Our Lil' Place in the World

As most of you know, leaving El Paso meant leaving our big and comfortable house behind. Unless your taste is shag carpet, flower power wallpaper and green tiling, Lawton does not have much to desire when it comes to housing. So, instead of living in the 70s- we opted for a smaller townhouse, which is more our style ( meaning its in the 21st Century!) Its small, especially with our three crazy animals (who really don't get along) and very different from what we are used to. But for now... its our home. Check it out:

Our Home Office

Our Master Bathroom... laundry room is in here too on the right.

This is our front door, stairs leading up to the first floor. Gate is there for our little escape artist, Anakin, who has decided he does not love us anymore and tries to get out at any good opportunity.

Our living room... yes, our TINY living room with Jade and Anakin hanging out.




Our Dining Room.. right off of our even smaller kitchen. Its so small I didnt even bother taking a picture of it! :) Oh, and Lyra saying "Hi" under our new table.

Other View... so if you come and visit us this is where you will be staying!! :)

(My 25th Bday Dinner)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June has come and almost gone.... like the quickness of a summer day. Why is it that summer days seem to go so fast? I spent 8 days in wonderful South Carolina and it flew right on by! Although my trip was over even before it began, it really made me think about life and how fast it passes you by. In just two years, my life has drastically changed. It seems like yesterday I was running across campus, trying to make it to my next class on time. And now I am celebrating my One Year Wedding Anniversary with my wonderful husband. Driving down those Carolina roads, I started to remember how much I wanted to leave... how I was dying to get out of college and start my life. I wish I could talk to that girl and tell her to slow down... stop and look around... take in everything you are experiencing because one day you will really miss your life in this moment. As much as my trip made me realize how much I miss my Carolina, I know there is a reason life has led me down a different path... I am meant for something more. My trip down memory lane reminded me of this quote:

"All changes, even the most longed for, have a certain melancholy;for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves" -Anatole France
