Under the Western Sky

We had a great time in Wyoming and South Dakota. We went caving, went to Devils Tower and Mount Rushmore. All in 2 days!!! We put 800 miles on the rental car and awesome memories in our brains and on film. The sky in Cheyenne was so big!! I felt pinned under the western sky. Laura Ingalls writes about this. It also made me think of that and Sarah, plain and tall...

Headed West

Two weeks turned into three so I am joining Matt on the 17th for 8 days in Chyannne. We found super cheap tix on West Air, which I had never heard of, and Matt's new company will let me stay in his hotel room for free! How can anyone expect us to stay apart!!?? Alas, this means I will not be in TX for Father's Day. Happy Father's Day anyway. I love you Papa!

On the Road Again.

I am going back on the road!!! Well, sort of. The reason being is that Matt got a brand new "jeerrrob." 'Job' for those of you who are not in the Strong Bad know. So I am down to working only 2 days a week as a nanny and the other days as a musician, working on booking shows, writing songs, putting together press packs etc. Matt goes in a week for training to his new job. The job is in Cool Springs, just south of Nashville, but the training is in Chyanne, WY. Only two weeks...we can make it.

New activities risk wife's health...news at 11

Matt joined his work softball team and is pretty fast running those bases, though I nearly got beaned sitting in the bleachers by several wild balls from the home plate and outfield. Believe me, there will be photos soon.

In sickness and in health

"In sickness and in health" came into play very soon for us when a kidney stone in Matt landed us squarely in the ER until all hours of the night about a week after we got back from our honeymoon. It gave me a scare to see my big strong husband weak, pale and in lots of pain, but he recovered and is working on preventing more!

Honeymoon synopsis

Our honeymoon was in the Smokies in a lovely cabin in the moutains between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinberg, TN where we white water rafted, drove through the mountains and generally enjoyed each other's company. We highly recommend the cabins in the mountains for getaways! We are going to have pictures of the trip up soon.
