Baby proof

Time for some blog-babbling. Here are some pictures to proof that my growing bump is not because I have been going heavy on the beer.

Happy First Birthday!

It's been one year already. Happy birthday, Blog.

I have a good excuse for the abandonment of the last months: pregnancy. I know, why haven't I written more about this quite important journey? simple -I have had a very challenging 7 months, with lots of pregnancy symptoms that made any activity on the social scene impossible. Here I am though, at 31 weeks, waiting for the big day and ready to summarize last summer, fall, and, of course, our ongoing winter.

Ia Orana Bora Bora!

It's been long since I have paid attention to my beloved blog. I have a good excuse. A while ago I mentioned that my husband and I were planning a trip, so all the time I was absent from the internet noise was because I was planning our trip to Bora Bora, traveling to Bora Bora, and coming back from Bora Bora.

I am oh-so-sad to be writing this post today because it means our trip is in the past -we are back home; but i am oh-so-happy we were able to have this experience.

One Bite

A while ago we spotted this "new kid" on the block of japanese restaurants on one of our many trips to/from our dentist office . We even mentioned a few times that we wanted to try it since it was so close to our house and we like sushi so much. However, it was one of those places we never remembered -not even the name- unless we drove by it.

Out of the blue, a couple of months ago the Groupon of the day was for a japanese-tapas restaurant, we bought it intrigued by this new concept since we had never been to one that wasn't spanish tapas before. Little did we know it was the same place, we realized it the moment we were turning up the street, partly because, as I mentioned before, we didn't remember the name and partly because the directions and address given by Groupon were taking us to Quivera St instead of Antioch St.

Room 39

This “Seasonal American” restaurant, as described on their website, shows pride in using local ingredients to provide the best flavors on your plate. I have to agree with them, loved pretty much everything I had.

Mr. Mather and I celebrated our birthdays here with the 4 course meal they recommend for first timers. You get soup or salad, one half appetizer, one half entree and one half dessert. My husband opted for soup and salad and skipped dessert (knowing Paciugo would be on our way home, of course). How to even begin to describe the food.

It's all because of the food.

Oh, my lonely and forgotten blog. I haven't been good with the updates lately, although I have been busy, it hasn't been entirely because of that. I have to say that the increasing frustration with my internet provider and the constant let-ME-try-to-type attitude from Ursula, my cat, have some to do with it, but most importantly I blame it on the food.

Road Trip: Colorado Springs/Norris Wedding.

A little over a month ago Chris received a call from our friend Nash to tell him that his summer wedding had been moved to march. Location was also moved, it would no longer be in Texas but in Colorado. We wouldn't have missed it for the world -of course- but it was too late to find good airfares; we went for the more wallet-friendly option and made it a road trip.
