Emotional Paradox

We got a 2010 Ford Fusion, and we love it!

Sarah and I spent our last Spring Break in Texas. We stopped briefly in Addison, a suburb of Dallas, then went to Round Rock for three nights. We spent a lot of time with Braeden, ate great food, and saw the Shamu show Believe at SeaWorld. Then we headed to San Antonio for two nights on the Riverwalk. We shopped, ate good food, and relaxed. The weather was great, raining only once, with temperatures in the mid-70s.

Here are some pictures from the trip.

School has taken off. I am in 21 of the 24 credit hours for this semester, and the 7 classes are going full bore. I have assignments due every day, and I have to read at least 6 books – in addition to textbooks – by the end of the semester. But hey… I did this to myself.

Sarah and I went to visit Ashland Gardens, a wedding ceremony place in the city. We booked a date for a small ceremony – May 22. We’re both excited about being able to share this with family and close friends.

Sarah got a preliminary date for training: July 6. It’s good and bad – good because she won’t be going back to Ft. Lewis to chaperone cadets for two months; bad because she has to report on Braeden’s birthday. This will be the second consecutive birthday that she’s missed, but we both understand that it’s part of the job. I haven’t got my dates yet – I still have to place a call to my branch manager and figure some things out.

It’s Super Bowl weekend, and we’re having chips & queso, Buffalo Wild Wings, and plenty of beer. Go Colts!

The other day while Sarah & I were driving, she let it slip: she got us tickets to see John Mayer the weekend after my birthday! I was both surprised and immediately excited – I’ve wanted to go to his concert since I heard about the OKC stop last Fall.

Needless to say, we’ve been listening to lots of John Mayer lately just to make sure we’re 100% ready in March.
