I now frequent that website more than facebook or my email. :) I. Am. A. FAN!! I have actually made several recipes that I find either from <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/everyday-paleo-sarah-fragoso/1100091997">Everyday Paleo</a> or online. Everyday Paleo has a 30 day meal plan that actually gives you grocery shopping lists. Its amazing! </div><div> </div><div>Sundays tend to be my baking (happy place) day. Yesterday I made crock pot pork chops, fig pinwheels and Fruit N' Nut bars. All homemade. All Paleo. </div><div> </div><div>I found the Pinwheels on Pinterest by Primal Palate. To find the recipe online, go <a href="http://beta.primal-palate.com/recipe/fig-pinwheels/">here</a>. I feel like I am more adventurous now than ever before and continue to find yummy recipes that Brian actually likes too. The Pinwheels actually turned out super yummy but not at all pretty.

A couple of my friends that I hadn't seen in a long while looked absolutely amazing. Because I can be tacky and speak my mind I had to have thorough understandings of how they were making this happen successfully. I have struggled over the last 5(<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ish</span>) years of weight yo-yo-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ing</span>. They both are living "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Paleo</span>" and were doing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Crossfit</span>. My interest was peaked after talking with them. I started going some online research to learn more about it (the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Paleo</span>... not so much the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Crossfit</span>). One of my coworkers in Phoenix was also doing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Paleo</span> along with his family and had lost a good amount of weight. He recommended that I check out <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/everyday-paleo-sarah-fragoso/1100091997">Everyday <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Paleo</span></a> and start from there. <br />
<br />
I've lost 8 pounds within the first month. I think this is from cutting out the breads and cheese. I decided to restart the blog to try to hold myself more accountable to this. I also figured I could add the recipes that I try along the way since I have found some really yummy foods that I never thought I would like. <br />
<br />
One of my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">bestest</span> friends ever, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Chez</span>, introduced me to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Pinterest</span> while I was in Austin and I am a FAN! I have found a lot of great <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Paleo</span> recipes on it and I am thankful to have a place to 'store' all of my online recipes I find. I found <a href="http://beta.primal-palate.com/recipe/fig-pinwheels/">this recipe</a> online and thought I would give them a try. They are not near this pretty but they taste deli!!<br />
<br />
Morale of the story, I will do my best to update this blog more than every two years with recipes and what's going on with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Goode</span>-Wicks of Tucson. <br />

I was a little worried about keeping myself entertained since Brian was still in Europe with Sydne but it all worked itself out. At the beginning of the week, I stayed pretty busy trying to get school work out of the way, cleaning the house and packing for Las Vegas. On Wednesday is when all of the excitement began. My teammates, Mary Melich, Michelle Stribling and I boarded a plane for Vegas. The flight was very bumpy due to windy skies but we all arrived safely. All of the teams connected at the Apollo College Las Vegas campus to begin our conference. That evening I got a text msg from Chez letting me know that she was wanting to take advantage of the 72 hr sale that SW Airlines was putting on and plan a trip out to Tucson. Since I did not have email I just told her to book any weekend in January and that would work just fine. During this same chunk of time, Chez and Elizabeth connected with each other, Chez told Liz where she was going and Liz booked a ticket too!!!! <br /><br />Thursday night was also our awards ceremony. Michelle won Team Play of the Year, Mary won Presenter with the most Success, I won Newcomer of the Year and we all won Campus of the Year!!!!!!! All of our hard work over the past year has definitely paid off! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvqs_GUyouBLG1vBevk_ppl2pMWgYyblAE1144IxiqQhd89wZhugJ1Q_mUwBXnm5DuT3FLmoFwQSbOiWWzLJ8VQN2QWeoNBL5vePc60tFMtwaOgMuP13TodfzrZRMbd9A6-yUj/s1600-h/Las+Vegas+001.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvqs_GUyouBLG1vBevk_ppl2pMWgYyblAE1144IxiqQhd89wZhugJ1Q_mUwBXnm5DuT3FLmoFwQSbOiWWzLJ8VQN2QWeoNBL5vePc60tFMtwaOgMuP13TodfzrZRMbd9A6-yUj/s320/Las+Vegas+001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399531024318126978" /></a><br /><br />After the conference ended on Friday I was picked up but my cousin Caren and 2nd cousin Bridget. We spent the rest of Friday bonding with family, walking around Caesars Palace, eating a delicious meal together and watching some old home movies from 16+ yrs ago. It was a sweet evening of just getting to catch up. <br /><br />On Saturday morning we tagged along with Bridget to a Halloween 5K that she had planned to run. Bridget ran with her sisters, Christine and Jaime and Caren & I kept each other company. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1lrld_RJquGRVdj0wk8Kr4hFL-PbEd0f9zdYzvVMe2C8zXDPynoWH80C_ldx9-rwDsCOeNtpqtYgB0VFZ3xBO5bEkBw3gPbu-MxlyJowLvI8GmQ7eppQevPRN6Iqyj5rNkZ99/s1600-h/Las+Vegas+003.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1lrld_RJquGRVdj0wk8Kr4hFL-PbEd0f9zdYzvVMe2C8zXDPynoWH80C_ldx9-rwDsCOeNtpqtYgB0VFZ3xBO5bEkBw3gPbu-MxlyJowLvI8GmQ7eppQevPRN6Iqyj5rNkZ99/s320/Las+Vegas+003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399531030316976770" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTwNfOmsAoyJONQ03lyTQGW57mT06IkEPC1bEI38AWedrxGhbGxWa640P0soi1SMW1Cr31U1563f4muh88fA436hHaTPDgDtDdb50W-qc5X0FpV360qR8IS5ncjITTGZ-zg15E/s1600-h/Las+Vegas+004.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTwNfOmsAoyJONQ03lyTQGW57mT06IkEPC1bEI38AWedrxGhbGxWa640P0soi1SMW1Cr31U1563f4muh88fA436hHaTPDgDtDdb50W-qc5X0FpV360qR8IS5ncjITTGZ-zg15E/s320/Las+Vegas+004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399531041473866082" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO6Go-W6mbrbrAvEglNvpzg51P5fMdli3nxNBAaq8mym39W5THl8VPi3i42BzFC0-QfDXyQJkZZ2B5_sVMI4pq_Mf_gn0xFdbjq-NKRQaiKY86B-LccOqOkhiQr9Wcc-9cH9tJ/s1600-h/Las+Vegas+008.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO6Go-W6mbrbrAvEglNvpzg51P5fMdli3nxNBAaq8mym39W5THl8VPi3i42BzFC0-QfDXyQJkZZ2B5_sVMI4pq_Mf_gn0xFdbjq-NKRQaiKY86B-LccOqOkhiQr9Wcc-9cH9tJ/s320/Las+Vegas+008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399531047114578258" /></a><br /><br />After the 5K we went back to the house, had a yummy homemade breakfast, drank lots of coffee and then headed out to a shooting range in Boulder City.

It took about 4 hours to get there (it should have only taken 2 1/2) but the traffic was so bad. We got there in time to see the last Black Eyed Peas song performed. The concert was very good. I was surprised how many of the songs I recognized or could hum along to. Brian and I didn't end up getting home until after 3 in the morning and I had to be at work by 8 AM. That was not a fun day. <br /><br />On Thursday, I left work early to take Brian to the Phoenix airport. He got on a plane that evening to head to England to see Sydne. He is now in Barcelona for two days and then will travel to Marrakesh, Morocco to spend a couple of days there. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkHEipwiMsYUaRtCJyXsEUjcMoy_DcIzuzH-ekv6LMpUROeaW0yKiDXprLOhO2qbvi4FLnZr7EmYi-oI3b3khtcePGJ-954gDzsHBKXRa-c3yvXQbZ2PMCns9LIrh9QrNh0Cqu/s1600-h/U2+concert+001.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkHEipwiMsYUaRtCJyXsEUjcMoy_DcIzuzH-ekv6LMpUROeaW0yKiDXprLOhO2qbvi4FLnZr7EmYi-oI3b3khtcePGJ-954gDzsHBKXRa-c3yvXQbZ2PMCns9LIrh9QrNh0Cqu/s320/U2+concert+001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396224270151084770" /></a><br />I am enjoying the house to myself for a few days and then I head for Las Vegas for a work conference.

It is hard to believe how quickly the past year has flown by. It does not feel like it has been a year since we last saw so many of our friends. We are so thankful for all the blessings we have had and look so forward to what the Lord has in store for us and our family.
<br />
<br />We spent Sunday like we do most Sundays. We went to church, Brian had to go show some houses, we watched a movie (The Incredible Hulk...it was actually pretty good), and made a yummy dinner. Brian grilled fresh salmon, I baked some chicken and made some yummy veggies that Brian will eat.
<br />
<br />All in all it was a great relaxing day. We enjoyed all the phone calls and getting to catch up with different family members. I missed all my sweet friends at ACU homecoming as well. I (not really we) wished I could have been there.

What a ride it has been so far. <br /><br />I began a new job that I love.<br />Brian went off on his own to be his own Real Estate agent and has been uber successful.<br />I learned how to snowboard in Canada.<br />We have paid off all of our credit card debt.<br />We found a church that we love and Brian is now on their Board of Directors. <br /><br />We are so thankful for the past year of our life together and look forward to so many more. Thank you so much for all of your love, support and prayers through this journey!<br /><br />Happy Anniversary!Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07671097873042757009noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24930410.post-16928069609044339592009-09-10T19:32:00.005-07:002009-09-10T19:49:28.325-07:00A month later...So, I guess I don't have a lot of exciting things going on so I am down to posting about once a month. <br /><br />Today is Brian's 27th birthday. I am so thankful to have him in my life and to be a part of his. We have celebrated many birthdays together but this is the first as a married couple. Brian got glasses for his birthday. I know that is very exciting. He has been without them for over a year because I allegedly broke his old ones. I, however, do not recall that occurring. <br /><br />Brian didn't really want anything extra and I am not creative enough to think of something else to get him. He is also on his way to Washington to spend the rest of the week and weekend with the Wick family for the grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. I wished I could be there but alas, I get to work instead!<br /><br />When I got home from work this evening I was surprised to find a sweet note on the chalk board and flowers from Brian. The thought that pops into my head is that this is Brian's birthday and he got me flowers! Ladies, I'm sorry, I know you think you have the best husband...but you're wrong. So, thanks for trying! :) <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR95n9rilxkrfYdA5dRLZ__TPa1uK9dVuiMDJ9dNhzJAHTCm1h7c5kcXgWvB3Gokgnu24xOoK2sXWCL__Oty_2jK8_dt4v5pJfehFu8ce4h1MKnTj61EARyuc9QOnlUse5BDVR/s1600-h/2009+September+003.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR95n9rilxkrfYdA5dRLZ__TPa1uK9dVuiMDJ9dNhzJAHTCm1h7c5kcXgWvB3Gokgnu24xOoK2sXWCL__Oty_2jK8_dt4v5pJfehFu8ce4h1MKnTj61EARyuc9QOnlUse5BDVR/s320/2009+September+003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380032825299889090" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigeR6eB8FuXN_7YKVSPCYlWS-TTNMwwtdj_dWMaVxbHQiKirtyK64z_PJ7J58zhx27t1vbBCdjlCD_-4hFt6Qqru_OCpVMiQU2U3o2BpOUbS_oqnezF2Q3atoXJFMucdpvYjTY/s1600-h/2009+September+004.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigeR6eB8FuXN_7YKVSPCYlWS-TTNMwwtdj_dWMaVxbHQiKirtyK64z_PJ7J58zhx27t1vbBCdjlCD_-4hFt6Qqru_OCpVMiQU2U3o2BpOUbS_oqnezF2Q3atoXJFMucdpvYjTY/s320/2009+September+004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380032834403944402" /></a><br />I did try to make the recipe for palachinki <a href="http://www.vgoode.blogspot.com/">Valerie </a>gave me.

It was wonderful. She called at 6:54 am Tucson time and I called her back about 7:30...it is now 11 am. So much for finishing my paper this morning. However, I am 100% NOT complaining and am so thankful we finally got to catch up. At the beginning of our conversation I mentioned that I had already bought all the ingredients for baklava so she just walked we through how to do it over the phone. It was so easy. I also started, finished and put away a load of laundry while we were on the phone, washed my bed sheets and made my bed. It was great!<br />Here is what it looked like right out of the oven. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxMQml_JppUaNW3gKEkYBC7WQ3_lKOHwsQx4Q-S-92ZP3xZ9wdLoCqEEq4PZ615fhImVRM2LswGCa5mnh10llknsFI_WM9uPAYNtnaDMb6hGmvYQ4Pl2Lf00M1i-Krv3pEAuFH/s1600-h/baklava+01.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxMQml_JppUaNW3gKEkYBC7WQ3_lKOHwsQx4Q-S-92ZP3xZ9wdLoCqEEq4PZ615fhImVRM2LswGCa5mnh10llknsFI_WM9uPAYNtnaDMb6hGmvYQ4Pl2Lf00M1i-Krv3pEAuFH/s320/baklava+01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370252645140260034" /></a>'<br />A view from above<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYKdn8dN8PvUi_OzKCuV00LAkGTCICystLlolbqpdSGBU2JnJ49azJyTCatBInmZmy94RFziX8z35vC-E-CRKpRiTmG4lz3PNd-1aoOFuBrXCcf1tkVHeubohothDFrpJJCNlE/s1600-h/baklava+02.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYKdn8dN8PvUi_OzKCuV00LAkGTCICystLlolbqpdSGBU2JnJ49azJyTCatBInmZmy94RFziX8z35vC-E-CRKpRiTmG4lz3PNd-1aoOFuBrXCcf1tkVHeubohothDFrpJJCNlE/s320/baklava+02.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370252635126987346" /></a><br />All the yummy layers!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIA_BMURMqPQtLqmvX8ZEStG_cNKVnAMm2lI437DHe3T1C2kuA6qCZz7sT72uAOMTaLsZ8iKC9GvRxYKLJEtMHIfQG962o91KxoUjmYFbzTzHpMlcEF9VqNVdexqKpmJXxJGSG/s1600-h/baklava+03.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIA_BMURMqPQtLqmvX8ZEStG_cNKVnAMm2lI437DHe3T1C2kuA6qCZz7sT72uAOMTaLsZ8iKC9GvRxYKLJEtMHIfQG962o91KxoUjmYFbzTzHpMlcEF9VqNVdexqKpmJXxJGSG/s320/baklava+03.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370252626610837010" /></a><br />Brian and I both had a piece and were really impressed. As I was taking a bit Veeves said, "You know what would be so good with that." I cut her off, "A scoop of Blue Bell ice cream". "That is exactly what I was thinking!" Veeves said...she didn't even call me Uncle Lindel for cutting her off! :)<br /><br />I don't know if I shared this already but I thought it was just too pretty not to take a picture! I like to make things from scratch when I can and have the time. Since Brian and I are trying to somewhat watch what we eat it is hard to justify buying or ordering alfredo knowing that cream sauce is not the best thing for your body. However, I was craving fettucini alfredo so I went looking online at allrecipes.com to see if I could find anything decent. I found a great recipe that had almost 500 reviews and a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. With all the cheeses and dairy that the recipe called for I used fat-free or skim instead and used the Brummel & Braun cream spread instead of sticks of butter. We didn't have fettucini noodles either so I just used the pasta I had on hand which added a nice color to it and instead of chicken we used crab & shrimp. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-f75XODUY1cDvvjEWbfFmH1quN5j5osYr8jZtit3DAJrV-YQtUZebeBGfHzD2eVWuPclmp785PtVxOzFPi4YPrmNPLsEOJJtdGDFaJk5oKFLzJ-SRMmxxUhBFDJ0ZTfivGbxZ/s1600-h/2009+August+009.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-f75XODUY1cDvvjEWbfFmH1quN5j5osYr8jZtit3DAJrV-YQtUZebeBGfHzD2eVWuPclmp785PtVxOzFPi4YPrmNPLsEOJJtdGDFaJk5oKFLzJ-SRMmxxUhBFDJ0ZTfivGbxZ/s320/2009+August+009.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370252650685469122" /></a><br />I was pretty impressed with myself and Brian liked it too!

I headed out to visit Lyndsey for a super quick fabulous 30th birthday celebration! She was in San Diego celebrating her friends, Matt & Heather, 3.5 wedding party. They were married in NY back in November but have had parties in Long Island and San Diego so the families could celebrate too! Since Lyndsey was the maid of honor and best man in the wedding she has been invited to all the parties. <br /><br />The drive was only 6 hours and actually quite enjoyable with just me, Brian's GPS and a good couple books on tape (my iPod). We had a great time with all of Matt's side of the family and friends and then went and had mexican food for her birthday. The sweetest part of the day though was when Matt & Heather brought out a birthday cake for Lyndsey during their wedding party! That screams AMAZING FRIENDSHIPS!! <br /><br />Lyndsey and I spent the night at Nate & Sandy Parde's super cute house and then I headed back home on Sunday morning. I wished I could have stayed longer but I accomplished what I had set out to do! <br /><br />Happy 30th Lyndsey!!Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07671097873042757009noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24930410.post-3863491182341584962009-08-01T07:27:00.002-07:002009-08-01T07:36:58.520-07:00It's Saturday!Finally! Work has been going very well but I just have not been feeling very well which has worn me out. I wished I had some exciting stories...but alas, welcome to the wonderful life of living in Tucson.<br /><br />I have another big paper coming up for school so I will be working on that this weekend. <br /><br />My friend Shannon will be turning 25 on Sunday so we went to Ra for sushi last night. That was delicious and a lot of fun because Dave (good friend to us all) was able to hang out for a while and Gavin & Veronica (Brian's cousin & gf) met up with us too! We went with them for gelato afterward! YUMMY!<br /><br />I am really sad to be missing my friends Shep and Tabitha wedding next weekend. I know it will be beautiful but plane tickets are not my friend right now as they seem to be cheap most places but Tucson to Dallas on AA. <br /><br />Brian is playing racketball with Dave now so I just got done bleaching the shower and the toilets. You might think that everything is spotless now but remember the house is old with a lot of its original parts and we live in the desert which means DIRT!!! EVERYWHERE! All the time!<br /><br />Love your guts!<br /><br />Oh, and for VEEVES & LYNDZ: I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Legally Blonde musical soundtrack! It is what I listen to every time I set at my computer!! It's so much fun! Now, I just need to get out to NY again so I can see it...and catch Wicked one more time! :)Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07671097873042757009noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24930410.post-90965977377149689652009-07-21T08:29:00.002-07:002009-07-21T08:41:59.009-07:00Heee's Baaaack!Harry the Javelina is back!

It was 108 degrees...Brian was not a happy camper. We stayed for about an hour and then left...too hot. We came home, took a quick shower and then went up to the movie theater to see Harry Potter!! <br /><br />I really enjoyed it. Brian was a little bummed because so much detail from the book was left out. <br /><br />That's all I've got for now!Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07671097873042757009noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24930410.post-60793246006012590912009-07-08T09:31:00.004-07:002009-07-08T09:41:16.886-07:00Veeves loves bug spray...I just try to avoid the bugs...With the monsoons rolling through bugs are coming out to play in full force. Last night we were cleaning out Brian's car and the june bugs were every where. They kept flying in my hair and running into my leg. Dingy creatures really! We also have had some new visitors.<br />The Palo Verde beetle<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPS4XaoI64Hsaoyc2hnyrRB_x0M8SwgyWU-g0P5yo1P2Jge2YBwBbWd5IFyb4zyV9j_xf8r_WQJfJPnhehGNhMELfycpurXvHQ0vNa5T_2RJBeku36-8AwRKr0SCFb8j4FCJL7/s1600-h/Picture+001.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPS4XaoI64Hsaoyc2hnyrRB_x0M8SwgyWU-g0P5yo1P2Jge2YBwBbWd5IFyb4zyV9j_xf8r_WQJfJPnhehGNhMELfycpurXvHQ0vNa5T_2RJBeku36-8AwRKr0SCFb8j4FCJL7/s320/Picture+001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356128928025948866" /></a><br />And are good friend the trantula<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE5N2eqVplr-xQD9fOyPfWvOEsZ9ez39mLcK7gJJ1MjRFCAVK7yjfu5p3mgyYCk3Z3rVQyT17E9oy-8p5fyHojuA0aYNzv42AbCa-gPjUojvFqxZ9K4RLOHiRDJ9R086Zzjeh6/s1600-h/Picture+067.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE5N2eqVplr-xQD9fOyPfWvOEsZ9ez39mLcK7gJJ1MjRFCAVK7yjfu5p3mgyYCk3Z3rVQyT17E9oy-8p5fyHojuA0aYNzv42AbCa-gPjUojvFqxZ9K4RLOHiRDJ9R086Zzjeh6/s320/Picture+067.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356128931440515970" /></a><br /><br />They don't really bother us but they are big, nasty and I don't want them to touch me. We went to bed around 10:15 pm last night and I woke up at 10:56 pm (I looked at the alarm clock) screaming. Like seriously, jumped out of the bed, startled Brian screaming. I had a VIVID dream that there was a trantula crawling on our bed right by my face. It was entirely too real of a dream. Brian and I moved all the covered, he looked under the bed, then he laughed at me...go figure. That was a crazy moment. <br /><br />Lyndsey found a job prospect in Tucson. The U of A has a position available in the theater department. She hasn't applied for it yet nor has she spoken with anyone on at the University...but wouldn't that be CRAZY if she got a job in Tucson. I thought that was pretty exciting!<br /><br />Brian and I are planning a trip to go visit Veeves in October or November of 2010! I have a year-ish to start saving my pennies! I can't wait!!!!<br /><br />Here is a fabulous picture of Brian and I having way too much fun with the camera during our 4th of July Extravaganza at the Dycus family home!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFYcYRqq7VO-PXOp3kRLNYDw-kn17nYVudmql73HTJEeDdUCpQCWRFZlp8uZQ8nIP4Y3qtCyLiYqEOWbLk7HRE6Wbnw1zJ7eLAXLegBM_mBoZpuyjy7rfJOFy2qJClaXtGZRyR/s1600-h/Picture+010.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFYcYRqq7VO-PXOp3kRLNYDw-kn17nYVudmql73HTJEeDdUCpQCWRFZlp8uZQ8nIP4Y3qtCyLiYqEOWbLk7HRE6Wbnw1zJ7eLAXLegBM_mBoZpuyjy7rfJOFy2qJClaXtGZRyR/s320/Picture+010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356130046244736722" /></a>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07671097873042757009noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24930410.post-18988480856095169232009-06-14T15:37:00.002-07:002009-06-14T15:46:04.095-07:00A quick little update1) I just completed my final for class #1 of my MBA program...only 18 more to go! Yeah! :)<br /><br />2) I finished my paper yesterday. I kept asking Brian to read to for me for any thoughts or advice but that never happened. I turned it in this morning and hopefully I will know by tomorrow how I did!<br /><br />3) This morning when I was walking into the bathroom I noticed a bird acting oddly outside. Brian went outside and picked it up, its wing was broken so was hopping around, then placed it on a tree. It was a wood pecker so hopefully it will peck its way to its final resting place. <br /><br />4) Catherine: I feel sorry for the bird. But it's wild and I'm not going to pay for a vet bill.<br /> Brian: Yep, at least Harry the Javelina will have dinner if he comes back.<br /><br />5) I finally had my 90 Day Review at work last week. Yes, I was hired in January...it was only 2 monthly delayed!<br /><br />6) I got to talk with Valerie on Skype again. I always love getting to see that girls face! Now only if the rest of my family would get on so we could talk 'face to face'...instead of the 'normal' places mom and I always talk...you know what I talking about Vic!<br /><br />7) I guess Brian and I are now officially a married couple. No anulment jokes anymore because I can now take all of "his" money with me! Just kidding...but really, we did finally get a joint account yesterday at Wells Fargo. Since we both already had accounts we were able to merge all of his things over and blend them in with mine. It was painless! Now, Brian is waiting on a new debit card so is out of money for a week and I am the official bill payer and checkbook keeper of ALL bills that come to our house. This was pretty exciting because we have been talking about this since before the actual wedding day. We are both thrilled to continue to be checking things off our financial to do list. Hopefully within the next few months we will be completely credit card debit free too!! What a bless!!<br /><br />Love you guys!Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07671097873042757009noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24930410.post-57981203775092877502009-06-05T15:11:00.006-07:002009-06-05T15:38:45.237-07:00The pictures from the last postScroll down to the last post to read the stories...here are the pictures!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj32t_JBGRX025Ltit38oNUBLsv8pO3UdKRqhObZzi4hwwG_HlZrzOEIcDfVVZ0-3KuLh2ZYTgmFzpXv5dzWhyi_o4URZElVn2LR8itVEn-fwYFUe6aJcM5K1JI2bMrQHNZDqne/s1600-h/DSCF2118.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj32t_JBGRX025Ltit38oNUBLsv8pO3UdKRqhObZzi4hwwG_HlZrzOEIcDfVVZ0-3KuLh2ZYTgmFzpXv5dzWhyi_o4URZElVn2LR8itVEn-fwYFUe6aJcM5K1JI2bMrQHNZDqne/s320/DSCF2118.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343970183503377058" /></a><br />The picture below is the javelina giving itself a dirt bath.

Go <a href="http://www.javelinahunter.com/javelina_university.htm">here </a>to learn a little more. <br /><br />Two days ago, Brian called me while I was at work. There was a javelina right our front of his home office window. We get a lot of wildlife at our house but we have never had a javelina before. He was walking around and giving himself a dirt bath right where we normally watch the baby baby bunny (like 8 inches long baby baby) and all the pretty birds. Brian took some great pictures but I have not been able to load them to a computer since my laptop crashed on Monday. Don't worry, it is in route to dad so he can save the day again!<br /><br />Brian even went outside by the car port and yelled at it to try to get it to look at him. He just kept walking on this merry way. Normally when we see javelina out we see them in packs so we are wondering if he is just looking for his final resting place or something of the sorts. <br /><br />Yesterday when I drove home, Brian was standing outside looking out into the desert. I stopped the car and got out. The javelina was wondering around our back yard again. I grabbed the camera to try to snap a photo but when I walked around some brush the javelina had stopped and was starring right at me. I panicked, jumped back in my car, parked it and then ran into the house. Javelinas are not known for being friendly creatures. <br /><br />I will post pictures of what Brian took as soon as I can. The blessings of the desert!

Every single one of them. I think we all have been pretty lucky to grow up together relatively close. Our family (on both sides) is big into holidays and gathering everyone together. I love this about my family though it is sad now that the kids are all older and living further away from each other. I am in Arizona, Lyndsey is in New York, Valerie is in Bulgaria, Sam & fam are in Virginia, Mike is in Indiana, Andy & Julie are in Abilene, Lisa is in Arkansas, Cindy in CA, Sheri & Caren in Vegas, Holly (where are y'all now?) and Matt is in Houston....everyone else is pretty much in Dallas still...I'm jealous! :) <br /><br />Mike and his girlfriend Carol Ann came to Scottsdale for a nice little vacation a couple weeks ago. I had no idea that they were here at the time they came..which is fine since it was their vacation and all! :) <br /><br />On Tuesday, May 12, all that changed. Mike & Carol Ann were on a nice little hike on Camelback Mountain. Carol Ann decided she was done for the day and Mike kept hiking. During his hike he lost his footing while he was going around the face of the mountain and started to fall down the mountain. His foot stopped him from continuing to skid down the mountain but he was seriously injured in the fall. News stories are <a href="http://www.azfamily.com/news/local/stories/phoenix-news-051209-camelback-mountain-rescue.1ba73ec1.html">here</a>, <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/community/nephoenix/articles/2009/05/12/20090512abrk-mountainrescue.html">here</a>, and <a href="http://www.abc15.com/content/news/phoenixmetro/central/story/Phoenix-fire-crews-rescue-doctor-off-Camelback/vlBXfNsmVE-toyWwZayMew.cspx">here</a>. <br /><br />I was able to drive up there on the 13th to visit him for a brief moment. He was on a lot of pain medication and at that point the doctors had no idea what his outcome would be. Thank the Lord he was discharged from the hospital two days ago. He has had to have multiple hyperbolic chamber treatments, surgeries and a lot has been in extreme pain. <br /><br />I drove to Scottsdale last night right after work to meet up with Aunt Jan, Carol Ann and Mike for dinner before they all headed back for the prospective homes today and tomorrow. Mike was feeling well enough to get out of the hotel for a little while and go to dinner. We went to a super nice sushi restaurant in Scottsdale. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSvn96FraZZnSCoK9Ygnc8m2TptFVC_4TiBqFvgE-4eoaR6WxzxxmKndPNV9jGzJULbFY5HGFx1C52FAW6IqplxmvMo-X7MVCWvBjwEM30pkFd27rmFQ3KHUJwWcpKWU1Rw1fG/s1600-h/Mike+Kelley+injury+005.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSvn96FraZZnSCoK9Ygnc8m2TptFVC_4TiBqFvgE-4eoaR6WxzxxmKndPNV9jGzJULbFY5HGFx1C52FAW6IqplxmvMo-X7MVCWvBjwEM30pkFd27rmFQ3KHUJwWcpKWU1Rw1fG/s320/Mike+Kelley+injury+005.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341783389981758002" /></a><br />We shared a lot of sushi and a ton of sweet conversation.

Carol Ann drove Jan back to her hotel and then we went to Walgreens to buy Mike for bandages for his foot. When we got back to the hotel Mike had his boot off and I got to see his ankle with all the swelling, bruising, healing skin and scaring. So exciting. I know I was a little tacky about seeing it but he let me take pictures to share with my mom and the fam.<br /><br />Now, the interesting thing about Mike and Carol Ann both is that they are both doctors. So, when you ask them questions about the injury they are both very technical. Dinner last night so funny when Mike started taking about nueropathic injuries and medications taken. It was a little over my head but I smiled and nodded. I got to see the x-rays too (when I was at the hospital the first time I visited). Apparently, the surgeon was quite surprised when he opened up his ankle and could not find any reminisce of ligaments, tendons or nerves. It was so badly damaged. He has gained some feeling back in his foot but it is definitely not back to 100%. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7rMYjDdFZCsx4OHlJt-CMPG-ZN01IfAPxBIV42oD6vpv46fnoas4R28t8yKaOfJ2vz02-MT6iHiciJrgxv8YzrIg8qcpW1QgADP7fRCMAyPrFUbRXkE4FEDGtd-vpUcnyN3V3/s1600-h/Mike+Kelley+injury+006.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7rMYjDdFZCsx4OHlJt-CMPG-ZN01IfAPxBIV42oD6vpv46fnoas4R28t8yKaOfJ2vz02-MT6iHiciJrgxv8YzrIg8qcpW1QgADP7fRCMAyPrFUbRXkE4FEDGtd-vpUcnyN3V3/s320/Mike+Kelley+injury+006.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341786064039210706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxMdp7J97VXp0vzhsviPYaFF1H0v7JmgRrb1l_Cku-ubixua3l_hp9KkcF9xihepPIq3zPFr_Ve-5UItUWthgInvIP3FI-gzB2e_BxQZlhcOkIDp6vnHjjzyJhHDvTxHRKNe-p/s1600-h/Mike+Kelley+injury+007.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxMdp7J97VXp0vzhsviPYaFF1H0v7JmgRrb1l_Cku-ubixua3l_hp9KkcF9xihepPIq3zPFr_Ve-5UItUWthgInvIP3FI-gzB2e_BxQZlhcOkIDp6vnHjjzyJhHDvTxHRKNe-p/s320/Mike+Kelley+injury+007.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341786059938367410" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4l6qYacp9UUoDiBezGlQXE_puXc3u3rj7C6lz54PSdD6peWZGe9ESm9OK1LjK5xjeIhqCqKEWgPsYA0sFyyxXC4YfMsMBG6ACSOvfG84k10RzS5MVsEFJi-oZ2VZynzcmGIFk/s1600-h/Mike+Kelley+injury+008.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4l6qYacp9UUoDiBezGlQXE_puXc3u3rj7C6lz54PSdD6peWZGe9ESm9OK1LjK5xjeIhqCqKEWgPsYA0sFyyxXC4YfMsMBG6ACSOvfG84k10RzS5MVsEFJi-oZ2VZynzcmGIFk/s320/Mike+Kelley+injury+008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341786056319180194" /></a><br /><br />I am so thankful for family. I am so thankful that I was able to see Mike and give him a hug. No matter the age difference or distance of any of my cousins, I love them so much and cherish any moment I can spend with them. As I told Mike more than once, "Man, I don't care. I'll take you however I can get you!" <br /><br />Lastly, this morning right before Jan drove to Tucson on her way back to Houston, I saw the baby quail again. You can see the babies a little better than the last pictures I posted. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgynCBG_lFs0GDBQB6yXS8QmEjnwmhB6NpzbdVBnnXbPCZiEaGfn5g43_dkD9MHEyDzf3zi0XQz8A3oqGrwDOLVssz4_S7CSK9XtX_0BA1RrcK5DMvq5k-mpKUERcTGMFleslnD/s1600-h/Mike+Kelley+injury+009.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgynCBG_lFs0GDBQB6yXS8QmEjnwmhB6NpzbdVBnnXbPCZiEaGfn5g43_dkD9MHEyDzf3zi0XQz8A3oqGrwDOLVssz4_S7CSK9XtX_0BA1RrcK5DMvq5k-mpKUERcTGMFleslnD/s320/Mike+Kelley+injury+009.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341787988168558306" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyg5MG1THq1d-kYtYpN5zLvH4nF1CKLVbixD-Vo_ChJpRtqjfHNSZ2vUDnrghShbsF-2wDTcu-amhU5NNPug4FiAn9Oux9seuI5cXke43KCZ2GLsAaocB13M2VlTJJEKXBR2wR/s1600-h/Mike+Kelley+injury+010.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyg5MG1THq1d-kYtYpN5zLvH4nF1CKLVbixD-Vo_ChJpRtqjfHNSZ2vUDnrghShbsF-2wDTcu-amhU5NNPug4FiAn9Oux9seuI5cXke43KCZ2GLsAaocB13M2VlTJJEKXBR2wR/s320/Mike+Kelley+injury+010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341787983335350402" /></a>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07671097873042757009noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24930410.post-70821230953869653792009-05-25T20:49:00.009-07:002009-05-28T19:19:44.714-07:00San Xavier Mission and TubacOn Memorial Day we decided to do some tourist activities and go check out the <a href="http://www.sanxaviermission.org/History.html">San Xavier Mission</a>.

We all refrained from buying things! Good job us!!<br /><br />All in all we had a great weekend. The last night in town we went to Bluepoint at La Encantada.
