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.

Where Does the Time Go??

Bridgedette's Thoughts:

WOW! Its October!?!?! and now Im 30?!?! Where does the time go?

So many life events have taken place over the past few months. Summer was a complete blur to us with traveling, work (registration and new student orientations) and just life itself.


A little recap:




  • Bridgedette is still working for the Alamo Colleges. She no longer does First Time In College Student Advising, but is now in charge of Graduation at PAC, that means I have to complete over 1,000 degree audits by hand and look over 100 course subsitutions.


  • She Turned 30 on September 25th!...and she has survived to tell the tale!


  • She is still torn between going to Law School and persuing a PhD., but has decided to take classes to earn an Associates in Paralegal Studies (YES, Still going to classes).



  • Larry is no longer working for the Alamo Colleges and now works at Cafe College (http://www.cafecollege.org/home). Its the City of San Antonio's "One Stop Shop" for anyone wanting information on how to prepare and apply to college. His job allows him more freedom to be creative and use his Public Relation skills as he promotes Cafe College and has one on one advising sessions with all students wanting to enroll in college.


  • He is also working very hard at his Masters classes in Organizational Leadership at Our Lady of the Lake University. (I'm SO Proud of him!!)


  • In his spare time he tries to keep me organized and sane, as I forget that there are only 24 hours in a day and tend to over schedule...I can be a super hero too, right?


Between all of these changes, we are still planning our wedding; here it comes February 25, 2012!! Larry and his 2 best men have been fited for their attire and so have I. The big decisions are all check off, but the little details are still afoot. Here is a small website that we started and will be updating with the details: http://weddings.theknot.com/pwp/pwp2/view/MemberPage.aspx?coupleId=8034282314144067





On top of all this, I was slected by my Vice President of Student Affairs to attend the NACADA Advising Conference.
