Good things are happening in the W household... Fall is here! And to celebrate, we've had temps in the 90's in the desert. Fall-like, eh? And the leaves turn yellow and just fall off the tree. It has been cooler at night. In fact, I'm using three thin blankets now instead of just the sheet … Continue reading The season of good.

Texas is our home now.
We're on the cusp of fall, at least from what the calendar tells us, and I'm a little bummed out. I love fall in central Illinois... leaves changing, the air is crisper, you bring out the sweaters and scarves. Here in El Paso, it's almost 90 degrees for the high today. Leaves changing? The only changing … Continue reading Texas is our home now.
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
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
Well, it’s a dry heat.
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.
>Delayed
>..yep. That's the Army for ya. Aaron will be delayed from when we thought he was coming home. At first I was super ticked off because 1) Korea is the biggest Army fail, ever, and 2) I have way too many expectations of things that are not in my control... Hmm. I wonder why I keep … Continue reading >Delayed
>On a new journey
>The last couple weeks have been a whirlwind. Graduations and parties that follow, first grade shenanigans at the zoo, and cleaning on steroids. I've been home for only a couple of nights in the past few weeks at a decent time. For me, that's before 6PM. I love my evenings at home, cooking dinner for one … Continue reading >On a new journey
>Week in review; revisiting the diet plan
>Hello friends. Sorry about the uncreative title.. it's been one of those weeks. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.I feel so bloated and just... flabby. I know that's ridiculous, considering I'm only up 2.7 pounds from my ideal, and I'm still trying to learn how to not to eat like a glutton after … Continue reading >Week in review; revisiting the diet plan
>This Spanish major will be happy! and thoughts on immigration and language
>There is so much culture in El Paso that as a Spanish major, I am ecstatic to explore! There is a museum of art, history, and archaeology. Good thing my husband likes museums, too. In fact, one of our first dates was to the Lakeview Museum. This site has some really awesome pictures of downtown El … Continue reading >This Spanish major will be happy! and thoughts on immigration and language
>Clear-minded goals
>So, before the marathon, I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep training and racing marathons, or just have this be a one-time thing and become a more casual runner.Let's just say that the thought of never running another marathon again is just craziness! Like I said, all throughout the race I never thought, Oh, … Continue reading >Clear-minded goals
