Happy Birthday to me. ❤️

Damian came over to see me Sunday morning before I got on the road to meet up with Mikey to get Phoebe. He brought me 3 gifts for my birthday.

1) A pair of socks that read “if you can read this, rub my feet”. (he is constantly rubbing my back, legs and feet) 

2) A box of the same English toffee that we had in CA. (It is handmade in Carmel, CA, where we visited. He managed to get a box of them for my bday). 💕

3) A handwritten letter with floor plans for his house. We are talking about moving in together. He wants me to feel like it is OUR house, so he measured the downstairs and created a floor plan using a program he wrote. Then went on to try to explain to me how he had to write code for one of the images since it was so small. 🤷‍♀️🙃🥰

I am absolutely speechless. The thought that went into these gifts, that’s what melts my heart. 

I picked Phoebe up from Mikey and she had this handmade gift for me. I absolutely LOVE them! 

Then I get to work this morning and I have gifts on my desk. Best team ever! 

I’m attaching pictures but I did mark out some text from the letter that wasn’t “share appropriate”. 😉 

Getting it done son! ✅

Went to the DMV today, around 12:30 and I was done by 1:50! They have a system in place now and it made things run pretty smoothly. To top it off the employees were nice, the guy even let me look at mt picture and try the vision test without my glasses! (I couldn’t see though, but the option was nice lol!) 

And my car is acting up again, took it to Honda since they replaced the battery last May. Thankfully I bought the booster gizmo last year because I had to use it like 5 times the past 2 days. 🙌🏻 Also thankful that this has been the only issue I’ve experienced with my Honda, which I’ll have for 6 years next month. 

Woodlands Elite Showcase 2019-20

Phoebe had her Woodlands Elite Showcase on Sunday, November 3rd, at NRG Arena. MawMaw, PawPaw, her dad and Morryne came to cheer her on. The Soldiers got a zero which means there were no improvements necessary. Go Soldiers!! 

Phoebe’s Endocrine follow up

She is now 4’9” and 85lbs 8.6 oz.
We stopped the growth hormone in February. She’s grown an inch since her last appointment in January 2019.
Labs looked good. ✅ Just a little Vitamin D deficiency. As long as she takes the vitamins, it won’t be an issue. Cholesterol levels were good, no indication of diabetes.

All is right again...

Phoebe is on the All Star competitive prep team this year, so she’s happy doing what she loves most, cheering.

Me and Mikey are back on track after my reckless posts a few months back.

Damian and his girls got back from Hawaii yesterday, after a 7 day trip. He brought a sea turtle picture back for Phoebe. 💕

He brought a waterfall pendant necklace back for me. Waterfalls are our thing since we saw a few in California. It is part of the Na Hoku Waterfall Collection. The 8 diamonds symbolize the 8 islands in Hawaii. He said they tried to show him an opal one that had different colors but he chose to stick with turquoise since it is closer to my birthstone. It is perfect. 🥰

Me & Phoebe’s Kemah Getaway

Me and Phoebe had a great time during our getaway to Kemah Boardwalk. 💕

Couple’s Getaway to Monterey!

Oh my gosh, such an amazing place. Damian asked me what I liked with vacations and I told him I’m a scenery gal. He suggested Monterey, CA. Me being the non traveler chose to trust his suggestion. After all, he’s been to all but 2 states.

He chose the hotel, booked the flights, reserved the car... I did nothing. And that was great because I am horrible at making decisions that affect others! 🤦‍♀️ We flew out on June 21st to San Francisco. Drove the coast down to Monterey. Our hotel, Trade Winds, was in Carmel. We were waking distance from a beach and a town of shops.

We visited a few state parks, we hiked to a waterfall, we saw the Golden Gate bridge and we ate some really good food. The weather was absolutely amazing. It was windy, but not too windy, the temperature didn't get above 61 degrees.

Oh and neither one of us brought our work laptops. :) We made no plans ahead of time. Which means we got to sleep in as long as we wanted to, but we were able to get in all of the recommended stops, including a beautiful beach sunset. It really was a great couples getaway.
