Seven!

Place #7: Blue Bell Factory
Recently, we had the chance to visit Brenham, and neither of us have ever been to the Blue Bell Factory. I have always wanted to go, so we did! It was actually very interesting and I was very intirgued. I learned a lot.
-July is the month of Blue Bell!
-Every July Bluebell comes out with a new flavor.
-Ice creams are seasonal. They only have like 11 flavors that are constant, the others are rotated!
-This July's flavor is Christmas Cookiees in July.
-They only make 6 flavors (I think it was 6) a day because it takes 3 hours to clean out the machines! But they make a lot of it!
-The employees get as much Blue Bell as they want! They have a freezer in their lounge that is always stocked with ice cream!!!
"We eat all we can and we sell the rest"

"Have yourself a Blue Bell country day."

Place #5 and #6

Place #6: The Chocolate Bar

Mauren told me about this place, and it sounded like the perfect place to be!!! They make their own chocolate and cover just about everything in it! They also make their own ice cream. We went and had ice cream, and we bought an oreo and pretzel covered in chocolate. It was pretty good. It just really interesting all the things they cover and make out of chocolate!!

Chocolate Guitars

and CDs

A PMS pill :)

Place #5: Chicago Hotdog Shack

Even before we were married, we have been wanting to go to this place. We saw it one night driving home, and we were craving a hot dog. Once you have your mind set on a place you gotta go there. We pass it all the time, so we just had to go there! The place was kinda crappy looking and very dirty, but it was DELISH!

Yummy!!!

Another Randomness!

Place #4: 99 Cent Store

On 1960 there is a HUGE 99 cent store. Every time we pass by it, Steven says he really wants to go. SO we did. They had some pretty neat stuff in there. Somethings I wouldn't even think about buying. We got 30 packs of 100 calorie snacks for $5.00. You usually spend like 3 dollars on just 10. It was a steal! So we bought it AND they were fresh!!!

I think 99 cent stores are fun! :)

100 Randomnesses

Our 100 Randomnesses

Steven and I decided that in the first year of our marriage we would visit/do/see 100 different things together. (100 randomnesses) We thought it might be fun, and we could probably see and do more if we had a goal!! Anything/place counts as long as one of us has never been there before. We decided to count it if one of us has been there because maybe we really wanted to take our spouse to that place! We also decided to only make it valid if we had a picture!! So, here are the first 3 places we have been together.

We went to these places during our honeymoon on a cruise in April 2012!
And so it begins.....

Place #1: Roatan, Honduras

They had monkeys everywhere! So cute!

I want a monkey

We went zip lining through Roatan. It was amazing!

Steven bought a coconut. He likes them. I didn't think they were that good.

He had them in the D.R.

We tried Iguana. It tasted okay, but they kept the bones in it, so I wanted to barf!

Roatan was beautiful!

Place #2: Belize

My cheesy Husband!

We snorkeled at a private island. It was so pretty.

A string ray. (if you can see it)

Place #3: Cozumel, Mexico

 My handsome man at the port.

We had real mex-mex. But I must say I like tex-mex better.

Downtown Cozumel.

3 down, 97 to go!!!



April 7, 2012

On April 7, 2012 Steven and I became the Alexander's.

We were married in the Houston Temple. It was a fantastic day. The weather was beautiful and all my friends and family were there.

Steven and I are just loving living together and playing house!

What are you doing right now:

Running.

So, I found this on one of my running websites the other day. I thought I would share. It's cool because it's what I do.

You know you're a runner if.....

1. You are frequently called "crazy".

2. You actually *like* to sweat.

3. You get jealous of any runners you pass while driving, wishing that you were running too.

4. Throughout your race you are constantly calculating your expected finish time.

5. You spend all week planning your weekend long run.

6. Your day isn't complete until you've put your run in.

7. You consider getting a PR almost as great as winning the race.

8. Your non-running friends consider every race you run a "marathon".

9. Whether a 5K or a marathon runner, you understand "the runner's high".

10. You feel an instant kinship to any other runner you pass by on the street.

11. Your Ipod has a "running" playlist.

12. You have ever felt warm, sweaty, and cold all at the same time.

13. The atkins diet seems preposterous to you...who wants to give up carbs??

14. A 5K is "only 3.1 miles".

15. You know precisely the distance between every intersection in your neighborhood.

16. You call all other sports cross-training.

17. You have no idea why you keep signing up for races until they are over.

18. You schedule your meals around your runs.

19. 5 miles is a 'nice and easy' distance for you.

20. No matter how busy you are, you always make time for your runs.
