Valentines

This year for Valentines I surprised Andi with a trip to Buffalo Gap, Texas, USA. We stayed at a good friends ranch. It was rustic and we finally got the wood burning stove going to warm the whole house on Saturday. It was so relaxing and peaceful. I remember thinking, is this really only 20 mins from Abilene?

This ranch is extremely unique. He bought it off of a guy who had lived there for years and years. The previous owner must have been a little on the eccentric side. He had done so much work to the area, well groomed hiking trails, humorous trail markers, a make believe "boot hill", sand volleyball court, "lovers leap" that over looked the creek bed with a manikin buried head first in the creek bed with legs and boots up... Seriously, everywhere we went we found something new and odd.

Friday night I cooked fajitas and we watched Fireproof. Saturday we slept in and it was FREEZING!! So I put on my stocking cap, sweats, and jacket to cook breakfast... started wood burning stove! We went into Buffalo Gap for antiquing, then back to the ranch for a nap. It was great sleeping by the fire. Awaking from our nap, we went for a little hike around the area. We had such a good time. Saturday night for dinner I cooked out ribeye's and we had a awesome baked potato!!

Spending this weekend with Andi was awesome. We needed a time to relax and get away from school, work, and life. Didn't have a computer, phone wouldn't work, and it was just the stars at night! What a great way to spend the weekend!

Where have I been?!

Well it has been a couple of weeks since my last post. Life is back into full swing of things. Andi is hard at work completing her masters degree (December 2009!!!), and I am in week three of my doctorate (December 2012).

While continuing our normal daily jobs (teacher/athletic trainer) we also make time at church. Needless to say we are a couple of busy peeps. One thing that we make a priority of is spending time with each other.

Please keep us in your prayers as we continue the wild and crazy adventure of our life together!
