Learning to Love Our Lives Abroad: Beautiful Spring Weather

We have had some really beautiful days here. Not too hot, not too cold and a little light breeze. I love spring time. I take that back. I love spring time after everything has bloomed. When things are starting to grow, my allergies knock me off my feet, but that has already happened so now I can enjoy it! Sunday after Sarah and Christine and the two doggies hit the road we pulled out a blanket put on our swimsuit, lathered up on sunscreen and read, ate fruit and drank lots of ice water. It was SOOO relaxing! We decided it would be cruel of us not to try to get some color on our skin this year so we aren't blinding everyone we pass with our pale white skin.

Monday my tai chi class moved class outside and it was fantastic. The energy outside was so perfect for tai chi.

Hopefully we will have lots of beautiful spring days. I fear the summer is going to be nothing short of horrible. I have a feeling it is going to CRAZY hot and very humid. I can do crazy hot, its not like I moved from up North or anything, but the humidity is going to kill me!! Lubbock is so nice and dry that the heat isn't that miserable. I guess time will tell what the summer brings.

Going back to our houseguests, here are some pictures of the doggies!! It was kind of nice to have some dogs back in the house. Though it did remind both of us how much we REALLY miss having a dog around here on a daily basis. We tried to steal Henry from Sarah, and she offered to consider to lend him to us for a week and we would have brought him back when we go to Austin this weekend. I thought her offering to consider the offer was quite sweet of her :) Of course, we wouldn't have done it because we would have gotten attached and then would have had to kidnap him. :o) We loved Chaplin also, but he is a mamma's boy and so it was hard to get to know the little dude! So here they are!
