Theft, Friends and Fun

Well, obviously it has been quite a while since I last updated the reason being my computer was stolen several weeks ago and I just got my replacement the other day. I was having lunch with my brother at Chili's a couple of Sunday's ago in Robstown - just north of Corpus - and someone busted my window and stole my laptop and GPS. Plus I have been traveling around quite a bit the past month. So, here is what has been going on.

I spent about a week in Corpus staying with Josh, Sheridan and kids and hanging out with Brianne - the blonde in the pics below. I spent the week after Christmas down there and we had a great time. We went to the beach one day and flew kites and jumped off some sand dunes. It was really fun. Sheridan is a great photographer and really got some awesome pics. We also did a thing called "geocaching". It is a worldwide GPS scavenger hunt where you look up coordinates on the website - www.geocaching.com - and go out and try to find them. It is a lot of fun and there are "caches" hidden all over the world.

The rest of the time I have been spending time with Brianne when possible. She lives in Dallas so we have had to travel quite a bit to see each other but it has been a blast and she is great. We have spent a few days in Dallas -where we went to Six Flags - as well as College Station and even a weekend in Austin for her brother's wedding.

It has been a really fun month but it has not been without bad luck. Besides my truck getting broken in to, I got a speeding ticket on I35 in Austin and I lost my wallet. I had to replace all my credit cards and license as well as the wallet that I had just purchased. But what really stinks is I lost my Freebirds VIP card that allowed me to buy-one-get-one-free EVERYTIME I go. Now I am paying full price again for Freebirds.

Gotta love the crosseyed pics! Always makes me laugh. My mom still tells me that my eyes are going to get stuck like this.
