Looking Back

Today, I decided I was tired of trying to move my old blog posts the techie way and decided to just do it by copy and pasting.  While it seemed like it would be quite a task, it really was quite enjoyable. I’m also thankful to have a new blogging home that should make posting much easier. I hate the “holes” left in my story by not blogging consistently.

I’m reminded of all the twists and turns adoption has brought us. .  and just how much waiting. I think back to all the kids who hopefully have a forever home now that we’ve seen come through the adoption lists. And, I notice the progression in my thoughts and feelings. I’m now ok with the what if it doesn’t happen which I was so sure about just a few months back.

I still wish I had an airstream or other travel trailer, though during this trip, up and down and around the mountains, we realized we want a very small one. And that doesn’t even mention the next vacation we took. We had a great time tubing. But it’s funny reading this post knowing now that we got Ike’d by Hurricane Ike just a week before the wedding/trip. We were just thankful that the trip would bring warm showers and power.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Aaron Watson in concert. But, it won’t be long and I’ll get to see Fred Eaglesmith for the third time! Never would have thought Cody would have liked him this much. And, I got to see the Gourds sing that song in the same place I saw Ray Wylie Hubbard.

I found today that reading some of my old writing really surprises me. For example, this post or this post. (And, with the latter, I remembered a website I’d long forgotten.) I’d like to do some more storytelling too.

I’m reminded of missing tales and things I’d like to write about. This guy, well, over Christmas break he cooked pancakes from scratch without any help. (And even had to “churn” his own buttermilk with lemons.)

I’m also reminded of just how much I love Cody in our quiet moments and his hijinx (His Remote, Jpeg vs Raw, his emails). Or when he’s busted for what he does behind my back. I’d forgotten all about this meal and now am reminded how much I love living in a town where we have so much history. I need to go through my Codyism’s email folder and share some more funnies.

Oh! And to date, no invasion of the Lady Dudes this year.
