Separated but keeping the Faith

Had lunch with my oldest daughter, surprised her. She was really excited. My brother - Navy guy - is coming up for the weekend.

Should be some fun times...

Glad you have some fun weekend plans. I always like having plans to look forward to. Where in TX do you live? I wish I was enjoying your weather down here. I forget it's spring up here in the NW :-)

[jaguilar]

Well the is crazy right now. I live in Arlington, TX. In between Dallas and Ft. Worth. We had highs in the 80's last week. Then Monday night a storm blew in and we had golf ball to softball size hail. Then we had lows in the 40's, now we have these crazy high winds.

I like the Spring and fall the best, not looking forward to the summer.

Is it the rainy season up there yet?

[FitChik]

Haha... it's rainy season year round up here! This is my first winter up and I haven't minded it too much. But I did miss the heat of the south up here last summer.... We had frozen precip even into early June last year.

My H lived around Ft Hood and we visited Austin a lot. Never went to Dallas though. I hate those big cold fronts that blow in hail & tornadoes! Wow - I have never seen softball sized hail. Yikes!

[jaguilar]

Yea, it was crazy. It hit about 30 minutes from here.

Austin, that place is crazy. What's the saying they have, Keep Austin Weird.

It's that time of year big storms and tornadoes.

So you're going to deploy out of Ft. Hood, Killeen?

[FitChik]

I will deploy from Ft. Lewis, WA. I live in Wa and my H lives in TX. We were long distance. I was supposed to move to TX right now actually and then deploy from Hood so that my H and I would be located together. But when he filed for D, he also put a stop to me moving.... as we have to be married for the Army to move me. Granted...we're still married but do not agree to the move.

Austin is a crazy place. I love the outdoor running path around the river down there. And also lots of places to kayak and get on the water! I would have loved living there for a few years.

My brother rented a condo out on Lake Travis last year. We brought our families out, it was great. We BBQ'ed and went swimming and relaxed. But the best thing of all was watching the deer come up to the condo, like puppies, begging for food. It's beautiful out there.

Ya, that hale was crazy. I was worried about my car since it was outside. But no damage was done to is surprsingly.

I hope you have a good weekend this weekend with your brother. Maybe next week we can meet for lunch or something.

Thanks you do the same. Lunch sounds good, I'll email you.

Just tried to call WAMU to see what I can do to save the house since she declined the loan modification. I opened up the documents and saw where she had written "DECLINED" in caps. I'm bummed, need to go for a run.
