Another late update

I've decided to make some changes by making some daily additions such as "word of the day" and "thing to smile about" feature. It may sound lame but you can never have too many words in your vocabulary or too many smiles in your life. Also, I've made my blog public so that I'm not limited to how many people I can invite to read it.

Speaking of things to smile about, I have to tell you I had a phenomenal 4th of July. My good friend Lisa invited me to head to Austin with her and her husband Andrew's friends and spend the weekend out on Lake Austin. I am so glad I went! The entire weekend was like footage from a movie. The scenery was breathtaking, the weather was perfect, and the company couldn't be beat. I ate everything under the sun (including the tastiest pizza I have ever eaten, thanks to Conan's), but still managed to stay slim and trim thanks to the ab workout I got from all of the laughing. The only thing that I would change if I could is the fact that the fire alarm went off at 6am two nights in a row. It woke us up in both Spanish and English twice the first night and three times the second night. We did manage to get a good laugh out of the fact that the Spanish translation comes across as catastrophic in nature while the English announcement was very calm and calculated. To top it all off the hotel staff apologized with a sincere "thank you for your inconvenience", lol. Some highlights included delicious food at every meal, watching the fireworks from out on the lake, going out in downtown Austin, and hanging out in the cove with a TON of hilarious and eclectic people. Below are some of the pictures from an unforgettable weekend with fantastic people! Thanks again to Lisa and Andrew for letting me tag along!



Hope everyone's 4th was fantastic and that you are all having a fabulous summer. There is more to come, I promise!
