It became my go to when I decided to cut down on sugary snacks such as brownies and Nutella. Yummy -Massages and pedicures.

Many of you have probably already seen this, but if not you may get a kick out of it. There are several other versions of this same video that have added captions to "translate" what the kids are saying to each other. There was one that was soooo funny (laughed so hard I cried), but it used pretty foul language so I thought better to post the clean one here!

Nathan and I were married in the summer of 2005. Despite all of our best efforts not to have it be a stressful day, some things you just can't help. The plan was to get married in the San Antonio temple, take pictures, drive to McAllen for our ring ceremony and reception, and the following day head out for the honeymoon. Everything went along fabulously. Up until, that is, we got back to McAllen

Since we were going to be celebrating our New Year's eve in Dallas, and not taking the dogs with us, we decided to take them to our favorite dog park in Austin before leaving them. By the way, it was December 30th. While I had a bit of a bad attitude about the unseasonably warm weather this winter, you can't complain about a day like this!

Today I substituted for a friend of mine. Just half a day. She informed me that when she told her class that she would be leaving at 11 o'clock and that I would be subbing for them, the class cheered.Awesome.

I'm 18 weeks pregnant right about now. I have no idea if I have felt these kids move, or not. I have experienced what could possibly be baby movement or maybe not. At any rate, last week there were about 3-4 consecutive evenings where, as I laid (layed? Perhaps my friend Emily could help me on this grammatical quandary) in bed I felt these "movements". Although out loud I was telling Nathan, "

Perhaps it HAS been over two months since my last post. Big deal. It has been quite a busy two months. Rather than spelling out details of every event that has taken place since October, I'll give you a quick rundown of the happenings.

So I was just perusing through facebook,like I do, and saw a great video starring some of my Sesame Street favorites and Will I Am. I haven't had occasion to watch Sesame Street for years but it brought all the love I have for that show right back.I grew up on Sesame Street, among the other PBS shows. We didn't have cable growing up so as far as kids' shows go that's all we had... and that's all

First of all, is this how you spell tacky?? It looks odd. Anyway for the last couple or so years I have gotten so fed up with the fact that Nathan and I do not have any great photos of us other than our wedding pictures. It's been five years, honestly, I think it's time for an update!So my plan is to commandeer the photographer at my brother's wedding. Oh sure he and his wife will still have

On Saturday I had the opportunity to do something that I hadn't ever done before. It was fun and pretty much awesome. I'm not going to tell you what it was though because it was a bit on the wild side.But it got me thinking about some of the "crazy" things that I've done in my life. Some were strokes of genius, others were stupid moments, but they all ended up being good times (or at the very

It's not all that often that you get to see your "past" self through your "present" lenses. I just had that opportunity though. I was in my email account and for some reason I decided to look through old emails between Nathan and myself. It was so funny to read what was going on in the first year of our marriage. It made me laugh. I think I may share a few examples. But you should note that at

Looking back on it, the day before our five year anniversary may have been the best celebration of our love, marriage and relationship overall. Though at the time it didn't seem that way. ________________________Thursday, July 22: I'm in pain again and I've just had another sleepless night.

Kya and Pepper ran away last Saturday. Nathan had his MBA classes that day so I was home alone. I discovered a hole under the fence which at first did not look large enough for them to escape out of. When I went in the backyard though, and realized they were gone, I knew I was wrong.The problem is that our new house is quite new. The two lots on either side of us are still empty. We also back up

When I first moved to Austin in 2003, I lived fairly far from the UT campus. Occasionally I would shake up my driving route and drive south on Lamar. When I did that, I was always grossed out as I drove by "EZ's Diner". It looked like a dive and the marquee reading "pizza, burgers and more" did little to convince me that I was missing out on anything. Anytime I saw cars in the parking lot I'd

Last week I went through this terrible phase where my work life is concerned. I was so unhappy and I wanted to leave my job forever. Then all of a sudden, this past Monday all of that left and it has been a terrific week. I am not hating waking up, and dreading the drive to work. I am back to having a good time with my class and enjoying the funny things my students do.I suppose to ensure that I

I was a little worried about how Christmas would go this year. Coming from a large family, I have just gotten used to having quite a few siblings to share the holiday with.However, this year was different because I only had one other sibling home for the holidays. Of course spouses plus mom and dad were there.I am happy to report though that Christmas was still awesome! I had a great time with my

Over the Thanksgiving Break (for which I had one week of vacation...teaching aint all bad);) I was looking at a store advertisement with my three year old niece Katie. I was almost shocked at how young the desire for a toy starts. I guess I just don't have any recollections of wanting a toy so bad that young. When we got to the doll page she audibly gasped (so cute!) and pointed at a doll and

My favorite show, So You Think You Can Dance, ended this week. It's definately a minor obsession with Nathan and I, and by that I mean that we still have each episode on our DVR. One of these days I'm sure we'll learn some of our favorite dances from the show and bust the new moves out at a wedding reception or something like that.Luckily the show is moving to the fall line up so a new season is

Many of you know that I am a "word person". I don't sit around reading a dictionary or anything, but the more one gets to know me, the more one will find that there are several words that gross me out, or otherwise put me into hysterics when I hear them. Some I like to say to evoke a reaction from my friends, and some (mostly one) I can't even bring myself to say. Here they are in no

I stayed away as long as a I could. Despite hearing the rave reviews from friends and family, I had refused to get caught up in Stephenie Meyers' books that form the "Twilight Saga". It was a little irksome when the young women at church gushed over the books. It was really annoying when the girls my age went crazy over the first movie installment. I was above it, and far too busy to read a

ALL (yester)DAY (and night) I have been having dreams that are acting more like hallucinations. In my previous post I wrote about my back injury and the leg pain that has accompanied it. Yesterday morning (so I'm talking Friday) I woke up at 5:30 because of my leg pain which has become normal. At this time I do my back stretches, read scriptures, feed the dogs etc. I then usually fall back

One of the favorite things about my marriage is that almost each night we ask each other if we have confessions. These are not heavy, "I have a secret credit card and we're in financial ruin" type of confessions. They are cooky, random and usually funny. Here a few favorites.-When we were first married, I got really sick and thought I was running a fever. I went to the drug store and bought a

-Woke up with a headache.-I couldn't decide what to wear to church. It took forever but I finally got something on.-Felt very bad in the car on the way to church. The sunglight seemed to hurt my eyes very much and then I felt dizzy.-Late for church.-Parked our car somewhat close to the other car next to it. So, when I had to squeeze between the two cars my blouse button got stuck on sideview

Have you ever been awakened by a phone call? Has it ever been a phone call from the police? Well I have. But before I get into that let's back track just a bit. Just over a month ago, I got a terrible message on my phone. It was just after the kids had left school for the day so I finally had some time to myself.I checked my phone messages and this is what I heard. "Hi this is Julie. I just

Back at the start of October I mentioned to Nathan that we had better hurry up and register to vote. Since the last election,I've gotten married,changed my name and moved. Nathan informed me that he had already looked in to it, and we had missed the deadline by just a few days. I felt terrible. I had voted for John Kerry four years ago as a college student. I remember paying a little bit of

I could've titled this post about a million ways; "the hooter hider and other phenomena" "the never ending scandal" "the bet" or "the trip of dreams". Those were just a few contenders.Titles aside, it has been about a month since my reunion trip to Utah so I am now ready to write about it. Some background. Let's travel back in time to the summer of 2004. To my best girlfriends (Erin, Rebekah

I was just thinking of an experience I had recently that I feel has changed my life. It's probably too personal of an experience to go into a ton of detail here in the blog. Anyway it just got me to thinking about experiences that have changed my life. Here's a few in no particular order.1. My dogs. I have written about these two, Kya and Pepper, before. I suppose I've always had a soft heart

The title has nothing to do with this post, but it is the song currently stuck in my head. (There is a great scene in the movie Almost Famous with this song.) So it's been a little while and my last real post was about a trip I'd been on. Same ol same ol I guess. I just recently got back from a trip to North Carolina where I'd been for a little over a week. It went down something like this.

Well, I guess I did say that I would write more about our trip to Minnesota. I'll keep it brief though. We arrived on a Saturday. After getting a car we were headed off to a graduation party for one of Nathan's cousins. They live in this little town. We figured out how to get to the town but we weren't sure how to get to the house specifically. Nathan called his mom to find out. She literally

Life is finally back to normal! Nathan and I just spent about 10 days in Minnesota for a family reunion on Nathan's side of the family. We spent practically every day in the lake, whether it was swimming or going out on the boat. Nathan water skiied and tried his hand and wake boarding too. The videos below are short but pretty much sum up his wake boarding experiences. Anyway here is

As mentioned in a previous post, I decided to go rock climbing again. It was a pleasant surprise that there weren't too many people there, as Saturdays usually yield quite a few rock climbers at the green belt.Nathan had arranged for us to meet up with a co-worker,Brian, and his fiance,Carissa. Carissa had never rock climbed before and said that she doesn't really like trying new things when

I just recently read a post of a friend's blog wherein he talked about some really nice compliments he'd received lately. It got me thinking about the power of a compliment and why exactly does it have any power at all? Some compliments make you happy but maybe you don't put a lot of stock into. For example when my first graders tell me that I'm the best teacher in the world. It's very nice

As the title of my post suggests I recently quit something... my job. And I'm not just talking about the summer break. I will not be returning to the school in August. Do I have another job lined up? No. Is it scary? Not yet anyway. I guess it was just too bad for me that I started my teaching career probably at the best school in the country. In my humble opinion. It was academically

So Janae and I went to Corpus Christi Friday for the Beach to Bay Relay Marathon. Originally we were going to be leaving around 5:30 PM, but around 2:30 I called Janae with some good news, I was coming home early. She of course thought it was great but did not ask how I was able to get work off early. So I told her. You see, whilst eating a wonderful bowl of ramen noodles at work, I plopped

Last Wednesday my paternal grandmother died. She was the last grandparent I had here. Even though we knew it was coming and she was ready, it still seemed to catch me off guard... if that makes any sense.I started to think about her and my other grandparents. It sort of dawned on me that I woudln't be going to "grandma's house" anymore and all the memories associated with that. So in honor of

This is a thank you note to my wonderful, awesome husband. His name is Nathan and even though that rhymes with Satan he's a really good guy. :)Yesterday I had a visit to the doctor after which I felt EXHAUSTED and in general horrible. (I'm not pregnant by the way) I came home and fell asleep for quite some time. The previous night I had told Nathan how much the clutter in the house was bothering

I was talking with a good friend today about how I had started a blog a while ago, but I didn't think there was anything that entertaining about us. On second thought, I think Nathan and I are two crazy cats so get ready for some good times!
