Exploring El Paso on a budget.

September 24, 2011 ~ Elizabeth W ~ 1 Comment

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.

So, this is home.

Tonight for a change in view, I decided to get my $10 Walmart patio "furniture" (just a chair and cheapo table) and bring it out front and sit like an old lady with my iced tea and my.... laptop. Yes, like an old lady... who's up to date with technology. Anyway. A friend of mine … Continue reading So, this is home.

First impressions

July 12, 2011July 12, 2011 ~ Elizabeth W ~ Leave a comment

It feels like we've been here for at least a week, but as I look at my [empty] calendar, I see it's been only five days. Today has been an unexpected lazy day since they released Aaron this morning after formation. It's also been a much-needed lazy day. In the past three weeks, we've had … Continue reading First impressions

Only two days??

July 10, 2011 ~ Elizabeth W ~ 2 Comments

We can't believe it's only been two days since we arrived in El Paso. So much has happened already! Aaron goes to work tomorrow for inprocessing. For those of you who don't speak "Army" (sometimes I wish I didn't!) that means that he's getting acclimated to this post and will be learning more of what … Continue reading Only two days??

Really. The heat isn't that bad. We've been in El Paso for about two hours... and it's not so awful. At least not humid! Oklahoma was waaayy worse. We have been up the last two mornings to work out... go us! Before we left for El Paso this morning, we also went to the botanical gardens … Continue reading Well, it’s a dry heat.

The Fourth of July Blur!

July 6, 2011July 6, 2011 ~ Elizabeth W ~ 1 Comment

Wowzers. The weekend of the Fourth of July. I'm posting now from our hotel room in Oklahoma City. After roughly ten hours of driving, we're safe and sound for the night. 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. Everything's off the walls, we have our clothes packed, and most of my list is crossed off (you know that means it's a good … Continue reading >Decompressing… ahhhh.

>Tonight, my amazing [and tall] friend Megan hosted a little get-together after practice for the worship band.. kind of a going-away party. Megan made this ammmmaaazing ice cream pie with Oreos, ice cream, homemade fudge sauce, Spanish peanuts and Cool Whip (Oreo Orgy, anyone? Haha). She also made the first guacamole I ever liked.
