Lance got the opportunity to go to Washington D.C. on "business" for a couple days and therefor here I sit... alone.
Just a minute...
Ok- Beth just come out of her room to tell me she was "done" (she was in bed for the night... I guess she though this was a nap because it was still slightly light when she went to bed.) After changing her dirty diaper and being reminded about the ice cream promise I put her back in bed and told her it was nighttime and everyone was going to bed.
Anyways... so here I sit alone. I don't know about you guys but when I'm alone at night I imagine things. Did I lock the door? Did I pull down all the blinds? Is that a man in the corner? I don't know what it is... Needless to say I'm not alone very often. Lance sometimes has a dinner that goes late but rarely is he out of town. I'm excited for him to be able to go to D.C. I don't know if he will be able to see any of his friends that are there but I hope so for his sake. He has been working so hard this summer... ok- well in between the dinners, golf, lunches, seminars, etc. Luckily he loves what he does, which is a relief because we have to be able to pay off this chunk of money for law school somehow... He loves the firm and the people he works with and I have to agree with him. We have met some really nice people here and now that we are in the groove of things and actually getting out with these people I can see ourselves living here. We attended a really great ward yesterday and looked around the ward boundaries. I think we might end up there. It's in a place called Carrollton, it's north west of Dallas. The neighborhoods are nice, the people are friendly, the schools are good, the houses are a great price, and the commute is doable. I guess we'll see where the next year takes us.
Well after rambling, and creating an entirely boring post (sorry), I am going to go have a quick FHE with myself and the Ensign and then either treat myself to a chick flick I picked up at the library or start my new book, Sunflower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See.
Good night.

not boring! sad! I don't like hearing you talk about dallas in a permanent kind of way like that. it reminds me that we're probably not going to be "austin family" forever. but I guess when I put my selfishness aside, I'm excited for lance's job and that you found a nice area. oh, and you'll be fine with lance gone overnight. if your mind won't let up enough to sleep, try sleeping with music in your ears and a loaded gun under your bed. I promise it works. :) tell beth we're so proud of her and her dry panties!
I totally hear you on getting weirded out when you are alone. I do the same stuff. Jeremy has only left once and I freaked myself out all night long. Enjoy your book girl, you need that. And I cannot wait to see you guys in Utah. I am excited for you and Dallas. I hope you find a really good house with an excellent ward.
Yeah, I hear you on being alone! Although I definitely would say it gets better with time (although it doesn't sound like it is or is going to be a frequent thing for you, which is nice!). I love reading all of your updates, and hearing about Texas. I constantly remind Nathan that we have to go visit you so we can see and experience Texas for ourselves!
