Happy Spring!

Enjoy the pretty weather while it lasts, at least here in Lubbock anyway! 

We're back to those weird weather days, where it's 35 degrees at 8 AM when I leave the house, and 70 degrees by mid-afternoon. But I guess it could be worse!

Happy Spring!!

Happy Friday!

Praise the Lord, Spring Break is finally here.

We are just so excited to be heading home to visit the fam, eat good food, teach little Taylor how to shoot the shotgun, and NOT design any lesson plans/write up any Business Law case studies for at least 6 whole days.

Do you have any plans for the week, those out there who get a break? I have to admit, I think spring is my favorite season. Iced coffee and shorts and baseball...what's not to love?

Anyway, enjoy your weekend, wherever you are and whatever you're doing!

Romping in a Winter Wonderland!

Today was Murphy & Bear Bear's first snow! Bear didn't really care. In fact, he didn't seem to be too crazy about it. But Murphy was in heaven! He actually ran around with his mouth to the ground, eating snow as he ran. Such a sight. Bear just would've rather hung out with me on the couch. Takes after his mama I guess! 

Happy Snow Day, LBK!

Y'all. (Pt. 2)

I know I already told y'all about the dust storm yesterday...but this is just too crazy not to watch! Skip ahead to about 1:15. That's where it gets good! Maybe it's just me, being from East Texas and all, but this is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen! 

Y'all.

It is the downright Apocalypse here in LBK. Who woulda thunk God wanted to started the End of Days in the armpit of the world? I guess it makes sense though, when he rebuilds His Kingdom here on Earth, who the heck is gonna want to live in Lubbock? Seriously y'all, gusts up to 75 MPH, and with all this here plowed land surrounding Lubbock, that top soil was whisked right away into the air and into our lungs in no time flat!


(Am I doin' a good enough job of soundin' like a legit Lubbockian? I'm goin' for the West Texas thing here, folks. Darn tootin'!)

Happy Monday to everyone who's not breathin' in manure and dust! And an even happier Monday to everyone who is!

A Little Bit of Advice for Your Saturday

Hope you're all having a good weekend thus far! Here in Lubbock it is rainy and overcast and cool, bordering on chilly when the sun goes down; AKA perfect weather for staying inside, watching lots of TV (Rex just got cable, it's the first time either of us have had it in over two years!), doing some homework, crafting, and being l a z y y y y. 

Also, just in case you're curious, I'm working on my first piece of art that I think could fall into the category of "graphic design"... I'll let y'all know how it goes, because I know you're just on the edge of your seats!! 

If Only...

Don't you wish you were here? I sure do. I have never been more tired of the heat and the lack of cloud cover and the dryness and the dust and the dead grass. Weather gods, please send some rain on us poor, desperate Lubbockians! Sigh, what I wouldn't do for some snow and sleeping bags. 

East Texas in the fall is one of my favorite things, I can't even imagine what it's like on the East Coast. The first day of autumn is less than a month away, thank goodness! 

I love almost everything she ever wears. Really! Especially her winter wardrobe. I can't wait to wear hats and thick wool socks and boots! 

What are your thoughts about the seasons? If you live in Texas, you're probably darn sick of the sun. But the lack of autumn and spring in Texas sometimes makes me sad. Which is your favorite? 

Hope you're having a good sweltering summer if you're in Texas, and a good normal summer otherwise!
