Boring

I have come to the conclusion that my life is absolutley the most boring one out there. I have been sitting here staring at my blog thinking of something to write, however I can not come up with anything good enough to say or that even means anything to anyone. Blake will be home Thurs!! YEA!!!! Other than that, I got nothing!

White Hat

Blake emailed me to let me know that he received his white hard hat this hitch. This is very monumental for him, as a newbie, rookie, grunt, etc. on the rig he has to wear a orange hard hat. This indicates that you are new in your position. So, he is no longer the new one at this level. Ironically it seems that you strive to get an orange hat just as much as you strive to get your white hat. With a new orange hat would mean you have been promoted but then you are back to the newbie in the position. Anyhow, hope you all continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

4 months really???

My how time flies! I can't believe it has been 4 months since I last blogged. I promised myself I would be better at this and I will make that promise again. I envy my sisters ability to throw up a great story and pictures along with the two kids. Reading her life makes mine seem so boring and makes me wonder where my time really goes. I guess, a quick update on our world since my last blog.
November- We had Thanksgiving Dinner at our house, or course minus Blake because he had to leave out the day before. None the less we had my mom, brother, his girlfriend and roommate, blakes gma, cousin, her husband and two kids. Isn't the table beautiful?

December-My sister and her family came in for a couple weeks, which was fantastic. We all conveined at my parents house in Monahans, again Blake had to leave on xmas eve and that was hard but having the girls to play with made it better. Ryleigh, Blake and I also made a gingerbread house which was totally fun! They then came back to Arlington with me for a couple days before heading back to Canada.

January-We celebrated my birthday in Alpine which was great because I haven't been there in so long! We ate chicken tacos twice!!! WOOHOO!! The weather was decent and we just got to slow it down a bit! Which we totally need to do more often. My sister and I also met up with each other in New York City for a girls weekend which was so much fun. COLD, but fun! It is good to be adults and get to hang out like adults.
February-We spent Valentines weekend at the river, which made for another slow it down weekend. We then went to Kerrville for a night and did our best to knock out as much of grandmas to-do list as we could in 24 hrs. We also picked up Blake's desk, which is a gorgeous cedar desk that belonged to his grandfather. And looks stunning with the rest of our cedar furniture in our bedroom.
March-Earlier this month I traveld to Austin for a girls weekend for my friend Melissa's bachelorette party. We had a fantastic weekend, all girls doing all girl things! Much needed sometimes!
Blake left today for work. It always takes me a couple days to adjust and it leaves me with such a sense of empyness as I drive away from the airport. But, it will all be good in 14 days!
