Everything is bigger in Texas.

I need to learn Spanish as soon as possible. Like conversational Spanish. Everyone EVERYONE seems to be Mexican or Hispanic around where I live. And they are all so short! I'm in Midgetland. I have no problem being in Midgetland, they are all so polite and nice, but I need to learn the language. People say immigrants should learn English, because the United States speaks English, this makes sense, and I mostly agree, HOWEVER I feel like I'm no longer in the U.S. and am slightly rude to not know the home language... crazy huh!?

I walked/jogged 4.2 miles today, I am so proud. I have really been working out more than every before. Not like intense workouts, just jogging and walking on the trails, but it doesn't even seem like working out, it just is fun! I have already lost a few pounds. I'm eating alright, not amazing, but better than I was when I was at home. I really believe this could be a turning point in my life. WHICH I AM SO READY/EXCITED FOR!

Who knows, I could lose weight... get a job... make money... find a.... MAN!? I believe! Speaking of which, every time Don't Stop Believing, GLEE edition comes on my iPod I cannot stop... BELIEVING. I'm constantly thinking about how shit is going to happen, and how I'm going to make it happen.

I am so very happy down here. It's really surprising. I think it's the sun. Who knew I was that susceptible to sunlight. "They" say that some PNWesterners have depression because of the weather, clearly I fall in that category. I think... because technically I'm medicated, so it's not 100% that it's the weather. But I think so. I'm getting some sort of natural high from the weather and working out! I've always heard of those endorphin things...

Congress Bridge BATS!

My walk takes me straight through a heavily populated/used dog park, and I have seen so many JRTs! I miss Goose so much! I know when he gets down here he is going to love it! He'll probably be a little porky from being at my Dad's so I'll have to take it slow, so he doesn't have a heart attack from excitement. I'm so excited to have my little man back. I even changed my MacBook background to be a picture of Goose and Ollie. Is it wrong to miss a dog more than people? I don't think so, he's my baby.

Don't worry guys, I miss you all quite a bit too!!!

In no particular order, here are just a couple people/animals I miss.

Mom and Goose

Goose followed here around the yard while she was mowing the lawn because she would stop and throw the ball (which is in his mouth) with the chuck-it (which is sticking out of her back pocket)! 

Dad, the day I left. I miss him. He turns 60 YEARS OLD May 19th!! Hard to believe. 

Samm and the kid, I love you both! 

Me with the most amazing woman on the planet.  

Lets get cuter! I don't think it's possible. Miss you Tai. 

They loved their outfits. 

Natalie, time to come to Texas!
