We went to San Antonio for a day, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed it. We saw the Riverwalk, the Alamo, La Villita, and the Tower. We ate at Fuddrucker’s before driving back to Pflugerville. Andrés bought me a magnet of San Antonio, and Señora Jackie gave us one of the photos and a frame from the Tower of the Americas. We celebrated Memorial Day the next day with grilled burgers and hotdogs. We drove back to Dallas that night. Andrés and I ended up staying in Dallas longer than we originally intended, but we still enjoyed our time. We rented a car and drove home today, since Andrés’s parents won’t be coming to Baton Rouge until the 15th, and a flight or Greyhound was too expensive. I had fun in Dallas, but I’m glad to be home. It was a little cramped at the Aguilars’ place. Of course, with all the clutter, my house isn’t much better. 😆 Our next trip is to Austin for RTX and SGC in July. Until the next adventure—–

28 May 2016

We’re in Pflugerville at Margarita’s house. We just had lunch – tacos and enchiladas – and are resting at the house before going out to explore. I think we’re going to downtown Austin later, and tomorrow we’re going to San Antonio, since the traffic that direction was so bad today.

Andrés, Tati, and Señor Gabriel are watching a football match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. They’re tied 1-1 at 120:30 now.

Oh! I need to remember to grab a magnet each of Austin or Pflugerville and of San Antonio. I’ll write again later or tomorrow. We’ll see—–

26 May 2016

I slept through a lot of the day when we got to the Aguilars’ apartment on Tuesday, and again yesterday. Andrés, Tati, and I went to a drive-in theater last night to see Ratchet & Clank. It was so good! Today, Andrés and I drove around downtown, just to explore. We’re leaving tomorrow to spend the weekend with Margarita in Austin – or rather, Pflugerville. I’ve been recording video clips whenever I can, and hopefully I can remember to take more pictures, too.

OH! Also, Arda Wigs recently added a style that looks EXACTLY like Raven, so I get to keep my silver one in its current condition! Yay! I’ll write again tomorrow. Until then—–

24 May 2016

Andrés & I are at New Orleans International waiting to board our flight to Dallas. It’s 8:16 and we don’t start boarding until 9:25. We’ll be flying into Dallas/Lovefield. I’m debating whether to eat something before take-off. Last time I flew, I got sick on final descent without a barf bag, and the contents were the smoothie I had just before. Andrés is getting food, and then I’m going to search for available headphones – I’ve lost my white pair of buds. I’ll write again from Dallas—–

25 April 2016

Mom & I are packing and getting ready to head home. I’ll write again from home.—–

We’re home! Mom & I are home, and we can’t wait for our next trip together! Until the next adventure—–

24 April 2016

Rachel & Zach’s wedding was beautiful! Rachel looked gorgeous, the food was delicious, there was music & dancing. Apparently today was Aunt Monica and Uncle Lenny’s 34th anniversary. Rachel planned that to happen! All night I kept thinking about my wedding, when it eventually happens. I cried a little when Rachel danced with her dad because, sadly, I will never be able to do that now. Oh well…

We sent off Rachel & Zach with sparklers at the end of the night. They’re going to Hawaii for their honeymoon! I think I want to honeymoon in Europe. I’ll figure it all out eventually. Lord knows I have plenty of time to think about it. We’re heading back home tomorrow. Until then—–

23 April 2016

We went to the Doucet house today. The whole family was there, and Uncle Lenny grilled meat for fajitas. The food was really good. I started playing Quelf with my cousins – Ian, Daniel, Chloe, Duncan, & Louise – but we barely got into the game before we went outside to play cornhole. I snapped an entire roll of film last night and today. I’m saving my other roll for the wedding tomorrow. I’m so excited for Rachel! This is the first wedding I will consciously witness ever! I’ve been to weddings before, but every one I went to happened when I was really young, so I don’t remember any of them at all.

All this wedding stuff has me thinking about what my wedding will be like one day… It’s silly, but I really, REALLY hope I marry Andrés. He’s so amazing and wonderful and perfect for me. Funnily enough, as of today, he and I have been dating for 2 years and 10 months. We’ll hit 3 years in June! Crazy, right? Anyway, I’ve been working on my documented argument for English, so I’m really tired. I’m gonna relax and go to bed. Until tomorrow—–

22 April 2016

Mom & I drove to Houston from Baton Rouge today after boarding the dogs & the cat with the vet. Traffic was pretty bad in Lake Charles, but the drive was nice otherwise. We sat in the hotel lobby and hung out with family for a while, and now we’re getting ready for bed. Until tomorrow—–

12 January 2016

This past weekend (7-10 Jan) Hailey, Andrés, and I went to Wizard World Comic Con in New Orleans. Hailey and I cosplayed Sailor Jupiter and Luna on Friday. We walked around the dealer’s room and bought some merchandise. On Saturday, Hailey wore her completed Yugi Muto cosplay for the first time, and she was a big hit! I wore Emma Swan and got quite the reception myself. We saw a cosplay panel, the Smash tournament, and the costume contest. The power went out in the hotel for four hours that night. We went to the kids costume contest and bought more merch on Sunday, then packed up and went home. We had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, this was my last trip for a while, since Mom and I are a bit tight on money. Regardless, until the next journey—–

21 December 2015

I’m exhausted! We ended up driving a straight shot from Manhattan to Lafayette. I thought we WEREN’T going to try something like that again, but whatever. We’re home safe, which is what matters. All in all, it was a fun trip! I can’t wait for the next one! Until the next quest—–
