I can't even fly out of a window

Last week we got a new window in our living room. So no more breeze coming through the drafty old window this winter. I am so overly excited about this, plus I was kind of tickled to see what it looked like when the old window was removed.

What can I say? I am easily entertained, or maybe it's time to start back to school soon?

Hello everyone! Last week we spent our time on the Yucatan peninsula at the Secrets Capri Resort in the Riviera Maya. It was a belated two year wedding anniversary celebration! The resort was all-inclusive and the beach was beautiful! All of the pictures in the collage above are ones that I took with our camera. It was just gorgeous! The workers at the resort were wonderful and a lot of them seem to be familiar with JFK. Any time we would tell them our name was Kennedy, they would respond, "like the president?" . I'm still getting used to the presidential references that go along with my married name, but it's fun.

We enjoyed relaxing on the beach and getting pampered. I got to finish reading Eclipse from the Twilight series and started reading the final book New Moon (edit) Breaking Dawn. Sounds like we had a lazy vacation, and we wanted to do just that! We're anticipating a busy school year with Bob starting year two of pharmacy school and me moving up to 4th grade plus tackling national certification. So, whenever we start feeling overwhelmed next school year I'll reflect back to this lazy vacation, and press on.

and we're off

We left Friday afternoon for Houston. From here we are leaving for a resort in the Riveria Maya in Mexico on Monday morning and we'll be back in Houston on Friday.

But first Bob's parents thoroughly entertained us. We got to go to the outlet mall, ate dinner at Irma's Southwest Grill, and caught an Astros game. The Astros played terribly, but it was still fun.

Should be back next week with an update of the rest of our trip.

It has not been an ordinary week, and I mean that in a good way. And this will not be an ordinary post. I'll be summarizing the week and then back tracking to the end of last month.

Monday night I got to babysit the two most cutest nieces ever because grandma was out of town! We got to play games and watch movies together.
Tuesday night my husband and I went out to eat for our two year wedding anniversary. So far our tradition has been to go out to eat somewhere nice where we have not been before. Last year we went to Musashi's Japanese Steakhouse and this year we went to 1492 Latin Cuisine. When we get back we take our picture using the timer on the camera. Yes, I enjoy being cheesy!



For the holiday weekend we decided to paint the dining room. We painted most of the day on Friday. It took two coats of paint thanks to our textured walls. Luckily, my man is a skilled painter and he did a fabulous job.

Soon we will be working on painting some of the walls in our living room. White walls just do not go with the color of our new couches. Stay tuned.

Also, here is the lime cheesecake I made for my father-in-law's birthday last month.


While the in-laws were here we got to play guitar hero together on the wii. Fun stuff!
