A long update

We went camping this past weekend with some awesome friends and it was a blast. This is only the second vacation Nathan and I have had in the 5 and a half years we have been together. The first was our honeymoon. It was super cold. We had no warm clothes. At night it was in the 40s and it was windy to boot. The first night sucked. The second and third nights, we were good. We went to walmart in Uvalde the second day and got extra warm clothes. We even bought Garner hoodies to sleep in. I got up before Nathan on the second day so I went to the park store and bought some hoodies and hot cocoa for us to warm up.

We got in the river during the day when it warmed up but it was still super cold. I realize this river is called the frio river (frio meaning cold in spanish) but normally after being in the water you get used to it. Not this time, our appendages went numb. We still had fun. The normal things to do were closed but we still managed to have a lot of fun. We climbed a mountain and I even managed not to eat it too bad. I am a really clumsy person so hiking doesn't agree with me. Falling off the side of a mountain is not on my to do list.

We got in trouble 3 times at Garner because there is no alcohol consumption in the park. We were told by the people at the store as long as we were discreet by drinking out of cups or koozies we were good. The park ranger saw us pouring beer into cups and told us that and I quote "there is no drinking in the park of garner". Twice we got busted for that and the other time was because our fire was too high. There wasn't much we could do about that since we had just thrown some starter logs on the fire.

I haven't had internet at my house for 3 weeks now. Apparently my signal is really weak and time warner needs to lay down some more lines. It has been hell because everything is going through the homeowner's association since we live in a townhome. Everything has been pulling teeth. I have to say I am not happy with the realty company that runs our townhome. Our place looked like shit when we moved in. They have done a crappy job of managing things. It was disgusting when we moved in.

We now have a washer and dryer. It has been awesome to do laundry whenever I want and not have to wait on other people. I can just put a load in and walk away and do something else. There isn't anymore getting 20 bucks worth of quarters just to wash clothes. I am super excited and have really enjoyed it. We did about 6 loads of laundry last night and there is still more that needs to be done. All in all we will have 12-14 loads to do. We are almost done. There is so much that needs to be done to the hosue. I am working on it slowly.

I ordered a super cute sign for our bedroom door from american woodcrafts. Totally cute. It says love and then behind it, Always kiss me goodnight! I love it.



We are still TTC though we are debating going in for a progesterone and prolactin blood tests at 8DPO. We aren't sure. The cost is only 300 bucks and it's not covered by insurance. I think it will have to wait. All the moving expenses have drained our savings.

Nathan and I were talking last night and we decided with the tax return money we will be going car shopping. I really hope that the tax return hits on Friday. If it does by this weekend, I can have a new car. I have been without a car for 2 and half to three years. Finally it is starting to get to me and I feel stir crazy when Nathan leaves and I am stuck at home. I hate running my errands when he gets off work on the weekend because I can't do what when I want to or need to. The contenders are mazda, toyota and honda. We are going to test drive all three and see how I like it. I love hondas and toyotas and have owned both brands. Cross your fingers our return gets deposited on Friday.
