This and That

It seems like years since I last posted something on the blog, but realize it has only been a handful of days! So much has been happening, it is easy to lose track of time! 

Since the last post, Bryan and I celebrated our dating anniversary--three years. And thanks to my friend Caroline, Bryan and I enjoyed the Fort Worth Symphony's performance of Tour de Force. It was a nice, relaxing evening, which was a refreshing change from the career decisions and remodel dreaming of late. Our days have also been filled with garden preparation. As all exciting, young couples do, we took a gardening workshop at our local nursery one Saturday morning. (Smile.) We learned a lot about the thick, sticky Texas soil and how to manipulate it to grow veggies. Now we need spring to stay put, and we'll plant something!

The remodeling plans are progressing slowly, but progressing. Two Saturdays ago, we hit the home improvement shops--tile, lighting, appliances, etc. I soon realized that was too much to process! We did, however, find a lighting store we love . . . and tiles for the floor and shower. (Thanks Karen!) One down, 693 decisions to go. But hey--it is fun.

In humorous news, Bryan and I had a startle a few nights back. We were in the bathroom doing the nighttime routine--brush the teeth, wash faces, etc, when we hear--clear as day--one of the doors loudly close in the house. It sounded like a door to one of our spare bedrooms or something. Yeah. I grabbed the phone in case a 911 call was necessary. Bryan crept out our bedroom door for the utility closet, where he pulled out a wooden bat I didn't even know we owned. So, here we are, Bryan and the bat bravely checking every room, with me trailing four feet behind with phone in hand. Thanks to too many episodes of "Law & Order" and "Snapped," I asked him (nicely) to check the whole house two more times. Thankfully, no intruder was found. But you can guarantee I'm NOT watching any episodes of "Ghost Hunters."

This last weekend Bryan was on-call. Although no cake walk, we are thankful it wasn't as horrific as some call weekends have been. Amazingly, though, he did see nearly 120 patients in two days. Impressive, isn't it?

More posts will arrive soon. We are scheduled to visit Washington D.C. in just a few days! Yay!
