new fridge....

We are closing in little over a week and we are getting really excited. We went over to our new house last night to measure some rooms, and deliver some stones and flagstone that i am going to use to build an outdoor kitchen. It was fun to see the house again and see that the sellers are getting all packed up and getting excited about their move.

We have been doing a lot of shopping in the last month and made our first big purchase. A brand new fridge.

We got a little nervous because this is the one we found at Home Depot and loved but we didn't think it would fit. It is going to barely fit and we got an amazing deal on it due to my builders discount. It is going to be nice to have a fridge that will actually store more than a weeks worth of food.

The next big ticket item is a TV. Anybody have any ideas on brands? We have been leaning towards a Samsung. But there is just too many to choose from now.

flat tire, biker man, and me being an idiot

Funny story to poke fun at myself.... while we were house hunting last night I notice that my front tire was getting low. So I find my local QT and pull in to get free AIR. As I get the hose out to fill my tire up, a man pulls up with a bike that has a low tire, he says to me "you got a bad leak there buddy".... really man, thanks for telling me that as i am filling it up. I finally give up as my tire is almost 100% flat at this point and just give him the air hose. I start to talk to Liz about how we might be changing a tire in the parking lot. The biker gingerly walks over to the air machine and turns the air on..... yes everyone I was letting all of the air out of my tire, the man on the bike gently hands me the air hose and rides off into the sunset and Liz starts laughing in the car..... I fill up the tire and put the hose up.... Iam proud to say the tire is still full of air this morning. But I am still an Idiot.

Peace out,
steve

ps Dude says hi..

one year

 

The first year of marriage has sure flown bye. It seems like just yesterday we were standing outside on the record high day getting married. We have learned a lot about each other and how to live in a small one bed and ONE BATH apartment with a dog. It has been a great year and we celebrated this weekend by going to Ft Worth. We stayed in the brand new Omni Hotel, went to the Ft. Worth Zoo and had an amazing dinner at Bobs steak and chop house. I added some pics from the zoo. We ate the top of our cake the week we got back from the honeymoon, so i surprised Liz by getting a replica top layer of our wedding cake. It was sooooo good and it went great with the free champagne the hotel gave us. Anyways it was a great weekend and i am so blessed to have a great wife.

Summer Hair cut

Dude got a new summer hair cut the other day here are some pics of his new cut.... 

update from our last update

A lot has happened since our last post. so i will just go through it real fast 

Liz graduated, we went to las vegas,we moved, liz started her new job, liz had a birthday, we have been to three weddings, went to two rangers games and saw some fireworks on the 4th. 

Dude is doing good in case you are wondering..... well that is about it for our little Blog. 

have a great day 

hats?

Does anyone know why at graduations do you have to wear those funny looking hats?



This weekend we were pretty busy with all of the graduation festivies, i felt like all we did was drive from place to place. It was a great weekend and we had a lot of fun with all our family and friends. So now i guess i have to refer to Liz, as Master. .......

new hood again?

Yes it is true i am leaving my work home in Austin Waters to a new work home that is less than 10 mins from my apartment and a lot more active neighborhood in Los Colinas. So that is pretty cool i guess. Oh ya and this weekend Liz is graduating from TCU!!!!!!!!!!!

Random Thought of the day: why do we have to use turn signals in turn only lanes?

this IS happening

So being the good/great dog parents that we are, we know that happy dogs (much like children) are tired dogs.... so we try round 2 of Dude in the dog park.  Last week we took our little Dude over to the Southlake Dog Park for him to run out some energy. Until he got gang raped by a boxer, a yellow lab, a pomeranian and about 3 other unidentified breeds.  EVEN after we pulled them away multiple times.  They always came back for more Dude.  I guess what do you expect being the most handsome dog in the park/ entire world.  Poor little Dude could NOT figure out that he could run faster than the big guys and just got backed into the corner of the fence-- when he wasn't playing dead. So after that traumatic experience, we go back for round 2 today at Fort Woof Dog Park.

Today was MUCH better and Dude adapted very quickly to having all the space to run in.  He made a few friends (big and small) and ran around like a crazy man.  There were some dogs COVERED in mud and totally filthy thanks to all the rainstorms we have been having.  Luckily, Dude stayed out of the mud, this time.  It was a really fun afternoon. After nearly an hour of canine fun, Dude was just exhausted! So we say bye to his new friends and head out to the parking lot.... to find THIS:

 

Oh yes, in case you didn't catch that it is a FAT (possibly the fattest) chihuahua ever. Dressed as a king.  Wearing a cape.  Properly positioned on a foam pad.  Hands on the steering wheel.  Driving a little tykes pink car. 

Yep. Just another day at the dog park.
