Anniversary Trip

Apparently staying home isn't in the cards. After two nights in an RV that we are considering buying, we are leaving tonight after Bible study for our anniversary trip.

We are going here to swim all day, every day.

And, at night we are going to do this.

And hope to see this.

And visit this little, bitty town. I'll let you guess why...

We plan to relax, chill, bake in the sun, cool off in the spring fed pool and enjoy the unique beauty of West Texas.

I might post. I might not. I will take pictures, but not of me in a swim suit. Y'all don't need to see that. Ever.

Two Years

Two years ago, at this time of day, I was tying my bouquet...

Two years ago, I was wondering if I needed to try and sneak in a shine on those boots...

Two years ago, I was wondering if the cakes were going to look how I wanted them to look...

Two years ago, I was marrying My Honey.

Happy Second Anniversary KB. I love you!

zzzzzzzPOW! ssssssBOOM!

KB and I took Mom and Dad out to the side of a farm road, braving the bugs, to take fireworks photos. Mom is still learning about her camera and needed some experience. I am still learning about my camera and needed some experience. I didn't think they were going to turn out, but ... not so bad after all.

Happy Independence Day America!

Ahhhh, That's Better.

I had this header up for a day. It wasn't very... Cindy Dianne. I liked it. But, it didn't make me smile when I came to my blog. Which, by the way, I do still do. :-D The header I have up now makes me smile, so it stays.

How do you decide what stays and goes on your blog? Is it what other people like or what you like? I am just wondering.

Let's see.

I am in a little less of a funk today than I have been. Hopefully, KB will be a little better too. We've been quite the couple of grumpy butts this last week.

Bible study last night was about prayer. The subset was seeing the blessings in everything that goes on in your life. Talk about a challenge. One person from each couple that was there last night has been laid off. The blessing, of course, is that one person from each couple is working. So there! ;-)

We are going to look at a Double wide on some acreage today. I have a hang up about living in a "trailer". I guess it is from living in one when I was a kid. But, truth is, I am not too good for it AND it is really important that I have JJ with me and that may just mean a DW on some acreage. It is only a year.

Within a year we will know for sure about law school. If yes, we'll be moving for that. If no, we'll be searching for our new hometown and to buy a place OR we'll be figuring out how to live on the ranch. Either way, there will be some resolution within a year.

I have hang ups about living in a "trailer". What are your hang ups?

Well now

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.
