One Year

It's our anniversary. Not some day that marks the fact that we've been dating for four months but it's a celebration of the fact that we've been MARRIED for a year with many more to come.

And it's definately been a very happy year. Please refer to by previous post about how much I love him. It seems like it hasn't been this long at all yet at the same time it seems like we've been together forever.

I'm off to celebrate. Nothing extra special, just a day with Tad like all the others that I fall in love with him all over again!

Memories of Mexico

As promised I’m finally writing about the ice storm. I can’t believe that it’s already been a month. Many of the things reminded me of my previous trips to Mexico. They are as follows…

Waking up in the morning cold (Saturday morning we woke up and it was 45 degrees in the house)

Washing my face in cold water

Brushing my teeth with water out of a cup (since we have a well without electricity there is no way to get the water to the house so we had to do everything with bottled water)

Not being able to flush the toilet (again no water)

Not showering (you guessed it, no water)

Running a generator (in Mexico it was to run the concrete mixer, in Lake Fork it was to run our two space heaters)

That’s about it. I hope everyone on their way to Mexico now can enjoy the same experiences, just not in their own home. We're praying for you.

Coming Attractions

I just want to let everyone know that I have almost survived the ice storm of 2006. I have been trying to well document my adventures through photographs but have probably not done it well. Soon I will post what pictures I can and tell what stories I can. Just wanted everyone to know (or the three people that read this) that I should have power back at any minute. It could be back on for all I know right now. (We're hanging out at my parents where there is heat and lights and running water!)

Just wanted to let you know that some good stories are coming. At least I think they are good. Probably weren't at the time but now that the end is near they somewhat make me smile :)
