Cabbage Salad Recipe
Summer Snack and Fault in Our Stars
I have to show off my new onion googles. I great family friend sent these to me and I am LOVING THEM! I was chopping up an onion the other day and my eyes were watering and burning so bad. Then I remembered I had onion googles and I threw them on and they work so good. Everyone needs some of these.
This is Eric's all time favorite snack. I go all the way to Costco to get this big box so he can put them in his drawer at work. I have no idea how he goes through all of these as fast as he does.
There is a great story behind this picture so I thought that I would share. Eric was traveling last week for work and it was a rainy day I decided that I was going to do the Costco shopping that day. It is a 40 minute drive there and then back. We usually go on Saturdays but I had nothing going on so I thought I would do it. I drove down there fine and did all of the shopping and got it all loaded in the car. I started driving back and it starting pouring! When it rains in Texas, it rains hard! I couldn't even see the car in front of me. I got home and realized that I had to carry it all inside, in the rain. It took me 4 trips but I got it all in and was drenched by the end of it all. I set up everything on our kitchen table for a picture and sent it to Eric. I told him how horrible it was and that I would never do that again. This was the second time I have done this without him and I am for sure waiting for him next time. His response was,"That's my Girl!" :)
I finished Fault In Our Stars the other night! I have to say I loved the book but not the ending. I am going to go see the movie this week and see which one I like better. It was a great read though if you need a good book to read!

Boston
(I have no idea what I am doing in this picture) My dad looks great though!
The week was full of meetings for my dad but we of course found some time to go to Anthropologie and do some shopping and we had a lot of fun spending time together.
So glad this lady lives in Houston! She is a life saver!
Besides spending time with my dad and my other family that was there, my favorite part about Boston was remembering my Grandpa Neal. He was the last of the 3 brothers that passed away. He passed away in November and they did a big tribute to him while we were there. I enjoyed hearing stories about him and everyone talking about how much they loved him. It was incredible to be there and see what an incredible company my Grandpa and his 2 brothers have built. I know they all 3 are in heaven proud of what it has and will continue to become. I love you forever and ever Grandpa!

Pina Coladas
The Cecil's have Pina Coladas at their house on hot summer days! These are so good. Of course I had to pick up some umbrellas so we can feel like we are in Hawaii. Aloha!

Cecil's to Visit
This past week, Eric's parents and sister came to see us here in Houston. It was fun to have some visitors. We don't get to see them very often because they live in West Virginia so it was fun to spend time together. We did lots of relaxing, playing games, eating yummy food, and just spending time together.
We went to cheer on the Houston Astros at the baseball game. That was super fun! There is Astros stuff in every grocery store that I walk into. It is fun to live in a state where there is a MLB, NBA, and NFL team. I guess when you live in the 4th largest city that is a given.
We had a great time! I made them my favorite blueberry muffins and there is just nothing like fresh fruit from Costco. We love having visitors. It helps the move far away from family much easier.

Eric took off a couple days while they were here so we took them to the Temple, to check out Costco, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston (Eric's sister is an art major so she really wanted to go), and The Galleria (The best mall out there and the closest Nordstrom to us. We have to drive an hour each way to get there. The one five minutes away will be done in September). Thank goodness! We also went to the Taco Stand which is my favorite Tex-Mex place out here and Eric and his Dad had to go try some Texas BBQ of course.

We have a guest bedroom and bathroom all set up now so anyone can come visit Houston, TX and see us!
