The day before was busy, lot of sightseeing, walking around, etc. Was I tired? Did I want to rest? NO WAY! Hahaha. My guys and me had a wonderful day and started the party with a nice dinner at Gueros – Mexican place – and Margaritas. Chilled out at Chris and got ready for party time! We went t…

Ok, I confess, this was my first TB meet up with a group and I was a bit intimidated. I was sure how everyone would interact, would they recognize me from my photos on line, and would they even show up? I know that all sounds kind of childish, but that what was going through my mind as I drove into…

Have you ever just gotten into one of those moods where everything seemed to be closing in on you. You know what I mean, life and all just begins to move at a much faster pace, the foundation of your entire being is somehow reflected in an image of an old wooden house that has been invaded with ter…

Used Sunday to rest and relax at my hotel, the Courtyard Marriot.  Got a great deal on my stay for a holiday weekend, though wi-fi was not available in all the rooms.  Liked the hotel's location, N Central Expressway is easy to navigate after you understand the Dallas Interstate…

The Christian Campus Center really is a great place worth celebrating. It seems as though everyone in and around the college wanted to be apart of this little bit of history. On this day, we had three churches from the area; Longview Church of Christ, Harris Chappel Church of Christ and the Valley …

The flight was ok. The guys next to me were from Costa Rica, but we didn't talk much, just at the end, haha. I was sleepy and took a nap, hehe. Anyway I woke up on time to chat with them a bit and they helped me with my carry on bag ;)It took me long to leave the plain, uffff. I was thinking I had …

Living in Tornado Alley most of my life you deal with many Tornados.  Tornado Alley would include northern Texas, most of Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska, as well as eastern portions of Colorado and South Dakota. Tonight alone we had 22 Tornados fortunately just a little damage on these small o…

My friend Russell Rush works at the top 40 radio station here in San Antonio. Because of this job, he gets many perks; such as, but not limited to, free concert tickets. Well, Russell being the great guy he is, and me being the unrelenting fan of Augustana that I am, he gave me two free concert tic…

My friends live on the outskirts of the city so we'd spent most of the time around there. Today we were heading downtown. Our first stop was Denny's for a spot of breakfast then we went for a walk over to tower of the Americas. Neither of my friends had actually been up to the top so my visit was t…

Brett, (brett4321) contacted me some time ago to inquire about seminole canyon  and although the place is only 45 minutes away from where I live and I have driven thru there many times I have never stopped.  Despite my lack of information Brett, decided to come and check the pla…

San Antonio is by far our favorite US city.  I have been 6 times and we even tried to relocate there once. Northwest started nonstop flights from Indianapolis to San Antonio on May 2, so of course, we were very excited!  We decided that the weekend of our anniversary would be a perfect t…
