So far we are really enjoying Fort Worth and are trying to get out and do as much as possible :) A couple of weeks ago we went to an independent minor league baseball game, the Fort Worth Cats! I can't remember who they played but it was a lot of fun to get out and feel like a local. Skyler actually played at their field during his old USAO days, pretty cool!
We also had the opportunity to visit my brother, Matthew and my Uncle Shawn and Uncle Bob in Dallas. We stayed a night with them and I so much enjoyed it!! I have been missing familiar faces. Dallas is amazing and much different than Fort Worth, that's for sure. But Fort Worth is still pretty darn great.
I have been working quite a bit on getting the house decorated, which has not been easy. I am coming to the realization that I don't have very good taste!! I need help- desperately. However, while moving things around and whatnot, we have found a total of FOUR lizards in our house and only one outside! I googled it and they are actually gecko's. Kinda cool. My Mom is insisting that I catch the next one and bring it back to Oklahoma to be one of Saydi's pets. I just hope it doesn't become food to her most recent addition, Mackie the mockingbird...
These little gecko's really are cute. But if they grow I think I will change my mind...
Robbie and Steve and maybe Grandma are coming to spend this weekend with us. Skyler and I are really excited!! We have never had the opportunity to entertain before so our heads have been spinning with ideas. I will post a post (haha) after their visit to fill everyone in :) My mission before they arrive is to find a dining table... wish me luck.
Skyler and Rocky "skyped" with Edwin, Caitlin, Gibs and Dax a couple of days ago and he LOVED it! Sky said that it's nice to see faces! He also said that at one point Gibs kissed Rocky (the computer screen) and that it was the cutest thing ever. I don't doubt it!
Rocky is acting like a whole new little boy since we've moved to Texas; I think he finally feels at home :) He has been the BEST dog and his personality is shining through more and more. We love him a lot.
See how happy he looks!!
On another note: Skyler has been at his new job for over a month and is enjoying it. The company hired 2 new employees that he has been a part of training and to give them even more experience, Skyler has been moved to the night shift for about a month and a half :( I'm not very happy about that but I am thankful that it is temporary. Speaking of temporary, my job is coming to an end and I'm excited about my next adventure! This experience has been good for me but I am ready to move on. Nothing bad has happened, I'm just ready for a long-term position!
Skyler and I will be visiting Oklahoma twice in the next few weeks. For our first visit we are coming up so that we can see family and also so that I can finish some things at UCO and USAO, I'll be taking 9 hours this Fall, eeee!! I'm in the transition period of being an official resident of Texas so I'm taking my courses online in Oklahoma. We will also be celebrating the August birthdays for my side of the family: John, Allyson, Matthew, Brittany and myself. Mom is cooking two of my favorite dishes: chicken casserole and chocolate CAKE! I cannot wait!! For our second visit we will be attending a dear friend's wedding. I love weddings! And wedding cake...
Other than that everything else is pretty much the same in our lives. We miss everyone, everyday!!! I hope you enjoyed the post. I'm going to give my Dad and Step-Mom a call now :)
Love,
