I got a "new" car. Well, it's new to me. I said goodbye to Black Beauty and got a Mercedes! It's a ML350 and I love it. Butt warmers, auto windshield wipers, back-up sensors and numerous other random things that you really didn't know you needed until you get playing with them.
Ty is finishing up his Master's degree- last paper due tonight for this class then one more class until graduation time! Wish him luck, it's been a long time coming and he's worked really hard working full time and going to school.
USAV volleyball season came and went without much to do. We're not going to nationals this year so it was kind of a season without closure. I am still playing in leagues and a few tourneys here and there but nothing too noteworthy. I did play with my Texas A&M alumni team for the first time this past season which was good for a change 'o pace.
I'm really looking forward to Jenn Caballero's wedding in Pflugerville in June! Ty and I are going for a long weekend and it'll be good to be home for a couple of days. I'm so excited for Matt and Jenn and wish them the best- they deserve it!
We moved into this era and bought a Wii. It's fun and I'm a great golfer (if only in my head). We can now safely box it out if we have a disagreement! :)
Bauer is becoming a real big boy nowadays. He's calming down, sleeping at night, less and less accidents. All around a good boy. Oh, except he's topped 10 lbs and at his yearly checkup the vet said that he needs to slim it down. Well, don't we all!
Ah yes, our anniversary! I can't believe that we'll be celebrating our 2nd anniversary on May 26th! No big plans, just using the long weekend to enjoy each other's company.
Work around the house has been a constant since we moved in, but the exciting news is that since spring has sprung was are moving some momentum outdoors. A fence is on it's way and we're looking to get some curb appeal. Well, just a new bush or two and some simple landscaping, but it will really help out our appearance.
Work is going really well for me and Ty. We both have our days, but overall we love what we're doing and it's keeping us busy and engaged. Jordan, my buddy from grad school, will be joining ExxonMobil in a couple of weeks. Along with Jordan there is Thomas, Jason and I there. It's always a good thing to have a few buddies at work! :)
One of the best things over the past month was Ty's parents coming out to visit. Ty took time off of work, and we made the most of their time here. We did museums, restaurants, plays, and touristy things, including our first Cherry Blossom Festival Parade. It was a bit cold, but sunny thank goodness. We even went to the Old Ebbitt Grill for dinner- the place where Ty and I ate the night we got engaged. It was great to spend time with them!
Also of note- we went up to Philly to see Jacob and finally got to meet his beautiful wife! We stayed at Dave's house which is always fun with 2 dogs, 2 kiddos, and 4 adults...but this time Dave's parents were in town too! Only a couple of weekends later Dave, Rachel and Jack and Sammy came down to VA to see us. It was fun to have them here, if only for a weekend.
Ty and I, along with a number of my co-workers, will be participating in the Global Race for the Cure. Thank you to all that have donated thus far, we appreciate your support! For those that haven't, there is still time! Go to the Global Race for the Cure website and click "Donate" at the top. You can search for me and Tyler by name. We are on team "Fuel for the Fight."
Fish! Yea, we finally got fish. Ty got a fish tank for his birthday in February and after cycling the tank we were able to get some fishies. They are just another part of our growing animal family! I even got a beta fish, Harold, but he had to be on his own because he's aggressive.
Well folks, that's about all the updating and catching up I have in my at this point. Until next time!
