hola amigos, of course this shouldn't just now be the first entry...but so it is, charge it to the head, lack of electricity and wifi, not the heart. now that i have got it together, lol no jokes please, i will keep up with the blog as much as possible.
the time was right, and the opportunity presented itself to do what B and i have always talked about...as individuals, and as a couple.
We went for it, in grand style...sold pretty much all of our earthly belongings, bought the most amazing cool azz van, dubbed Bluequisha (love you Jackie) and hit the open road.
my only hesitation was my kids...i am a mom before anything else, and i know folks question even that, but really if i didn't give birth to you or if your name is not Brandy...i could care less.
anyway, when i made sure they were ok...mentally and physically..we were good to go...and go we did.
so quickly, or not so quickly of what has been going on thus far:
-went down to Galveston and Bolivar, beach camping and fishing....nothing like waking up to sunrises and waves
-stayed in Houston for few days with some GREAT friends, first experience selling my jewelry at Trader's Village...sales were slow, but sales non the less...the people were priceless though.
-went to Hot Springs, AK...oh my goodness the landscape was breathtaking...and we are just getting started.
-camped a few days in Ouchita National Forest...rained first night and i was NOT happy, in fact was quite a baby. Brandy took it all in stride, and we survived me and the storm lol. took a hike the next morning by myself...prayer and meditation...the trail opened up to a magnificent lake...wow was an understatement of what my eyes were blessed with.
hiked back up to campsite, well got lost a bit...like for real...just kept going in the up direction and knew i had to hit the campgrounds eventually...lawd i did enough sweating, huffing and puffing for the year but all worth it...and i got to start somewhere though, right? glad i can laugh about it now.
B had the best camp breakfast waiting, me lady has camping skills for real...her rope tying skills are the best too lol
played scrabble by candlelight and drank champagne while a gangsta raccoon tried to punk us...oh and one of the most butt ugliest possums tried to get into the van window the first night...got to love the critters.
-did the tourist thing and visited the bath houses in Hot Springs...uhh the springs are called HOT Springs for a reason...just ask B lol.
-headed back down to Austin, loving on the kids some more, oh how i wish we could take them with us, but there is this stupid rule about school...just joking.
