RoughRiders Baseball

Spring has sprung! But what a wet one it has been. Luckily it’s kept the temps down, but we’re ready for some sunshine! We are also ready for some baseball! Baseball is a sport the entire Bruns’ family can get behind.  We absolutely love having a minor league team we can go watch and the…

Allergy Test for Mr. Oscar

Since last October, we’ve been regulars in the doctors’ offices and hospitals with Oscar. He literally could not stay well for more than a week. He wasn’t really alone in that, either. I think I was sick every time he was sick, which is not like me. But, this post isn’t about me 🙂 We…

Chris Retires from Radio

I asked Chris if he wanted to “guest blog” about this milestone, but he diverted to me.  This is actually much better because he would be way too humble about this entire experience. Three years ago (almost exactly), Chris made a decision that it was time to transition out of radio and into voice acting….

Cavett-Scarborough Wedding

What a happy day! My college bestie married her lobster! As you might recall, I helped with her amazing engagement scavenger hunt.  She and Shawn wasted no time planning a wedding and getting hitched. Can you blame them?  This weekend was their gorgeous wedding ceremony at the breathtaking Rancho Loma in west Texas.  It was…

The One with the Wedding Dresses

Do you ever make a comment, “We should totally do that!” and you never do? I know. It happens to all of us. It happens so often that you rarely even regret that you didn’t do that thing because you’ve long forgotten about it.  But, no no no. Not with this girl. One of Stori…

Last Day at Zimbra

Today was a hugely bittersweet day for me. I had to leave my co-workers, employees, and friends to start a new opportunity.  I couldn’t help but get attached to this group. It was a large population of former colleagues of whom I worked with very soon after college.  This time, however, I got to work…

Snow Day!

I mentioned in my last post that winter has decided to show up here in North Texas. Which is all fine and good, but it’s MARCH. I’ve already got my heart set on spring sun and patio dining! In any event, we’ve had our fair share of snow days over the last two week’s but…

Visiting Family in Spicewood

This past weekend we had a great time meeting up with Chris’s Aunt Bernadette and Uncle Frankie at their home in Spicewood, TX. What  was even better, is their daughter, Allison, and her husband, Turner, and daughter, Avery, joined us from Brooklyn, NY!  Avery and Oscar are 2nd cousins less than two weeks apart in…

Hiking with Friends

This Sunday our neighbors, The Allen’s, invited us to take our boys hiking at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve.  The catch was it would just be me and Josh, so we were easily outnumbered by children. Also, this was my first time bringing Oscar along on an adventure like this. I wasn’t sure how he’d do,…

Showering a Little Man

I love babies. I really do. But, I REALLY love celebrating babies. I have really come to love a good baby shower. So, when my dear friend, Renee, told me she was expecting her 2nd baby boy, I immediately started planning her baby shower.  I called up my pal, Stori, and two of Renee’s former…
