Things I Like

I like how older Texans say, "I'm proud for you" instead of "I'm proud of you."

Baron Batch played football with my brother Collin in high school. He has a brother my age, and I knew for some reason that their siblings lived with other families. Baron is now trying out for professional football teams and writes a blog for the Lubbock paper. Read his story... he is brave and sensitive in sharing his story (and a great writer)

Movin' On

Things were going so smoothly until an hour ago! I had the exact amount of boxes needed for packing, the movers were scheduled, the power and gas are on at the new place. Then, when I texted the movers to ask if they're having trouble finding my place, I found out that their "first move of the day was taking longer than expected." I doubt they really had a move scheduled before 9:00am, and they really forgot about me. Not a huge deal. I could take some time to get coffee and do a little work while I wait a couple more hours for them.

I got in my car (that I had just moved 20 minutes before), and it wouldn't start! Luckily, the shop around the corner said they can get to it today.

Bigger things in the world. Hoping the rest of it doesn't get snagged up!
