Team Tuohy: June 2011

Tuohy's Take Texas!

Wednesday, June 29, 2011 by team tuohy

For one week the Tuohy's took over Texas! We were so excited to have Mike's sister Sammi and cousin Stephen here to check out our new Dallas home! We are also beyond grateful they choose us over all those hot Greek Islands! It was a short trip but we still managed to tour the Fort Worth Stockyards, the Allen Outlets and our favorite getaway, the Rockwall harbor! The best part was getting to celebrate Sammi's 22nd birthday with an ice cream cake and all. We miss being a part of all those family moments when so far away! I will say the last year has flown since her big bash for 21! She just amazes me with the person she is becoming. I have only been blessed to be a part of her journey now for the past three years- but already I love her heart for her family and more than anything the person she is becoming. I feel privileged to be sisters.

So... needless to say it was awesome having them here! It was much needed time with our family and to enjoy being "kids" together =) I am consistently grateful for the Tuohy family that I have been blessed with and try to soak up every ounce of them I can! Looking forward to Mike's parents taking over Texas in September as well! Then hopefully a good trip home across the pond in the next year! Oh yeah, we GOT OLYMPICS TICKETS!!!! Whoop Whoop!

Love you Sammi and Stephen! Thanks for being who you are and humoring us in all our adventures to "show you Dallas!"

Sibling Love at its Finest!

A First to Remember

Sunday, June 5, 2011 by team tuohy

Although this first happened on our trip to San Antonio, I thought it deserved a post all of it's own. Michael officially had his first ever... snow cone. Crazy right!?! It was a truly great experience (see below) and I love that we get to experience so much "firsts" together as we dive into each others cultures!

Diving In...

Feeling it Out...

A face of Joy! Mission completed with success!

Michael and I FINALLY went on our honeymoon. That's right, almost two years into marriage we still had not set off on any type of vacation together (minus our mini Wales getaways). We had been saving for a down payment on a house and then decided to push and wait a year until we know the area better and what we are looking for so we decided to head off for our long awaited weekend together!

It was a 5 hour drive with little Lincoln to this fun little city called San Antonio, as you probably know it is indeed not too little at all! We had never been and our sweet friends did the math and research that led us to finally choosing it as our destination! It was stunning. Michael had surprised me and got us a room with a balcony over the river walk, the sun was shining and my heart was stolen once again by being along the water! We adventured out for the next three days and saw some Texas history (The Alamo), got a fabulous candle that was hand made before our eyes, had the best Mexican of our lives and enjoyed walks along the water just spending time together! Best part of it all I forgot the phone chargers so for three days neither of us were competing for the attention of the other versus Angry Birds! Hallelujah!

I will second my dear friend Chrisey in saying, that a yearly vacation is worth the price- it is completely and utterly towards your marriage. Michael is my best friend and sometimes it is just nice to put the responsibility to the wind and just enjoy being young, married and absolutely head over heels in love! Cant wait for next year already!
