more, "oh please mommy, this one, this one too!" and on and on.

Tonight I read her Belle story extra slow, articulating every word and letting her turn the pages. I can't help but cry when I think of getting home tomorrow night without putting her to bed. No fight over her jammies, no fussing over her hair being washed. Oh, it could be nice to just sit with my husband and relax for once in a few years, but I'll miss her sass more than the quite without her. Its only one night though, that's all I could take. To imagine life without this little person is - unbearable- so I won't. For now, I'll read very slowly, articulating every word. And, once she's in bed, I'll sneak a peak at her, still, quite, and little, and wish that in this moment, she'd be only 3 forever.

I wanted to write this blog for my daughter. So that she may have a record of her story, of my story of our story. It is, one of my passions to write down the best words to describe the emotions of any event and adding just the right moment captured in time to the words to flood a page with emotion is quite incredible. Our days right now have been filled with joy, with laughter and those things too, just like pain can and should be recorded. Finding joy in the smallest things is what I aim to teach my child. To love unconditionally, and to be loved without condition. Thats what I want for my baby. So I keep this blog as a record of our life. For me, and for her, perhaps daddy too.
