Loving Life on the Border

We're enjoying the quiet life on the border! :) My Love enjoys (and so do I!) the short 2 minute drive to work! The closest "cityfied" town is about 30 minutes away. Also, the drive back to our families isn't really all that bad- right under 4 hours back to the edge of the Hill Country for my family. And the drive is quite calm and pretty, too.

I just realized that I haven't been visiting nigella.com lately and need to get back to it! :)

OH, and we're also enjoying our new DSL ;)

Can't Decide

I'm having a hard time being decisive when it comes to picking colors and templates for my blog... ughhh... what an update, huh?

Well the puppy isn't really much of a puppy anymore... he's 26" at the whithers and already 75 lbs. at just 7 months :). He came home from training at the end of May. We still have to work on his training just about everyday to make sure he remembers it. They say GSDs take about 2 years to fully mature... I can see that now ;).

My Love is over halfway done with his job training! :) Graduation is at the beginning of August... and then we move :).

Surviving the 4 Months

Well, I have this wonderful feeling that I will make it out alive through the four months of separation :). My Love seems to be doing good, too. I just wish he could get better sleep at night :(....

My giant puppy has gone to school- for 5 weeks of obedience training at a nearby kennel. Really nice place and it's only about 30 minutes away. They owners and trainers are really sweet people.

I just put together three care packages for My Love and shipped them off today. He's getting a zillion jelly beans- mainly pink ones, so he'll think of me :)- and some twizzlers and a Hello Kitty Pez ;).

I thought about shipping him some benadryl so he could sleep better at night! ;)

My Baby :)

Here's my baby :). Grown up, hasn't he?!, Britty of KT ;) ?! He's 4 months old and just got his rabies shot and weighed today- 28 lbs :). Seems SO much bigger. All the girls at the vet could say was "WOW- his PAWS are SO BIG!" :)

Gorgeous Flowers Just for Me!


Just when I was about to start buying tulips, I saw these blooming out in our yard! Aren't they gorgeous?! The pink is my favorite- I love the shade... if you can't tell ;). They all smell DELIGHTFUL, too! :)

Happy Spring!

Is it even spring yet??? I bet it's still winter... what a bummer to still be called winter. The grass is green, there are baby calves everywhere! Feels like baby season to me :).

We're Moving

Christmas time is coming for us... and what does that mean? Time to move again! :)

My parents and brother purchased some acreage closer into town... and there's a garage apartment on the property. This will be an excellent location and situation for us. When My Love leaves for training for 5 months, I'll be closer to my family, without needing to move back in with them, and I'll also be closer to neighbors- right now, we're pretty much out in the (pasture) boonies :).

Looking forward to the move-- I enjoy moving ;)... while we dont' have kids yet ;).

Something New

The only thing new here is a new post to look out besides all the things I want for Christmas ;).

Maybe I'll post some pictures of Christmas light garlands that I saw in some catalogs yesterday.

O' Cal-i-forn-i-a

Well, I must admit it.... I was quite glad to be back in our home state after a 5-day trip to the Orange County area of California. The traffic wore me out... never an open highway and little town- seems like you've got to drive quite a ways out of Los Angeles for that.

One thing, though... the weather there is AWESOME, duuuuude!

We went out for My Love's brother's wedding. He's a lawyer in Orange---or is it Santa Ana? Can't remember- one of those two spots. We stayed at an inn in Santa Ana and ended up driving around quite a bit to different spots:

THURSDAY
flew into LAX (will someone please inform me of what the X stands for???)
saw the bro-in-law's apt.
took some of th other little in-laws out with us to Laguna Beach for some great pics

FRIDAY
Disneyland here we come-- um, went!
California Adventure (right next door)
Wedding Rehearsal- hung out with some great kids- especially Ashley- great fun TALKING :)
Back to Disneyland for a fun ride on Indiana Jones

SATURDAY
Wedding in Santa Ana
Newport Beach with the sister and sis-in-law-soon-to-be-married
Roman Cucina for dinner- AWESOME... (What's there to celebrate??? "CHRISTOPHER'S NOT HEEEERE ANYMORRRE!!!! :)- it's an inside joke ;) )

SUNDAY
Six Flags Magic Kingdom with another bro-in-law who's hanging out in California for the summer thru Oct. and another friend

MONDAY
Rejoicing for My Love as we head back home on our flight
Awful head and sinus pain for me as I suffer from air pressure and that now-HORRIBLE dry air...
Houston we are HOME!
Enjoy the open roads and wide expanse of green on the sides of the roads heading out of the big city into the hilly countryside

mmm.....

Just here to say that I'm dreaming about that Aztec Hot Chocolate from MarieBelle...
