Free Family Activity!

The old adage, You get what you pay for,  doesn't apply to Arlington's newest downtown addition, the Levitt Pavilion.   It opened October 10, 2008 and will have featured 16 different free events by the end of the month.  Yes I said Free!  So your thought processes are probably doing what mine did, "OK if the concerts are free they have to be no-name entry level artists, right? " Wrong!  The array of artists on the schedule are top notch.

A journey into monotony and conformity...

Our quaint little 1940's stone cottage that we painfully and endearingly renovated is on the market.  This is a bitter sweet moment for us.

This home knew the pre-children Tim and Janna...in fact, it got a glimpse of the pre-marriage version.  It is the place we brought two babies home from the hospital, it saw the passing of our great danes sweet old man Hayden and prima donna Ashland.  This has been the place of first steps and the venue for many a casual get together and now it is time for us to move on. We will be leaving behind a box filled with memories, triumphs and love. Hopefully all of that will be extended to next person to call this place home.

What Were You Doing at 19?

I was in my freshman year of college at an undisclosed university that was not a good place for me.  Nevertheless, I was having the time of my life.  I thought I had the entire world in front of me.  I had a taste of freedom, some great friends and like most obnoxious 18 year olds, I thought I was invincible.

My cousin has a beautiful daughter that is 19 years old, her name is Daisha. Daisha is a full-time college student. Recently, Daisha was diagnosed with a thyroid cancer.

Road Blogging

Our road trip has officially started!  Big D is more than a spec in our rear-view mirror, the kids are strapped into their seats hypnotized by what's pouring out of the DVD player and I have my dear friend my wireless broadband card.  How did we travel without all of these luxuries?

Llano Estacado Road Trip Anyone?

We will be leaving town this weekend to partake in some wine tasting at Grape Day 2008.  I can already hear your 2 questions:

• Why go back to Lubbock, haven't you heard that song about happiness and rearview mirrors?
• Why drive to a Grape Day when you live so close to Grapevine, TX which has an annual Grape fest?

Snaps to Snappy Salads

This weekend I acid stained a friends concrete floors.  He was all jazzed up about a stained concrete floor at this place called Snappy Salads.  So Tim & I decided to go check out the floors and have lunch.  The minute I walked in I knew this was my kind of place!  In fact, I am shocked that I didn't already know about this place!

After Dark in the Park

Friday evening we went to one of my favorite events for little kids, After Dark in the Park at River Legacy. 

Hola!

Welcome to my blog Metro Mommy

Many of you are probably wondering why I just took on a blog when it appears Tim & I have no free time. Recently, we  woke up from a baby growing, toddler raising fog and realized it was time to get our lives back!
