Well, hello friends! I'm currently en route to NY, sitting in first class eating filet mignon and sipping a glass of wine. Have I mentioned I absolutely l-o l-o l-o-v-e my job? It's a perfect fit for me. We are headed to NY and Canada, and will return Sunday. This will be my first time to visit the big apple, I'm thinking this...
That is the amount of miles we've driven. We are nearing the end of our journey. Fin, Ike and I are together in the 17FT U-Haul (we named Beast) towing his car, moving slow and going through a crazy amount of gas. Let's talk about the beast. The seats don't recline, there is little leg room, only the FM radio, and it's LOUD....
Well, almost...It wouldn't be a Lee experience if it wasn't a little bit complicated. We planned to leave yesterday and be in California this evening, but Thursday night I was up all night vomiting and slept until 1:30 in the afternoon yesterday hoping to shake whatever I had. Ike tried to pick up our U-Haul truck and trailer yesterday afternoon but they were...
My Thanksgiving post may be lacking in punctuality, but overflowing in thankfulness.... I'm thankful for our families who have done more for us than we can say. The sacrifices they've made for us, the love they always give us, and their support have done more for us than we can express. They've carried us in our darkest of hours when our spirits were...
Well, it's Tuesday evening and my work week is over! I got up this morning super early (okay, 7:15) and helped pack and run errands for A's trip to New York for Thanksgiving. While everyone is going to relax and enjoy this Holiday Ike, Fin and I are DRIVING to Texas! We leave tonight and drive BACK to Los Angeles this weekend with...
WHAT a weekend! Friday night was date night and Ike took me to the Grove. It's one of the most popular outdoor shopping areas in Los Angeles. It has a Farmer's Market (established in 1905), an amazing movie theater, Christmas decor, snow that falls, and restaurants. We walked around, ate dinner and shopped! It was so nice to be on a date with...
I know it's been a happy Friday here in LaLa land for a few reasons of which I'll list below: #1. I'M GOING TO NEW YORK! I've never been and I get to go November 30-December 4th. I cannot wait to take it all in. I've seriously been down playing it and then I get in my car and scream!!!! #2. It's Friday...
Yesterday was such a fabulous day I'm not even sure where to begin..I had a quiet morning updating my iPhone and playing around the house with plans of doing nothing when Ike's cousin called me and asked me to come over and hangout! I happily obliged, excited to have someone to talk to and hangout with. We spent the afternoon watching Disney movies...
Wow! What a whirlwind the past 2 days have been! Dad and I got to LA Sunday afternoon and I have been flying since my feet have hit the ground... Sunday Ike and I were reunited for the first time in 16 days! It felt surreal when I saw him and got to kiss him! We showed dad around LA including In and...
But not without making some memories! Dad drove 1100 miles yesterday. He wouldn't let me drive which I'm honestly not complaining about. During our last fill up in Wilcox, Arizona dad and I were involved in a gun battle! We had just pulled out of the gas station and were waiting for the light to turn green when we heard what we thought...
Phew. We made it to El Paso and I'm not trying to crawl out of the car...Yet. Honestly, I'm surprised at how well I'm hanging out. It's been a peaceful trip with good tunes (Willie, Kenny Chesney, Asleep at the Wheel (a fav of dad and mine), Bob Marley and some other classics. We're in mountain time zone now, it sounds so silly...
Dad and I woke up at 4:30 this morning to leave Dallas for Los Angeles. Today we are driving all the way to Phoenix to stay with Ike's family for the night and tomorrow we will get up early and finish the drive. So far so good, we've stopped once for gas and to tell Finley have a break, too. Music in the...
"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at...
My oldest sister, Erin and I have been hanging out everyday this week. I thought it would be fun to take her to the Galleria yesterday and help her shop for her fall/winter clothes and mom even took off work to play with us! Erin needed to bring Kayla (she's 17 months) and I had no idea what I was in for... How could this...
On the road, yet again. This past week I've traveled up and down IH35 more than I can count on both hands. Since we packed up our house and Ike left last week I've been staying with his parents about an hour north of Austin and commuting to my salon everyday. 35 is enough to make the sanest person CRAZY but I am...
Every Thursday (okay, at least in November) I'm going to do a Thankful Thursday post. Today is easy. I'm thankful for Face Time. Ike has been gone for almost a week now and I'm really struggling tonight. You see, I'm used to seeing him as soon as I wake up, coming home to him, kissing him goodnight and falling asleep safely in his...
