2 Random People

My photo
San Antonio, Texas, United States
We are the most random people you will meet. Sometimes we just like to stay at home and be comfortable and some times we like a good adventure. We both know for certain that we like to help those less fortunate than ourselves (hence why we both work in similar fields) and that we have a unique backgrounds. Larry is intelligent, calm, and humble. Some of his favorite things are traveling, Batman, watching basketball, and making friends with the neighborhood cats. Bridgedette is smart, friendly, and a go getter. Some of her favorite things are watching Matt Lauer on the TODAY Show in the morning, eating cheeps and learning about new things. We have been laughing together since 2008 and plan to do so for the rest of our lives.

Closing out the Month of March

Bridgedette's Thoughts:

Flowers!

Hooray, spring has sprung in Texas and the Bluebonnets are HERE!

....and with Spring the Pollens have also sprung....not so good for my nose. But anytime that I can take a walk outside I do. With the sun shining and a nice cool breeze I found these flowers on the Palo Alto College campus; to me, it looks like a star.

Also, we had a "special project" at work, making paper flowers for our on campus event called PAC FEST (http://www.alamo.edu/pac/htm/new/homepage/campusNews/2011/News_Release_2011.pdf)....yes, Fiesta is around the corner!







Batman SAVES THE DAY!

Last week I bought a new pair of black shoes for work. They were supposed to be "comfort" style shoes, except they rubbed on my heels and created blisters! Not fun for me....thank God for Batman!





San Antonio Education Partnership's Road to Success College Conference


Larry and I help out with the former organization that I was employed with, The San Antonio Education Partnership. Each year SAEP organizes a College Conference for the 25 San Antonio high schools that it services. This year it was held at The University of Texas' Main Campus. 900 High School Students showed up!!! WOW!!

Dinner with the Perez Family

Yesterday the Perez Family got together for dinner at La Fogota. The food and Company was fun and heart warming! I love it when we get together to catch up!








Flexing my Green Thumb

Sunday's are a great time to spend with family. I went over to my parents home to visit and my Dad and I ended up on an adventure at Home Depot and Walmart. He helped me pick out the suppiles for my tomato plant and bell pepper plant. The evening ended with a great steak dinner and a ton of laughs!





Until Next Blog...Have a good week!
