Today is my first chainsaw lesson. I'm not really looking forward to it. I feel a little sick, we ate chicken last night, I hope mine was cooked all the way!! It rained so much this weekend, it was heaven! But when the sun does come out the humidity will be worst than the hotter but dryer heat from before!!! Lose/lose situation I guess. Carol is ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning and made some coffee!!!! After Erik left of course, and then I was thinking about how thankful I am for everyone's work on our wedding! I still become overwhelmed with happiness when I think about our big event! Everyone was so helpful, even when I was slightly...ok really bossy!! It makes me happy to think about how much ( Read more... )

I have a 3 day weekend!! We get Fridays off for "Texas Heat Days". It's great! And it's paid! This weekend, Erik's cousin is coming to visit with her boyfriend. We love to have visitors! It's raining!!!!! And the high today is 90 degrees! It's a miracle!! Last Friday, it got to 104 ( Read more... )

Today started out so terrible. Being married can be tough. We don't get our food stamps until Friday, so I am trying to put off buying any groceries until then. So, Erik decided to through this huge fit and verbally abuse the crap out of me, because he didn't think there was anything to eat, when actually there was soup, potatoes, oatmeal, salad, ( Read more... )

Good Morning. It is hot already! Yesterday, I learned how to use a chainsaw. I have kind of mixed emotions about it! It is powerful and useful, yet SO dangerous! I mean it could kill me or cut something off me! Erik doesn't want me to use it, but sometimes at work I have to cut down a certain species of invasive trees! I feel like I'm yelling this ( Read more... )

Happy 4Th of July! I loved the fireworks when I was little!! Tonight, we are going to hang out with a different couple!! Jason and Sabrina, Jason goes to school with Erik. I hope it'll be fun. I'm kind of nervous! We cleaned up the house and everything! I think they are nice, they're from New York ( Read more... )

My job is teaching me something new everyday. The other day I learned how to build a wall...a wooden one for a house!! This may sound stupid, but I've never really swung a hammer, except to hang a picture! I've been working in OVER 100 degree, intense sun everyday!! I have to wear long sleeves and pants, and work boots. When I come home I usually ( Read more... )

We went climbing yesterday!! At Riemer's Ranch. It was surprisingly nice out there. It reminded me of the Ozarks, and we saw 2 snakes!! I enjoyed it. We had to leave at noon, though, it gets hot at noon, and stays that was till dark, not sunset mind you, but dark!! Hi, Carol, everthing going ok??? Talk to you later.

It's a miracle!!! My caving friend is awake and talking!! They believe he will make a full recovery!! It's the best news!

I feel excited today. Sunday, we are going to go to a ranch about 30min. away and CLIMB!! I can't wait! It's going to feel great! We are going to need to leave at...I don't know, 5:00AM. Have to beat the heat! I've been waking up, and have been reading the Baxter Bulletin online. It seems sad, but it makes me feel better. It doesn't depress me, I ( Read more... )
