Good Times!

This weekend was pretty relaxed for the most part. Kyle spent a lot of it getting ready for his brief trip to San Antonio.

We did however take the time to run a Father's Day 5k downtown. The money benefited a local community center for kids and it was such an awesome run. The route took us by this amazing bakery and we have plans to go back and sample the goodness haha.


One of the most interesting parts about doing anything downtown is how close you are to Mexico. I took this picture as we went passed one of the bridges going into Mexico. The big flag always cracks me up.


Sunday we got up early and did a little shopping and had lunch at Jason's Deli before I dropped Kyle off at the airport. He will be back on Tuesday so it is definitely a quick trip.

Some of the best news we got was on Friday. Kyle met with his current brigade commander about a job opportunity. Polk and JRTC desperately need someone with Kyle's qualifications and if the by name request goes through HRC (human resources command) quickly and correctly we will be moving.


We are excited and hopeful that everything will go smoothly! Now it's just fingers crossed that we can get an RFO soon and get the house on the market. :)

Hope you all had an amazing weekend!!!

  2. I think it's funny how close you are to Mexico. When I drive into work, if I take one route, I can actually see Canada on the other side of the Buffalo River. We are both so close to our neighbors yet so far away!

    Hope all goes well with getting to JRTC. John was looking at houses in the area while he was there in April and it seems like you can get a pretty good deal down there!!
