A Theme for Year #2?
Our first wedding anniversary celebration weekend has been set for a few weeks. We were going to go enjoy some warm Spring Break weather down in Corpus Christi, Texas. Visions of warm beaches, the Gulf of Mexico, a reasonably comfortable hotel, and a fun weekend away from our rut were dancing through my head as I was making reservation after reservation for the fateful trip.
Friday arrived. We watched the clock with anticipation for our 5 o’clock departure to DFW airport. We hopped in the car and were halfway to the airport when A2 remembered we needed to look up the terminal and gate for our flight. Out came the iPhone and the txt message from American Airlines:
Gate 3
“Gate 3,” I wondered? There are 6 terminals and about 40 gates per terminal, and we have “Gate 3″…
To make a long story short, I booked our flights backwards, CRP > DFW. ARGH!

Happy New Year!
Here goes 2010! Are you ready for this?
2009 will be a hard year to beat, but we seem to be off on the right foot. I mean, nothing bad has happened and we’re only 3 days into the year, right?

A Childhood Love Affair with VHS
Growing up, we didn’t often rent movies, but we had a few VHS tapes that we’d use to record various movies off of TV. Most of these movies came from the Sunday night “Wonderful World of Disney” program, which always had a prologue recorded by Michael Eisner, former CEO of Disney.

Could it really be Wednesday?
Labor day just screws everything up.
Here it is Wednesday, and I feel like it’s barely Monday. I’m just started to get going on the many things I need to do this week (blogging being one of them), and soon the week will be over.
So, this post is going to be a mish-mash, catch-you-up. Sorry if it’s a little underdeveloped and hit-and-miss – it’s what you’re getting, so you’d better just be grateful!

A Garbage Truck and a Sense of Wonder
I woke up this morning to the sound of the garbage truck collecting my neighbor’s trash – but not mine. I missed trash day, again.
A few weeks ago, though, I did not miss trash day, and I watched the giant garbage truck lumber up the street, stopping at each home and picking up the trash. Watching the large arm grab the plastic bins at our curb sent me back many years to a visit I had at Grandma’s house.

A Cupcake and Bouncy Ball
In kindergarten and first grade, I attended a small, rural school, and one of my only memories from that time was birthdays.

Going Against the Wedding Grain
Each culture has its own wedding traditions, and our family and culture is no different.
