Yesterday I had coffee with a friend and she was telling me about all the things to do and see here in El Paso. Honestly, I wasn't surprised as this is a big city (500,000+) with a very unique mix of culture and heritage. I just didn't know where to find all these fun things … Continue reading Exploring El Paso on a budget.

Because of all the commotion in the past few days, I wasn't too keen on blogging tonight, but as Aaron reminded me, the longer I … Continue reading The Fourth of July Blur!

>My poor husband, seriously. I've been going crazy making lists and just being, well, for lack of better terms, OCD, about moving. Tomorrow the movers come and we are more than prepared.
