Its been a while. Zimmerman reminds me of that monthly. Sorry I don't post all that often. I can't really post anything about school. It would not be HIPPA compliant unfortunately. Maybe I will have a list of crazy things kids say one day for y'all. Here are some recent ramblings as of March 23rd...
My friend Zimmy is no longer at the end of the alphabet when you alphabetize people by their last names. She is now at the beginning of the alphabet. She managed to alphabet climb from Z all the way to A. She always did everything to the best of her ability, and if she was going to move up in the alphabet, it had to be to an A. Being an M, not worth it, but an A, now that's something ;)
Breezy and I consider ourselves lucky to have been able to celebrate you two! And we wish you many, many years of happiness. I think Breezy's mustache would say the same thing. (Also, if you get married in Athens, consider having your rehearsal dinner at High Wire... the food and alcohol to die for. Granted, Breezy and I never get to eat Southern food so our eyes were as big as our stomachs - boiled peanuts, fried okra, pimento cheese (no one outside of the south knows what this delicacy is), grits...). Oh, did I mention that I finally caught the bouquet? Trained hard for that one.
My brother got a puppy! How precious is this one?
I defended my thesis and passed!!!
Breezy bought a tandem bike. This is the hit of our parties. Everyone likes to take it for a spin. Thinking about getting married? You should buy a tandem bike. There are many articles that speak to the importance of it such as this
one.
My dad surprised me and showed up for my presentation of my thesis to the department. Meant the world to me. I kept saying, "I can't believe you are here. Are you seriously here?" It now makes sense why Breezy was cleaning so frantically that week.
Our friend made it to his 500th unique beer on Untappd. This is quite an undertaking, so Breezy and I made him a cake.
We started gardening, so we went composting. Stinky stinky stinky. I am pretty sure the wind blew some in to my eye... eek.
I got hooded! Thanks parents.
My dad decided to ride the tandem bike. Solo... Typical.
Nana fed the babies some pup cups (ice cream cups for the puppies from Freddy's, it is amazing how much free stuff they get just by being in the car and riding through drive throughs, from here on out they will always hover over my shoulder when I pull through one).
I got to see the bean in Chicago at 7:30 in the morning (btw, no one is out at this time).
Got to see this sexy momma.
Convinced some people to go kayaking through downtown Chicago one night. AMAZING!
Pretty pretty.
Gave my first professional presentation at our international conference (Dad I think I slowed my talking down)
We went to Miami, and Breezy had a really inappropriate conversation with Siri.
BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE
Popping champagne.
War damn eagle :)
Jet skiing with my man!
Mallard likes to eat corn on the cob. And she eats it properly.
Zimmy... excuse me Aquiny (that doesn't really work... I will stick to Zimmy-Aquino) came to visit! And we went to Boulevardia and made some beautiful memories.
We got another visitor. I must admit, living in the middle of the country has some perks, particularly when you know people that live west and east of the middle. We get to welcome those traveling across the country and give them a place to stay! And we of course enjoy the company.
We gave our visitors the Juanico-Foster breakfast treatment, from which they may never recover. Zimmy-Aquino probably has nightmares from the dogs trying to lick her feet.
Trombone shorty at KC Crossroads.
Some produce from our salsa garden. These are jalapeños. A bell pepper just popped down as well as two tomatoes!
And I reminisced on how much the puppies had grown up, while Breezy was getting his heart checked (all clear!).
Needless to say, a lot has happened between March 23 and June 23. Wow, that is weird and definitely was not planned (the dates of my two posts). Until next time adventurers.
keep adventuring,
~ j.
