Fast Tracks!

Things around our house have been very busy.  As many of you know, Kris's busy season is about to start...Saturday!  The park opens a week later and he is very excited!  It is nice to see how much he enjoys his job!  I know the summer will fly by for him.  I am sure he is glad to have his first season behind him!  We are looking forward to what is to come!

I have been pretty busy at work.  We are making a few changes that will take a while to get use to, but that happens with every job!  I am looking forward to having company again at our house!  That helps my summer fly by!  I have been walking with one of my friends, and we were brave enough one night to take Daisy with us.  She loved it!  I was shocked at how well she did.  My friend then wanted to try Bode.  We couldn't stop laughing at how fast his tiny legs could move!  Scooter hasn't participated in our exercises yet, because I know how many stops we would have to make!  Eventually he can go.  

Overall, things are going great for Kris and me.  We are looking forward to the summer!  Come and see us!

Animal Update

A year ago today, our house was broken in at Lubbock.  Luckily, our dogs have finally made a full recovery!  I think Bode was over it in just a few weeks.  Yet, Scooter and Daisy were still defensive for a few months after it happened.  Needless to say, I'm sure we could use Daisy to identify who did it!  Now Scooter isn't as protective as he was towards me when men with dark hair are around.  I hope they have forgotten it!  Now our dogs are just as rotten as ever!  I think Bode would just prefer to stay outside all day and sun bathe.  Daisy used to want outside, but now it is getting warm and too hot for her.  Scooter pretty much follows me everywhere I go!  Kujo....well, he does his own thing and likes to meow  loudly in the middle of the night!  They do keep us entertained!

Nice Weather!

This weekend Kris and I worked in the yard.  The weather has been nice, just a little windy (but no dirt!).  We bought new trees for the backyard along the back fence.  We also bought new plants for our pots at our entry.  I'm not sure what they are, but they have yellow flowers that look like daisies.  I am ready for the yard to turn green again!  This week we are expecting the temperature  to be in the 80's!  We now need rain! 

I have started a prn (on-call) job at a nursing home in San Marcos.  It is a nice nursing home that reminds me of one in Denver City.  I figured this would help keep me entertained while Kris is working this summer!

One Year Ago Today...

...Kris moved to New Braunfels.  I can't believe how the time has gone by.  Kris has now been living here for a year!  In two days, he will be working for Schlitterbahn for a year also!   At this time last year, I was still living in Lubbock with the fear of not knowing how soon I would be moving.  Little did I know, the following morning, I would have a job offer and plans to join my husband the following week.  Kris has experienced a lot this past year!  He has traveled with his job to parts of the US he hasn't seen, gone to a NBA play-off game, experienced the men's final four,  went to a hockey game, saw a NFL game, bought our first home and new car, and topped the year off with a promotion....this all thanks to him getting a job at Schlitterbahn! I will say, it has been a good year!

Promoted!

As Kris returned to work on Monday from our visit back in Lubbock, he received some big news.  He has been promoted to the Food and Beverage Director (the top position in F & B).  He has jumped up two positions since February!  It was a quick year for him, and now I'm sure it will even be quicker next year.  This is a position he thought he would eventually get, after a few years of experience, and he is stoked!.  He is currently the youngest director at Schlitterbahn.  Everyone seems to be very excited for him!  He seems to be the perfect fit at Schlitterbahn.  I am very excited for him and am looking forward to what this year will bring!
