Happy Father's Day to My Dad...

   He's probably the coolest person I know.   When I say "cool", I mean he is actually "cool".  He just "is". 

~ He's incredibly smart, yet doesn't ever feel the need to act like he knows everything

~He reads.... a lot

~ He could care less about expensive things

~He could easily live out in the wilderness and probably be totally comfortable for a good six months

~He speaks with a soft voice when talking to old ladies and little babies 

~He works out almost daily

~He's an amazing artist, just crazy talented

~He calls me "Gorgeous" as if that was the name written on my birth certificate

~He can sing and play the guitar

~ He loves my mom, my brother, my husband, and even my crazy weenie dogs unconditionally

And so long as my mom always picks out his outfits for him...he's just the coolest dad I know. 

On this father's day we all enjoyed some yummy mexican food at Arribas celebrating Dad! 

Happy Father's Day Dad, I Love You!!!

Mr. Handsome's Birthday

This day was just perfect.... just us

  We celebrated Justin turning 31 by just taking it easy. I took the day off from work, turned my phone off, and just enjoyed time together.....

We spent the morning walking around the lake with Sammy and Olive and walked up on a group of people and their handmade boats.  We enjoyed our cups of joe from good ole Coffee Rush and just did some people watching as Sammy and Olive did some people barking. 

For lunch we thought about trying something "new"...after a failed attempt at Liberty Market in downtown Gilbert, we ended up at Oreganos...and enjoyed  some off the hook bloody marys ~
garnished with a pickle, which was delightful.

Then we relished in some fun in the sun....

The night ended with sushi and sake bombers across the lake and then over to visit Chewy and Boston (if you don't know who they are, come hang out with us soon) ~ we'll introduce you to some of our favorite Anderson Springs Bartenders.

Happy Birthday to my Handsome Husband ~ I Love You.

Night Out with the Starrs

Just me and "the boys"....

Trevor was in town for the weekend for a reunion with friends... but he kept a night free to hang with us.

It was a chill summer night...starting off with dinner at Dos Gringos in Chandler, moving on to drinks at Tonic, moving on to drinks at Nate's 3rd Base (one of our fav places) and finishing off the night at Native New Yorker.

Golf Day at Superstition Springs Golf Club

One very hot day in June, Justin hit the course with Matt, Nate, and Matt's father in law ~Fred.  Justin got to experience what it's like to golf at my stomping ground: Superstition Springs Golf Club. 

I've worked at golf courses now for approx 6 plus years and I've never golfed. To be honest, I really don't get it. But for some reason lots of people love it. It is one of my "to dos" on my 101 in 1001, but I'm thinking I'll wait until it's not 100 plus degrees and hopefully make this happen next time my girl Sarah Gillespie is in town.

But nonetheless, on that hot day in June...these guys still had a fun time.

P.S. I get an amazing rate on golf for family and friends..so let me know if you're ever in the mood to hit the greens.

On My Mind Today....

Hello Friends!

Okay, so today has been one of those random days where I have a million things on my mind~it's kind of hard to concentrate.  When I get feeling all crazy like...I like to turn to my blog~ it calms me. 

So here we go:

1.) Thank you, Thank You, Thank You to all of our beloved family and friends who joined us in celebrating Justin's big milestone!  I'm still in a state of shock, I never really thought that we would get to this point.  We looked at each other this morning like...Ummm.... this is awkward, what the heck are we suppose to do now???  But don't get me wrong I couldn't be more proud of my amazing husband....now that he's a Doctor of Physical Therapy.....his "hot meter" goes up a few notches for sure ;) More on this in upcoming blogs for sure!!!

2.) Camp Cabo officially starts today! Remember this post from a year ago?? In an effort in achieving goal number # 95 on my 101 in 1001s, I attempted this last August and after two weeks of pure exhaustion I became discouraged and stopped. But this time around I'm making a few adjustments to this goal to make it more realistic and more achieveable (after all, it's my 101 list, I can adjust as needed:), this time and certain stud has offerered to join me!  So this time around I'm committing myself to "Camp Cabo", working our one hour a day for 5 days a week, for the next four weeks.  We've been averaging 3 times a week for 45 minutes for the past three weeks so this should be totally do-able!  And.... you may be wondering why we're calling it "Camp Cabo"... well you guessed right!  As a graduation gift to the both of us, we're going to CABO BABY for 7 days in a luxury resort for total relaxation time!!!  And of course looking like a hot senorita is the goal!!!

3.)  Attention Fellow Bloggers (if you don't blog, don't read on, it will only confuse you)....

Now that I'm One of Those "Private Blog" People

Add http://justinandjenniferstarrblogupdates.blogspot.com/ to your automatic updater on your blog list.
So this little blog will be public~ I got this very smart idea from Miss Allison!
To keep up with my blog a little better (especially for you non-facebookers) , go ahead and add this to your blog list and I will post on here everytime I update my primary blog.

 Make sense? I hope so, I think I've just confused myself. Thank you for caring and sharing~ I hope even more of my sassy little friends start a blog, it's such a great way to keep up with loved ones in this busy world of ours.

Mic Check... Anyone Anyone Bueller?

 Justin told me he's spending all tomorrow catching up on editting all of our recent photos, so I'll have some fun posts coming soon.

Goodbye Outside World!

Okay, I've been rocking this blog for now 2 Years and 8 months, holy cow!  And now making my little blog is private which makes me kind of sad...but excited at the same time.

Why sad?

Well it was kind of exciting just writing to the world, not really knowing who was reading, who cared, who shared in my day to day thoughts~perhaps connecting on different levels and never meeting them in person.

{Perhaps I can get my fix through my J.Starr Blog~Coming Soon}

Why Excited?

I guess this moment marks our "unofficial" transition into adulthood. 

Now that I'm a business owner and Justin's going to be starting his professional career as a DPT, it's time to share our family and friends stories, photos, and thoughts...with only our friends and family.

So, to all of my loved ones..... I've entered your names into my VIP section and you should be receiving an email invitation and you'll need to accept the invitation into my private blog.

In case you have any issues logging in with your email address~ not to worry...... I've created a random gmail account login and password for you to use and log in with if need be. 

Login in: justinandjenblog@gmail.com

Password: starrblog

I'm sorry you'll have to take an extra step to read....but perhaps it will bring you some relief too....knowing how many possible photos of you will be on our blog in the near future :)

ANOTHER OPTION:  I added a little "Follow By Email" box on my blog in the far right side, if you'd like to be emailed everytime I post a new blog, just add your name in the box and it will send you an email with my blog post in the body of the email.

Much Love!!!
