Coming up with blog titles is hard

But that's not what this post is about.

I hope that everyone had a great new year's. Maurice and I went to Houston for new year's to visit his sister Ashlie, and we had a really great time. We spent some time with our friends and family there, and even learned how to make tamales from scratch! I was better at it than Maurice was, though he will tell you otherwise :) At any rate, they were scrumptious. We also got to go and visit Rice University, which is one of the schools Maurice has applied to do his masters degree at, and frankly, one that we are both really hoping for, or it's at least near the top of the list. But I digress... we visited the area and checked out the campus and some of the obscenely unaffordable housing in the area, and made a mental note of some places we liked, in the event that we move there in a few months.

We ALSO got to do a few wedding registries while we were there. We registered at Crate & Barrel, since San Antonio STILL doesn't have one, and we also found the mother of all Pottery Barn's and registered there. You can find said registries here and here, by entering one of our names.

And while I'm sending you all on a wild internet goose chase... Maurice has finished re-doing his portfolio website and I recommend that you all check it out and get ready to be impressed! There is alot of his architecture work on there, as well as art and photography and other fun stuff that he's done. You can find it by clicking on this pretty blue word.

Hope that your 2009 is off to a great start!
