We did get to take our little weekend getaway vacation this past weekend! It was wonderful to get out of the hustle and bustle of the Dallas Megaplex. No local news, no 10 murders in one day, no one killing their kids and hanging themselves. VERY different. I thought I liked the big city because of all the stuff to do and never run out of fun, exciting things... but then you look at the commute to work, the high cost of living...the crime and murder... plenty of things to do but if you don't have the money to do them, you don't get to do much. Quality of life is what we are looking for now and we are not getting that here. Would not want to raise kids here if we have them. What, wait until we are pregnant and then decide to move? Not sure that is a very good idea. Why wait to retire somewhere when you can move there while you are young. I don't think we would ever get to even start to think about saving money here. I am ready to call somewhere else home...thinking Mountain Home would be a wonderful place to do that. Set roots and stay there... could always come back to Dallas to do the stuff we love to do but do think we would not have any problem finding plenty of stuff to do there... outside stuff...more fun!!

0 Comments Ahhhh....the married life!!!
It is wonderful being married. Even if it takes a while to find the right person... it is worth the wait... 33 YEARS is how long it took me. Seems like a long time but in retrospect-think of all the years to come! We are enjoying our life. We sit out in the backyard and enjoy the garden and hummingbirds. Pretty wonderful that you can sit and talk to your soul mate. Just great that I have found mine. "Have to kiss a few frogs first" is what I hear. It is just different now... realizing that meeting the love of you life can make such a big difference. I do think if you have to think about it... it is not right. Every situation is different though... in mine, if you have to date for 3 years then still know it is not right and the night before your wedding you are griping about him to friends...NOT A GOOD SIGN! Never too late to get out of a wedding. Everyone needs to remember that! I know all the money, the rings, the dress, flowers... all a big expense. That big expense means nothing when you are 6 years down the road and still not happy. Think you know someone after 3 years? You may not know them after 10 years! If they lie and cheat at the beginning, you must remember they are not going to change one bit! I guess if someone finds God they can change but I still don't think that would make that big of a difference in someone's character. Ended up, my absolute true soul mate that I was meant for my entire life was in my home town... and I thought I had to move north to find 'the one'. Not always true... NEVER go looking for him! Imagine that you don't even have to have a church wedding and spend $20k to make a marraige work. You can have a simple backyard bbq and actually have time to remember the day and visit with family and friends and spend ALOT less money... the marriage is either right or wrong... You know it from the beginning-even if it takes getting divorced and remarried to realize it... One day you do open your eyes and wake up! That is when the BEST things in the world happen! AMAZING things! Posted on 05/11/2007 05:48 AM 1 Comments Wonderful Thanksgiving!
Chad and I did have a great Thanksgiving. We stayed at home and cooked the whole meal. Even home made cranberry sauce. I have NEVER had it and it was sooooo good. I really enjoyed that. He injected a turkey and I made the dressing. Everything was wonderful and it was very quiet. Missed seeing family, but had to work the day after so we could not go anywhere!

0 Comments What Honeymoon?
I didn't think Chad and I were going to get anymore time off together besides the four days we were off to prepare for the wedding. I have more than a week of vacation left and wondering when I am going to take the time off! FINALLY, Chad's boss told him yesterday that he has 5 days to take off before the end of the year. I was wondering when they were going to tell him. They sure did wait long enough! He had to start talking about hunting and not getting to go this year because of no time off before they decided to tell him about the time off. I think that is a little backwards! But at least he will get some much needed time off and I will hopefully be able to take mine off with him! Yay! Posted on 10/26/2006 06:36 AM
0 Comments Blue Man Group
Chad and I were able to go to the Blue Man Group concert. I have wanted to go ever since I heard about them in college. It was the best show either of us have ever seen. We will definitely go back when they start a new tour. I really thought that we would have to go to Vegas to see them. Chad has been hearing about the Blue Man Group since he has met me. When I found out they were coming here, the first thing he said was, we have to go! He was right. We called it another wedding gift to each other. We had a wonderful time. Chad was able to see the West End, he had never been downtown before besides driving by it in his 18 wheeler. We had a wonderful time. I can't even really explain the whole experience.... it isn't only a concert, or a play or an art show, it is all of that and more. Go if you ever have a chance!!!

I am sure when and if we have kids it will be about them! I just can't stress or write enough what a wonderful person I have found in my husband. I can't believe that I found him, he found me or whoever found whom. The minister that married us asked us who was lost. I think we both were. I have never "clicked" with anyone as I have with him. We have just been on a journey apart and now we are beginning one together! Posted on 09/13/2006 08:31 AM
