Our love has traveled to and from many places, Sacramento, Long Beach, San Francisco, Mexico, Texas, and finally landing firm in Los Angeles, CA. Brandon is finally making the music he loves and I am a case manager downtown. We still laugh at all the bumps we hit, and know there will be more to come...though now we are prepared. The thing that keeps us going strong, is the simple fact that we know without a doubt we are soul mates. We are best friends, lovers, fighters, and a constant reminder of the things that really matter...the small things. The butterflies still remain, and the memories continue to grow, we simply could not ask for anything more. We are grateful to the friends who stood by and supported us and know we could not have done it without Lia and Troy, Jake, and both our families. We have welcomed two kids into our life (puppies that is) and for now we feel complete.....stay posted for a belly bump :)

Thanksgiving in Buna, TX

TEXAS...HERE WE COME!!!

My future in-laws...YeeeeeHaaaaaw! I am stoked to being going back to some peace and quiet...


Just for you folks that aren't quite in tune with the Buna in our life.

Buna Texas is located in Jasper County--yes, I know they've done some pretty horrible things there, but I promise my soon to be relatives are not like those racist buttheads...well, not all of them:)

Males: 1,028 (46.7%)
Females: 1,174 (53.3%)
Median resident age: 36.2 years
Texas median age: 32.3 years

By the way, if you were to google map this place in satellite mode you wouldn't see much aside from acres of land and small lakes - try to find our families grocery store..the ONLY one in town.

Estimated median household income in 2007: $35,200(it was $29,611 in 2000)
Texas overall around: $47,548

Estimated median house/condo value in 2007 :$87,000 (it was $64,800 in 2000)
Texas overall around: $120,900 --------and you ask why we consider moving so much- HELLO!

Elevation: 75 feet

Land area: 5.95 square miles

* Black - 11.4%
* Hispanic - 1.5%
* Two or more races - 1.1%
* American Indian - 1.1%
* Other race - 0.7%

So there are the stats folks. I am marrying a man from Buna and all I have to say about the place is that it is AWESOME! Where else can you go and have jello shooters while line dancing in a smoke filled bar, with big cowboy hats and not so skinny cowgirls rocking there booby high jeans (well calimesa and yucaipa aren't that far off). Oh and let's not forget the 100+ acres of hunting ground my babes got out there for us to go 4-wheeling on. Life is good and it's only getting better!!!!

We are heading out on Tuesday and will be having our share of lonestar brewskies out in Texas by ohhhhh 2 pm CA time. I cannot wait for Thanksgiving either, his Mama makes same tasty cornbread stuffing and the rest of his family ain't that bad at cooking either. We hope you all have a wonderful Turkey day out here and Jen...please don't be shy on the mashed potatoes with the kids..it's the best part of T-day...love ya'll Gobble Gobble and a YeeeeeeHaaaaaa!

Ohhh My love for Mashed potatoes is seriously dangerous!
