Exercise in Excerise

Lawry and I decided that it would be a good exercise in discipline to wake up when the sun wakes up.  I was all about it on the phone the night before, all "This is so great, we can do it together... sort of! I'm excited!" That was 9 pm Jo.  At 6:10 when Lawry called to wake me up, my brain thought "Oh man... what did I get myself into?? Is this what our marriage will be like?  Will he have to know if I go back to sleep, is that bad??"  In the end, I decided that Lawry was right and we should be le disciplinarians and such, so I put on my Asics.  I really enjoyed it though.  My run was great.  And, I really liked Lawry's perspective on it.  Anyway, I had breakfast with my parents and it gave me a great boost of morning energy.  I think I like the morning work out plan.  Plus, I need to get the heart rate up if I'm going to keep going on calorie-filled adventures, like...

Avanti's Italian with the Zambrano(-Welches)! We went to Dallas to have dinner with my parents' friends after the Molly & David Love Spectacular.  The dinner was "Heyyyyy Uptown!"

Also, as you'll note, we are very safe people. Click it or ticket!

And...

Lawry and I at Fuzzy's Taco Shop in Lewisville! So. good. Russell found the butt-burning sauce quite amusé. And, I thought I was in a dream because the tacos were so good.  Grilled shrimp is my way to go.


WAIT, there's more! We went to Tropical Sno on Ole Orch in the Lew! Passion Fruit Sno-cone with cream on top? Yes, please.  Cream is definitely worth the 50 cents.

AND... just when you thought my calorie gorging was over...

'Appy 'our at Barcadia on Henderson with Blarrr and the most recent generation of Bonsites! We had a Firemen's Four and a Lawnmower.  One 1554 for anyone that can guess what those are :) Also, go to Barcadia if you're in Dallas.  It is an arcade for adults. Massive connect-four, jenga made out of two-by-fours, a pretty fun deck, and old school arcade games inside.  I'm not really a gamer-nerd, but once I drop a metallic-Washington into a Pacman game, I'm hooked until I'm out of pocket change.

IT'S STILL NOT OVER!

Mi mamá and I visited Zaguán's Latin American Bakery (read: Venezuelan food) on Oaklawn (again, HEYYYY Uptown) after a vair successful dress hunt session.  Holler for getting wed things done.  Mamá is tres helpful.  Anyway, I think it was that early morning run that set my whole day on the right track, thanks Lawrinator.

Getting MARRIED(!!!) in Denton at FUMC Denton with a reception at UNT on May 28, 2011,

The closing pages of the book club

Hello bloggies! I have made it to the other side of the wedding-fest!  It is a happy place to be, but I do miss my sweet friends.  Both of the weddings were so... THEM! Blash had a visual array of pinks and Molly's had quirks and sweetness.  Very them :)  Anyway, I started using a new camera to capture these moments, and I don't know if I don't how to use it yet or if it just doesn't like me, so forgive me for washing-out, blurriness, or yellow/red tints to everything.  Yay for the besties and the Davids!

A little love for the baked goods trio!

If there is something Blake LOVES, it's David. And Blair's massages :)

Good bye Mrs. Spann!

Hermana is just really good looking.  I covet her hair, in a sane and healthy way :)

Mooooolllayyyy K. Levy... that is how you appear in my phone, minus a few vowels and plus a lot more consonants.

Every girl needs great besties.  Boys too for that matter :)  If I have little girls one day (Lord, please.... GIRLS.), I hope they have besties like Molly and Blake.  Until next time mes bloggz amies!

Waiting for the rain to clear up,
Mals.Jo.

And the BLOCKS shall declare their loff

My bestie Blake had her bridal shower this weekend, so here's some pictures! I'm starting to get all saptastic about my two besties getting married on back-to-back weekends.  It'll be a wedding-a-thon and emotion-off. Well, one day til Blake's an MRS!

Excited about standing with my friends during their weddings,
MJ

Speaking of Seldom Seen Things

I know I blogged about Blarski's farm in fit of Texas adoration back in January, but the Atch farm is undeniably fantastic.  It deserves a re-blogging.  Perhaps most of its attraction is the time spent with good friends, but mostly I think the farm is so great because I get to see one of the best things about Texas with my good friends.  'Cause lets be honest, I see them at dinners, our respective houses and Fat Straws (blog about THAT, forthcoming), so the farm is special, because the farm has sunsets!

 I heart Texas sunsets because they take up the entire sky.

Hmm, seldom seen places, seldom seen friends

Rewarding the bloggers with frequent posts after my extended absence,

Yay! He's the best thing about Texas.

Growing in cheesiness everyday,
