Big Bro's Birthday!

I just wanted to give a shout out to my favorite brother, Chris! I love you so very much and look forward to all the days that we are able to be together and celebrate! We wish you all the love and cheer for your birthday! Enjoy every moment of it!

Food On The Table



Many of us are looking for fast and easy ways to save a few dollars when it comes to making purchases. Some of us already have such a great way to save. It could include couponing, price matching, searching for deals on various websites... These are all amazing! I just have received information that might be another fun way to help us thrifty shoppers out.

This past week, a co-worker/friend sent me a link to a really amazing meal planning website called Foodonthetable.com. Click here for a free 30 day trial! It allows you to build a week's worth of recipes, menus, and even a shopping list based on the sale items located at your local grocery store.

Enjoy another fun resource tool for planning fun and easy meals for the fam!

Love,
Alicia

I am so excited! Our wedding album is almost done. Here is one of the page layouts... and I absolutely love it. It is our First Sight! I couldn't have imagined anything more memorable.

Tidit Tuesday: My Rock!

Well it's about that time again. Time for our weekly Tuesday Tidbits! I've been thinking a lot lately of time and of where I want to be; where I want our family to be; what I want to do. It's been so amazing how God works in our lives. Sometimes we are desperately searching for answers and at other times we understand the wait... I really do think this is one of the first times in my life that I'm just so thankful where we are and have an understanding that it truly is all in HIS hands and in HIS time... not our own. And with all that is going on in our lives... it's amazing to have a balance... a rock that is never changing and continues to keep me grounded. Speaking of all that is crazy, this Tidbit Tuesday, I wanted to provide you with all the fun upcoming activities. Wedding Central! There are about 5 weddings I will be attending this year alone. This truly amazes me. It is such a wonderful moment and I am so thankful and honored to share in it. - Rebecca & Beau's Wedding - Colleen & Jason's Wedding - Kaylan & James Wedding - Danny & Jessica's Wedding - Daniela & Robert's Wedding - April 2-4 Easter Weekend - April 10 Wedding - April 14 Ray's Birthday - April 16-18 Kaylan's Bachelorette/Bridesmaid Weekend - April 24 Wedding - May 1 The Newly Wed Game with our ABF - May 2 Engage Sunday and Warrior Dash - May 7 Farrah's Birthday - May 10 3 years out of college - May 15 Wedding - May 18 Ryan's Birthday - May Family Vaca in Florida with the Zellner family - June 12 Ashlyn's Recital - June 19 Daniela's Bridal Shower Yes we have definitely been on the fast track since we got married.

Green is the New Pink!

This past Saturday we hosted a sweet bridal shower honoring one of my best friends Kaylan. It was a themed shower that incorporated many unique details including her favorite color (green) and a tree theme that will also be carried throughout the wedding. Before the special day, I presented Kaylan with her very unique bridal shower invitation... a white basket that held her invite as well as cute key limes, thank you notes, and a note pad to include fun wedding details. Green is the new Pink! March 27, 2010

New Fitness Blog!


Hello! I've created a new blog that I devoted specifically to fitness. It will include goals, tips, and real life commentary. I ask you to join with me and let's help keep each motivated and accountable as we try to accomplish our fitness goals... One Hour at a Time! Just click on the link on the right hand side listed under "My Blogs" or click here

STATE of MIND!

With all this travel talk I began to think about all the fun places we've been and all the places I would love to go... and it gave me an idea for a blog post. As the title suggests... I will write down all the major places I've visited and their corresponding states. Texas: lived in Texas all my life: Born in Austin; Lived in Bonham, Beaumont, Sugar Land, College Station, Plano, Richardson. I have/had family in Sugar Land, Wimberly, San Marcos, Mt. Vernon, Mt. Pleasant, and Ft. Worth. Oklahoma: I've been to OK several times since Ray and I moved to Dallas for picnics, camping trips, and our engagement weekend with friends. When I was younger, my family went on an extended road trip to Yellowstone National Park and to see the horses that my father purchased in Oregon. We traveled through... Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and Oregon. My family also took a trip to Florida for a fun time in Disney World. We traveled through Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. A few years ago, Ray and I spent our Spring Break in New York! I also have wonderful Zellner family members that live in Alabama including my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and sweet niece. We travel through Alabama and Georgia quite often. For business I've traveled to North Carolina (plane broke down in South Carolina... so I guess I will count that state as well), Florida and Toronto, Canada. Vacations have also taken me to Cabo (Duke Wedding), Playa Del Carmen, and Cancun. As I've previously stated there are so many places that I can't wait to go! Here is my current wish list. (in no particular order): 1. Chicago 2. Boston 3. Miami 4. San Francisco 5. San Diego 6. Napa 7. Anywhere in Colorado!!! Hope you enjoy! Feel free to add your comments and add any fun places to this (kind of small) list! I'm always looking for new opportunities!

Welcoming Spring 2010!

This has been one record breaking winter... with snow falls that have topped the charts! While I have loved every minute of it (almost... I am not a big fan of driving in the wintry mix) I am absolutely ready for Spring to arrive! I love the beautiful weather and the newness of the season! I love going to the park, picnics, camping, and of course all the beautiful new flowers. I just crave being outside! Here are a few pictures of my favorite past activities! The Dallas Arboretum Picnics in the Park! Road Trips & Camping with the pups! The Dallas Fair! Secret rendezvous with my hubby! Celebrating Christ: The true meaning of Easter! Happy Spring!

Little Bunny Fu Fu!

Olivia's Easter Bunny Pics! So I wonder if you can tell how proud of an auntie I am;) I just love this little girl so much and think she is absolutely adorable. When I saw these cute little Easter/Spring pictures on my sister-in-laws blog I just had to post them so more people could see this little cutie and to brag about my favorite niece of course!
