I Survived Hurricane Harvey

2017 Scruffy Birthday Perry Steakhouse Pork Chop

Scruffy’s Birthday at Perry’s Steakhouse

These past three months we’ve celebrated a bunch of graduates, Dad, Scruffy, BIL and June’s birthdays, went to South Padre with Sissy, BIL, and Scruffy, saw Emmy couple of times, had Michelle’s baby shower, bid farewell to Michelle as she traveled to New York with her husband for residency, bid farewell to Apurva as she traveled to Pennsylvania with her family, got into a car accident, had a ton of crawfish, went to breweries, and played house with Scruffy which actually worked out pretty well.

Rizzo Looking Out the Window

I survived Hurricane Harvey and although we came out alive with our house still intact, I took a beating from the constant worry that we were going to flood, that our family and friends were going to flood. Our neighborhood was one of the ones that were on voluntary evacuation and we were lucky the rain stopped just enough for the flood to not reach our house. Rizzo was able to spend a big chunk of a month (three weeks) with me literally every waking moment due to this disaster but he’d have to miss me while I’m gone this upcoming Monday when I go back into the office.

Killen's Texas Barbecue | Pearland, Texas

Speaking of my job, I found out I will be let go from a company I’ve been with for over ten years. Bummer. But with how the oil and gas industry has been I can’t blame them. They’ve already let go so many people that I’m lucky I’ve survived as long as I have and it won’t stop even once I’m gone. I’ve been constantly job searching with no avail. I haven’t given up but I’m slowly getting frustrated.

Wish me luck!

Happy One Month, Emmy!

Pool Day | Rizzo & Luna

Scruffy and I celebrated Emmy’s one month early by taking a couple of days off for a pool day with the pups and relaxation. Luna looks so serious.

Emmy & Rizzo Meet

Rizzo finally had a chance to meet her when she came down. How cute is this? He was so hesitant and gentle. He’s such a good puppy.

Emmy's One Month | Jenny & Mellie Dee

Jenny and I being aunties at Emmy’s one-month celebration. We had dinner where the extended families finally got to meet the little princess. She pretty much slept through the entire event. I cannot wait for the end of May to hold her again.

Gold Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

Scruffy was the bestest and drove me to a couple stores so that I could get the gold Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Since the 8 is coming out, they were having a promotion so I had to cop one for myself. Other than having issues with tempered glass and cases, I’m loving it. Off to mess around with my phone some more. Ciao!

Last Week’s Shenanigans

Dinner for Scruffy | Ramen

03/03 – Dinner for Scruffy and the famsiciles. My own take on Ramen with generous sides. Soup base not pictured in fears it’ll mess up my picture. Ha!

10 Year High School Reunion | Saint Arnold's Brewery | Houston, Texas

03/04 – 10 year High School Reunion at Saint Arnold’s Brewery. Worth going to see how people turn out. I bumped into more people going to the restroom than being in the main room.

Surprise Crawfish Boil | Scruffy's

03/05 – Scruffy surprised me with a buttload of crawfish. I was such a happy camper. There were so many leftovers but I demolished it the next day … some with June. She said it was PERFECT and would like him to come make more for us one day soon.

Emmerie's Hand | Just Born

03/06 – Emmy is finally born. I can cross being an auntie off my list! I’ll be making an eight hour round trip just to see her face in person this weekend! Eeep! Can’t wait to hold her.

Johnny Junior Melts My Heart

Snapchat Lamb | Mellie Dee

How creep-tastic is this picture? I love that Snapchat continually put up new filters to play with.

I got to see Mallory after getting off work late. We went to Hasta La Pasta with Johnny Junior and headed back to her house where we found John lounging in his recliner waiting for us to bring him dinner.

I got to hold Johnny which I was super excited about …. except for when he’s crying and having the feeling I might drop him. That boy is a kicker and stretcher. It’s so cute. He’s ready to be a soccer player like his parents.

I got him a traditional Chinese jacket, kind of like a changshan but not long. He won’t fit it for this Chinese New Year but it’ll still be cute for him to be wrapped around it. I can’t wait to see him fit into it fully. Eeeeep!

All about Johnny. Why are babies so adorable?

I’m ready to sleep during the weekend. Who wants to cuddle?
