We took a duck tour which is amphibious vehicle which they used in WW2. We went to historic downtown Austin then to Austin Lake. Austin is known as the music capitol. There were lots of musicians, bums, bars and restaurants. Here are some pictures of the trip.
We made it to Texas. Its flat and not very friendly in Killen & Fort Hood. I laughed when I saw the store H.E.B. which stands for Here Everythings Better, thats the Texas motto. Beautiful blue skys, pretty sunsets, great thunderstorms, and very flat. I am lost without my Utah mountains. Here are some pictures to enjoy of our trip. Im sure proud of our solider Andy. Amy and Andy have a great place, I love they way Amy decorated. I also enjoyed spendig time with the grand dogs, and believe it or not Amy can cook!
This was my favorite cartoon in the early 70's. Now I understand why I am the way I am. The late 60's and early 70's were very interesting...Check it out.

I have experienced all religions except for Buddhism, Hinduism and Muslim. I was scared to death to become a mother but I have found I have loved being that the best!
"Independent" by Webbie is my new theme song.(I should say, chorus) Craig & I were hip-hopping and jammin to my new song. This is my new life being I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T. I own my own house(with the bank) drive my own car, two jobs(3 really), works hard, she's a bad broad! That is me ;) I now have this song as my ring tone and have a great time jammin on the radio to it. A funny example of this was when I took the Boys...Katelyn and I, to the opening arena football game of the Utah Blaze. To celebrate their birthdays together for the last time, until Craig gets back from his mission. We had a blast even though they lost by one point. As we were leaving the parking garage at the Gateway my song came on and jam we did. As I pulled up to pay, with my cash out, I was singin the chorus with attitude and the gal in the boothe just smiled and laughed and said "you go girl". She looked to be around 28 to 30, single and a cute African American girl. I am sure this old white lady made her day! There is nothing wrong with being independent. I have grown alot over the last five years and like being I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t but realize I look forward to sharing my Independence with a very special companion. Indeed special he will be :)
