I would have posted yesterday, but in true Happy Stupid Monday form the road construction workers caused an interuption in our Internet service. It came on today around 1, thankfully.
Taken in Glen Rose, June 2009
We thought, for a while, that we might get to move to Glen Rose. We love Glen Rose. It is a small town of about 2200 people. It has a town square, cute little shops, a tourist industry and NO wal-mart. How cool is that? It is on the Brazos River and it is cute, cute, cute. Quintessential Texas. However, KB didn't get the job that would have given us an excuse to move there. It was disappointing in the extreme.
We have to move in August and I am DYING to get out of this suburbia hell hole I feel trapped in. I know, I really do, that it isn't THAT bad. But, I really feel like my soul is shriveling. I gotta get outta here, Man. I really do.
To that end, KB and I have been looking for a place we can lease that is just far enough out of this massive Metroplex and where I can have JJ. I need him right now. I feel like I'll never settle into the things I need to settle into (ie. LSAT prep and law school prep) if I don't get somewhere where I can walk into my backyard and see him. It is either that, or sell him and forget about my love of horses for a few years. And I don't want to do that.
And frankly, while I prayed for KB to only get that job if it was the right thing for us in the long run, I still can't think about Glen Rose without tearing up.
I am bummed. I am in a funk. I can't seem to shake it.
