Currently writing this from Cedar Hill State Park in Cedar Hill, Texas. We have been here almost a week now after a few days in McKinney Falls State Park in Austin. We were able to take care of a few things we needed to do and start on to our next adventures. It’s been a busy few weeks for us – we got engaged on almost two weeks ago, moving on from where had been home for 3 months, and just trying to reacclimate. We learned this week that my contract job that I’ve been doing remotely since October is ending this Friday. This gives us a great chance to get back to Oklahoma, take care of some things we need to do, plan a wedding for June 18, and in general relax with family.
We had a final date night in Three Rivers at the Agave Jalisco restaurant that has some of the best Mexican food we’ve had. We followed that with a drink at the little bar/restaurant across the street from there – the bartender makes a super tasty Whiskey Sour. Our time in Choke Canyon is where we started trying to implement date nights to have time out together which was very necessary for me. Working remotely I’m in the RV or our campsite with no in person contact and while Michael is fine not seeing people for days – I enjoy a bit of social interaction to keep me going.
We had a bit of a scare last weekend Moki, one of our two pups, started to act very lethargic and just not himself. We’ve been battling allergies and skin issues for a few weeks – for the third time in several months – and it eventually moves to his ears. He finally let me put some drops in his ear and I wonder if it messed up his equilibrium while it worked the ick out. By mid-day Saturday he started perking up – eating and drinking – and acting more peppy in general. When we walked at lunch today you’d have never known we were so worried over the weekend – he was full of energy today and trying to lead Michael instead of the other way around.
We’ve enjoyed having access to restaurants and a bigger variety of food choices in the stores here. We had Mother’s Day Brunch at Panera – one of my favorites and Chinese food from Panda – one we both enjoy a bunch for takeout in a hurry. We’ve also grilled a skirt steak for tostadas and some pork chops since we got here. But, we are anxious to get back to Oklahoma to see family again and spend time with them. We are so happy we’re going to have two months there with them to enjoy and visit. We’ve also enjoyed having more tv channels and reliable internet service for our viewing as well as gaming hobbies. I’m planning to work on finishing my medical coding class after my job ends Friday as I’ll have more time for things like that. I’ve been having fun being able to hang out with some of my online friends in games as well as streaming on Twitch.
