Blissful Boredom

Well, I think my title says it all. We have been on the move for so many weekends that it finally caught up to me this weekend! However, I have had absolutely NOTHING to do....with the exception of answering customer phone calls at 7:15 on a Sunday morning, but at this point that is a given. Being bored is not usually my thing, in fact normally I am on the brink of insanity if I am not on the move. BUT I am getting the hang of this sitting around doing nothing thing for the time being and I think that it is WONDERFUL! Granted I will probably have to entertain myself in someway next weekend, but for now I am enjoying a glass of wine and "Horton Hears a Who". I will be traveling to Guatemala two weeks from today for a fishing trip that I won for a sales contest through my company. Who knew selling so many tomatoes to Chick-fil-a & Jason's Deli would send me out of the country. Normally, I am not much of a fisher-woman but any excuse to travel for free and be sans laptop and cell phone for 5 DAYS is welcome. I will definitely be posting pictures from that trip! Until then, I am just not that sure if I will have much to blog about....and for now, that's a great thing! Take care!

5 Christmases!

I haven't posted in a few weeks due to the insane amount of traveling we have endured since my last post. We started at Nana's house for the Bessire Christmas on the 23rd, then Slaton with the Lewis clan on Christmas Eve, then traveled to Amarillo that same night to be with my family. We came home on Christmas Day because B had to work the following morning. We packed up Saturday the 27th and spent a couple of days in Plainview with B's family until sunday the 28th. We were then home for work for 3 days then back to Amarillo with our friends Tad, Tanner & Mary for New Year's Eve. We woke up the next morning and drove from Amarillo to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl on the 2nd. We got home on the 3rd and Brian left this morning (the 4th) and will be gone for 5 days visiting San Antonio, Houston & Dalhart for work. I am already missing him but I have to say that it is very nice to be home! ALL of the Christmases were wonderful and we enjoyed seeing everyone so much! We are definitely blessed with some amazing family. As for the cotton bowl.... let's just say the trip was doomed from the beginning. First of all, I THREW OUR TICKETS AWAY! Yep, FOUR cotton bowl tickets, in the trash. It was a complete accident, but we had so many USPS envelopes from online gift ordering that it was thrown away with the rest. We replaced them, not sure what we would have done if they were just our tickets, but they were Tanner & Mary's also and we had made arrangements to go together, so it is what it is. An expensive lesson learned. I will try to post some pictures from all of the events in a later post. I didn't have my camera a lot of the time so I am waiting on copies from Mary. I hope you all had a safe & wonderful New Year & I will post pictures soon!
