USF from far away and some more.

















A few things to catch you guys up with our life, We are being very responsible and trying to save some money in order to be able to travel to a few of our much desired destinations next year. Therefore, we have been staying home most weekends. Peter is also working a second job on the weekends. He found a way to get paid for doing something he loves...SOCCER! He is refereeing for soccer games played on the weekends. I was a very mean wife and on his first day of work told him it was Halloween at the Mennite's household :) I took pictures so that all of you could enjoy, We also had our second IRON Chef battle with the Marquis. This time the secret ingredient was peaches/nectarines, Again, we probably tied but I was able to capture a few pics of the dishes we made. As I was uploading the pics, I realized we didn't take pics of us during the battle! I am very confident that for the third Iron chef battle with them, we will achieve victory!!!! So Amanda and Tony.....watch out!!! :) We also grill out and experiment ALOT with food, we are becoming quite the chefs here! Good preparation for when we get together with our family and friends. We have been able to enjoy all of our new "stuff" that we got for our wedding! Please enjoy pics of Peter, Monica, Monopoly and Jaxon's weekends tailgatting, grilling, fantasy football, battle iron chef with the Marquis' and just staying home!

Moral of the Story: If we cook for you, you will love it because we are getting very good!

Our senior citizen puppies

We have used this blog for almost 2 years now to keep our loved ones informed of the events in our life. We have always been able to share happy moments, great memories, and good times in our life. This post is a little different than the usual ones. Monopoly and Jaxon have been a part of our lives for a long long time. Monopoly turns 9 in a few weeks and Jax turns 11 in May. Although our pups love to play (Monopoly mostly with humans and jaxy pretty much wants to play with anything or anyone at anytime)they don't have major medical problems, eat and go to the bathroom normally, we still knew that soon the boys would start entering their "older age". About 2 weeks ago, Monopoly started acting extremely out of character. For those who know "M Junior" (M Junior or MJ is one of Monopoly's many nicknames, Junior because he is Monica's junior) know that he is extremely smart, extremely verbal, a little socially awkward, socially phobic and never ever e...

A broom and the salt bottle

So we finally moved this weekend! How is it that we still have so much crap??? The move is really what inspired this blog story. I've been with Monica for some years now and during those years, we have had MANY moves, so I still don't now how Monica's superstitious "Colombian" beliefs still amuse me! According to Monica's family, when one moves, they leave behind the old broom and the bottle of salt. The reason is because you leave the bad luck from the old home (symbolized by the broom and salt bottle) and you buy new ones representing the good luck that will come in the new home. The funny part is that I can probably write a book regarding Monica and her family's superstitions (spiders, flies, pearls, dolls, glass breaking, the list goes on and on, but those other stories will be for future blogs). For now let's focus on the broom and the salt. It was our first night in the new place, monIca and I decided to grill out in celebration for a ha...
