What's been happening around here...

So life has been extraordinarily crazy! 

I'm going to start with my poor car.

First it started with a trip to Walmart one evening. My car decided that it wasn't going to start for some reason. Eventually it did so we were able to get home, and we thought that it was all fine and dandy until one morning a few days later my car wouldn't start again. We were pretty sure my car had completely died, but after calling the dealership, and doing some trouble shooting we found out that it was just a dead battery.

I was happy it only cost around $50.00 instead of $200.00 to fix what was wrong or worst case having to buy a whole new car.

The other thing that has happened was that  my car got backed into. As you can see it's not that bad, at least to me. Ricky on the other hand completely freaked out and got mad at me even though it wasn't my fault. So eventually we are going to get this fixed, eventually.

In other news, we (me, Ricky, a bunch of our friends and their children) went to the county fair here in Abilene. It wasn't that great but I haven't been to a fair in so long that I can't really remember what I really enjoyed about it.

We went on Military appreciation day so we didn't have to pay to get it. So it was worth it to hang out with some friends. Of course we did find out that the rodeo was the next day. Ricky was kind of bummed about that.

Also Ricky has been upgrading his 22. It looks a lot cooler to me now and it shoots more accurately now with the red dot sight. Ricky's really proud of it.

Also Ricky is getting all of his stuff ready for his deployment, which is coming up a whole lot faster then I want it to.

But with any luck it will go just as fast.

Busy weekend

So this weekend has been crazy. It started with me getting a real piano!

It's a little old and worn but it still plays really well and it doesn't look to bad. I've really been enjoying having this over my keyboard. 

We also got a raft for when we go fishing. 

Ricky was so excited that he couldn't wait to blow it up.

Then he didn't want to get out of it.

Eventually he did and we went fishing, to try out the raft.

Ricky loves going fishing, even though we are both absolutely lousy at fishing here in Texas. He says he's good at stream fishing. Me, well I'm just lazy.

The raft had these things that held the poles for you, so I would cast my line, put it in the thing, and enjoy the weather and the company. But I'm ok with being a horrible fisherman, because if I ever catch a fish I would probably have to clean it, or at the very least touch it. I'm not sure I really want to do that just yet.

Anyways that was our Friday. Not even the entire weekend. Saturday we had a group lunch that I almost missed, because I had to work most of the afternoon. I did make it and had a lot of fun hanging out with our friends and their kids here. 

Sunday we went to a birthday party for one of friend's kid's 1st birthday. That was a lot of fun too. We played games and ate desserts and had a blast. 

And finally today we went to the lake and played on a raft and had a picnic and really just enjoyed the day in the sun and the water. I didn't have my camera for anything other then Friday, otherwise I would have more pictures. I'm still working on actually taking pictures for all these group events that we go and do. Hopefully I'll get better at it.
