And we're off!

Well I am off to Vegas, baby! I am meeting my hubby who has been there since today. It turns out Jesse was approved by the Korean board (Kukkiwon) to test for his 5th Dan (Degree) Black Belt. The test is actually on Sunday but he had to register today and has to attend a Seminar Friday and Saturday. So of course we make a weekend out of it. Thats the update on the Kuhns.

I have to say that I miss my husband a whole lot. I realize that throughout my busy life, just the knowing that he is there is very peaceful and reassuring. WHen he's not a car drive away, my heart is restless. All marriages have their ups and downs. And it really feels like a never ending roller coaster. Some drops are scary, but you got to raise your hand to make it worthwhile. The climbs back up are slow, but once you pick up speed, they are very fun. Well, Jesse and I saw a movie together named Fireproof. It stars Kurt Cameron (Mike Seaver from Growing Pains) and it is about a marriage. Its about choices. I have to admit that the acting is not really Oscar worthy, although some of the characters are very funny. But the message is striking. Jesse and I measure the worth of a movie if it lingers in your head days after. If it is forgettable, its not very good. If it makes you think for a couple days after you've seen it, its pretty good. Well its been over two weeks, and I still think about it almost daily. Jesse and I talk about it pretty often. And its made us a better couple. Must be one heck of a movie, huh? Jesse and I often talk about friends of ours who are thinking about or getting close to engagement or marriage. Not that we are veterans by any means, but its almost as if those who are married are on P-staff, and they know something those who aren't don't. One of those things is the first topic in our Pre Cana class. Love is a choice. I can choose to tell Jesse that I can't stand when he does X or I can choose to smile, and turn my head the other way when he does it. I can choose to tell him something he did wrong or I can choose to either fix it for him or when not possible, admit to myself that I too make mistakes. Its all about choices. Well, its a great movie, but be sure to take the kleenex box with you. On another note, if you did enjoy it, be sure to look at all the special features of the dvd. They are great!!! Some are some crazy facts such as all of the actors were church volunteers! Crazy huh? Anywho. Go rent it, tell me what you think.

Did I mention that I miss my Jesse? :(

Hey Obama, Can I Live?

Nick Cannon, a prominent actor/rapper and Mariah Carey's husband has something to say...

Have you heard?

We have had 15 new members this month and January is not even over!!! The best part? Two of the parents that sign up their multiple kids responded that they heard from someone that goes to a different school that they heard that this school was great and they can't get out of their contract to switch over. Another parent told me that their coworker heard that this as the best school in town.

Way to go KuGar!

new tile, Installing a pool, new furniture, and hollywood

Howdy! Its only two weeks into the year and so much has been going on. First off, the tile is finished and here are some pics.




So there is a new tile, and as some of you heard, we decided to install a pool. Inside the house. Okay maybe we didn't decide to install a pool, but a rubber hose in our bathroom sprung a leak and proceeded to leak water covering about half of our house. Thankfully, we had nothing in the house and the water damage specialists made it in from Alice in about 2 hours. They got the water out and the following day, the whole place (including walls) were dry. We are waiting on the damage to our wallets. About three days before the leak, Jesse and I decided to get new furniture. We ended up getting a really nice set from Ashley, including the coffee table, and two end tables.




Lastly, I wanted to share a new blog of sorts that I read almost daily. Its called Big Hollywood and its put out by Breitbart.com. Big Hollywood is an outlet for conservative, writers, producers, and actors who are the minorities in their profession. As in all blogs, there are good ones, and there are bad ones. What I like about it is that it gives me hope that there are people out there in Hollywood who are trying to get their word out. People who are hoping we can turn it around. Or at least admit that there is a problem. Check it out.

Until next time :)

It's been 3 years

since we have said our vows at St. Patrick's Church. My love, it has been a roller coaster these past three years, full of changes and new beginnings. I have to say it has been a pleasure being able to hold your hand as we lift our arms to enjoy the flips, loops, and drops of life. Our marriage has been like Space Mountain, we never know when the next loop or flip will come but as long as you right beside me, I know we can gt through anything. Here's to many more by your side!

Someone mentioned...

I don't post very often....so I thought it would be nice to post some pics of what has been going on in good ol' laredo.

First off, we finally have tile in our new home, but I haven't taken pictures of it yet. So here are some before pics of our house.







So we finally have tile in the whole house. We need to paint two walls and one bathroom. Next are the base boards which we need to sand and repaint. Lastly, we need to power wash the outside to take the chipping paint off and repaint. Slowly but surely we are getting closer to the move in date which for now is presumed to be some time in February.

The Garcia Gonzalez and Kuhns Garcia families spent Christmas at Tio Poncho's house and although we didn't take many pictures, we did get a chance to snap one with Santa hats on. We had a lot of fun, but as always we did miss our Austinite and Qataries from making it a real Christmas! We did see the Garcia Ibarrola's before they left to the In Laws to spend Christmas eve. We exchanged gifts and had a great time!



Next we had the baptism of our new Goddaughter Roxanna Maria at St. Patrick's church. Fr. Mary David from the Brothers of St. John Congregation presided andhe gave a beautiful homily on the welcoming of a new member to the Body of Christ.




And today, has been a nice and relaxed Sunday. This morning Roxanna's father and wife came over for some barbacoa for breakfast. Once they left we kicked back and rocked and rolled to good ol' guitar hero. We even got my mom and dad to jam out! My mom's face is priceless!!!!!






Well folks, from our family to yours I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and have a safe and fun New Year! A special shout out to the Rose family and their beautiful two new sons!! And another very special shout out to our Qatary family whom we miss very much and can't wait to spend next Christmas with them! We love you and miss you.....

Kuhns' update

So its been a while since I have the updated on the blog and its partially due to our extremely busy schedule. Its Tuesday night an d we have a long break from both works because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Our routine doesn't change too much which leaves little room for flexibility. My niece was born on November 4th and Jesse and I have ben asked to become Godparents! Totally exciting! She is adorable and looks like both of her parents. It is quite an honor to be the first granddaughter/niece. Speaking of babies, we ask for your prayers as Jesse an I try to start a family of our own. Sometimes its hard to remember that our time might not be the same as God's time.

In other news, KuGar is going great!!! Not only do we have over 60 members, but we are enjoying every minute of it. We currently have two students with special needs that reminds us that TaeKwonDo is for everybody! We are also seeing significant positive differences in some of our students' behavior.

We spend our weekends at the new house painting/sanding/taping as we continue to prepare our future home. This week we will be spending in Austin for the Garcia Ibarrola family and hopefully find some good special for Black Friday! I wish everyone a safe and fun Thanksgiving!
