Canyon Lake Park

We're trying to get settled here in Texas, but things are still a bit chaotic. I have no idea how to get anywhere other than the Target, the HEB and the Lowes. I'm still waiting to hear back about whether I got an interview from the job fair. Jeff is getting back into working mode now that I'm here to help with MacGyver. We're living out of boxes, but are hoping to change that soon. I'm either constantly sick or suffering from allergies.

It's fun. I know I made it sound like a mess, but I like it.

The other day we went on a picnic with Mac. We decided to go to a place called Canyon Lake, about 30 minutes outside of San Antonio on the way to Austin. It was gorgeous. There were hundreds of people tubing down the Guadalupe River, and the Canyon Lake itself was stunning. We had to hike down a bit of a rocky trail before getting to the water, which was a crystal blue against the gray backdrop of the rocks. There were even little waves from the boats on the lake; we think this was the first time Mac saw waves, so he was a bit hesitant at first, but he quickly fell in love with them. While we pseudo-ate (the dog was a bit excited), Mac galloped around the shore and teased the water with his white-tipped paws. He loved it, and, although it wasn't the typical relaxing picnic we have been wired to expect, we loved it, too.

When you come to visit we'll have to take you out there for a swim.

Nostalgia

I'm purging here at GHS on my last official day of school, I want you all to know that, even though I keep moving away from family, I don't want to rid or lessen the value of any of my relationships with you because of the distance between us. It's hard to be apart from people I love, but I hope this step serves as a chance to better the time I spend with you all. Plus, there is always Skype, right?

Though I'm in a bit of a nostalgic mood, it's well mixed with pure exhaustion, so I hope my message is coming across.
