March 2nd...Waco, TX MMA Fight

Last weekend John and I were in Waco, Texas for his first Mixed Martial Arts Fight. He did a GREAT job. Didn't win, but put on a good show for the crowd!! I took some pictures of him and his friends fighting. After the fights we drove to Round Rock, TX (just outside Austin) and got a hotel. The next morning we went to IKEA and got stuff for Holly and Heather's showers.

Kathleen's Visit

John's sister Kathleen visited us from Salt Lake City the weekend of February 10th. We had a great time taking her to the Alamo, Riverwalk, Salt Grass Steakhouse, and the Palladium. We went on a Riverboat tour at night and of course hit up some cheesy souvenier shops!!

Me and John at the Alamo....I know it's so cute you want to puke.

The new couch!

For those of you that don't know...We bought a new couch!! The problem is that it was too big to get in the front door...so we had to navigate through the parking lot around the sides of the apartments, over the backyard fence and through the back porch....these are the only pictures I could get before John and Mayberry yelled at me for not helping.....

February 9, 2007

Well the new year is here...actually it's been here for a while, but I'm pretty behind these days...and I have decided that I should post a blog to let everyone in the families know what is going on at pretty much any given time.

We are still living in the apartment on the North/Central/West side of San Antonio. Brockton and Sadie LOVE their backyard and are out there playing in it right now.

They were both at the vet this week and things are good, except for Sadie who has been throwing up quite frequently. Dr Hubenak gave us some living bacteria to sprinkle on her food that should add the bacteria she's lacking into her intestinal tract...oh wonderful. He also gave us some anti vomiting medicine. Brockton was perfect at the vet, and a very concerned older brother (he kept jumping up on the table to see what they were doing to poor Sadie!)

John is training for his upcoming MMA fights. He was in a Muay Thai smoker and some grappling tournaments, but this is his first Mixed Martial Arts fight. He's been training very hard, and not eating anything good. His fights are February 17th here in San Antonio, and then March 2nd in Waco, TX.

Here's a pic of him with some of the guys from his gym.

He's still working as an electrician, but is considering getting a security guard position at West because it's so close to the house. His truck has been giving him some problems, so that would make his life easier.

As for me, I'm out of the Army and working full time at Mercedes. Where I was recently told I am now "head cashier", which really doesn't mean anything, except that I get yelled at more. I'm in night school 4 nights a week. I also start my weekend waitressing job at Gringo's Mexican Kitchen tomorrow morning at 9 (well it's really just training for the first 4-5 days).

Other then that we are all doing great. Kathleen (John's sister) is going to be here this weekend, and we are gonna check out the Riverwalk and Rudy's Barbecue and probably a few other places. I'll post some pictures once we take them!!
