Sun Worshippers

I love those dogs... Jake was out of the frame chewing on some grass.  He's not a sunbather like his brother and sister.  They love having a backyard... all three of them.  Jake loves being free to run and play and the others love just being able to lay out in the sun... can't say I blame them, yesterday was beautiful!

Booger's Bigger, More Colorful Relative

You may remember the car named Booger from an earlier post... well if Booger had a bigger and more colorful relative, this would be it.  This car was in... you guessed it... a Wal-Mart parking lot!  This car did not have a cute name... but I did get to see its owner!  She was wearing a much too tight yellow dress... the buttons probably put someone's eye out when they popped off, as I am most sure they did.  This is why going to Wal-Mart can be worth it!

Zoe on a Road Trip

Zoe got to go to Arkansas this past weekend.  Isn't she one of the three cutest dogs you have ever seen?!  She rode the whole way sitting in someone's lap... well really sleeping in someone's lap.  That dog can sleep... but she is so cute that you just want to eat her!  Love that girl!

My Flying Cubicle

The flight home from South Padre was uneventful until we took off from a stop in San Antonio... the sky was pretty as the sun was setting, but not too long after the sun picture was taken, the clouds started getting a little crazy looking.  The flight into Dallas was ROUGH... but I was glad to be home... if only for a few days!

South Padre Island

I got to go to South Padre Island for work a couple of weeks ago... I know but somebody has to do it!  The room was looking right out over the pool and into the Gulf of Mexico.  It was absolutely the perfect way to wake up!  I love my job!

Day ??... New Plates for the New Car!

We got a call in April that our tags for the Camry had finally come in.  When we got to the dealership to pick up the tags, we were a little mortified by what we got... the number ended with 666!  Yikes!  That was all it took... I ordered some specialty plates that I had wanted since moving to Texas back in 2005.  The Mavs didn't make it as far as we would have liked this year... but Lana and I still love our Mavs!  Go Mavs!

Day ??... A New Car! (Said in the style of Rod Roddy on The Price is Right!)

In March, Lana and I bought a new car.  We needed desperately to replace our Gaspedition... it was just not a practical car for the two of us.  We got a 2010 Toyota Camry and yes, we did take advantage of Toyota's bad luck with the accelerator pedals.  They needed to move some cars and we got a great deal with 0% financing!  They bought our Expedition sight unseen!  They really were desperate to move some cars!

Day ??... I LOVE Southwest Airlines!

A year ago, you could not have paid me to say that Southwest Airlines was my favorite airline... but today?  Today, I am a huge fan!  I LOVE Southwest... sure there are some things that drive my OCDness crazy... like the fact that I am not assigned a seat... I really need that assignment, but I still love it.  My 30th birthday trip was thanks in part to the fact that I got to fly to Orlando for free!  Yes, for free... all I had to do was fly 8 roundtrips on Southwest and I got a free ticket.  I am almost to my second free ticket in less then 8 months... I love it!

Day ??... You All Missed My Birthday!

For my 30th Birthday, my amazing wife took me to Walt Disney World.  WDW is my most favorite place on the planet.  She even surprised me by having my dad there to share that special time with me!  It was an amazing whirlwind trip to Florida.  We spent my birthday in the Magic Kingdom, complete with fireworks... who gets fireworks at the most magical place in the world for their birthday!?  I did!  My 30th birthday will not soon be forgotten it was awesome and I have my dad and Lana to thank for making it extra special!

Day ??...

Double rainbows!  Something I have not gotten to witness often in my life... double rainbows!  Last Monday night I flew back into Dallas from Houston in some pretty rough weather.  I was coming out of my seat on the plane... made me understand that I really needed to buckle my seat belt "Low and TIGHT across my waist."  After the storms passed and I was safely on the ground, I got to see the two rainbows and they were much more beautiful than this picture can even begin to show!  God won't ever destroy the world with rain again... that was His promise with the rainbow!

Day ??... I've Lost Count and Gotten Way Behind... So Let's Start Again!

Found out a couple of weeks ago that I was allergic to penicillin.  I wasn't allergic to it the last time I took Amoxcicillin... is that spelled right?  Anyways... I took 1 pill and all Hades broke loose in my body.  I ended up at ECare hooked up to an I.V. and popping all kinds of pills.  It was a crazy little adventure!  My lovely wife was kind enough to snap a picture of me with her iPhone, and here it is!
