I'm On My Way

I've been feeling a little bit restless lately... I don't know why and I don't know what I can do to remedy it, but I've been thought about for the past year or so of just moving away. It wouldn't be for forever, because NWA will always be my home and where my family is but it would just be something new, something to do on my own, and an adventure that I'll never have the chance to do when I'm married and have kids.



So, when I went to postsecret.com and saw this picture- it just kind of spoke to me. I wish I had enough nerve to just up and do it. Then, I scrolled down and it had a link to this girl's blog- and she is doing it!! I don't even know her, but I'm excited for her and I can't wait to read about her adventures along the way.

I've researched places- and I have several lists going of pros and cons of each like living costs, jobs, and housing prices. And I have a list of how much I would want saved and exactly what money would be going where.

Who knows- maybe in a couple of years, I'll be sending you a postcard from Eugene, Oregon!!! :)

at the graves

1. sam and chuy meet harper. i didn't get any pictures because they were acting all crazy. we ended up keeping them seperated most of the time. it was chuy and sam's first time to ever hang out with a girl, if you get my drift. so they met, and hopefully it will go a little smoother on christmas.

2. Sam and Chuy run around and act like mad men. And act really cute :)

3. I round up any and every kid that's outside and make them pose for pictures with me. Hahaha. You'll take pictures and you'll like it!

Here we go...

Halloween is fast approaching, and this year I've decided to get more in to the swing of things... so how to start..hmmm. I went to amazon.com and decided Sam and Chuy needed Halloween costumes. Forget the fact that I'll probably be working that night and have nowhere to take them to show off these costumes, I ordered them anyways. :)

Chuy, I decided, would be a cow. Now since he is a dachshund- I did put the hot dog costume (with ketchup, not mustard!) into my "cart" but decided against as it just seemed to obvious. And Sam...

Well, he was going to be Spiderman. Spider-dog, Spider-dog, does whatever a Spider-dog does. If only I had even LOOKED at sizing charts...

I got Chuy a medium.. which makes him look like a 100 pound waif in her 200 pound boyfriend's t-shirt.. the legs of the cow hit the floor and looks pretty ridiculous. Sam got a large (well, he is quite the fatty mcpatty so...) and it's so big that you can't even see his paws coming out of the sleeves.

I decided to forge ahead and take pictures anyway. It was a disaster!! I had to seperate them, pin them down, get the ill-fitted costumes on and then chase them around trying to snap one decent picture. (Which I will post later, when I find the cord to my camera :))

I'm not going to let this costume fiasco dampen my Halloween spirit- but I will be taking those costumes to my mom's consignment store and hopefully getting some money from them... so I can buy Christmas outfits (it's coming up quick!!!)
