Perfect NE Bexar county skies. <3 SA.  These while Indy gets pounded with rain and gross weather. Laura and the boys were hunkered down in Target with tornado warnings and intermittent power outages.  Weather's so fickle.  (K)

Despite Her Appearance in this Picture, Dessie was ACTUALLY Enjoying our Visit.

Kian and I went to visit Nonnie one more time before I left for San Antonio. She was doing really well that day. I think she's gonna be around for lots of my return visits.

A Second Final Goodbye?

One of my last days in Indy, Kian and I made an important stop to say goodbye to my family residing in The Hill. I felt kinda bad, I started crying, which triggered Kian bawling his eyes out. It was cathartic for us both, but I didn't intend for the visit to be so sad.

They were what I hope to someday be.

Movin' On

My boys, before Jack's last day of kindergarten. So proud of these little dudes.

IN SR 37: Where the Glum Piled On

This was taken on my drive back from dropping off the boys w/ Laura's brother, the day we left for San Antonio. Pretty much was a nice scoop of depression heaped upon my sadness pie that day.

Foodies

Lunch for Laura and I at Crabby Jack's in San Antonio. Those are Gator Bites in the background. Not all that tasty.

Workin on my 12 oz. curls

I'm a lazy, worthless ass.

Thank the Universe for Technology

***WHEW***

Now THAT was a whirlwind couple of months.

Since last posting on here, I've accepted a new job in San Antonio, Texas and have moved down here as our family's scout team. Testing the waters of a new city while Laura and the boys hold down the fort - for the (hopefully) short amount of time it remains our fort - in Indianapolis. It's only now sinking in, after nearly 2 weeks off work, that I no longer live in Indy. And, that soon, none of us will live in Indianapolis. I still refer to it as home, speak affectionately about it and about all the people who remain there, probably much to the chagrin of my new employers.

But, I'm able to keep tabs on the family with daily phone calls, text messages, and Skype video sessions. I hope that anyone in our friends and family list who read this will reach out and add us as Skype contacts so that we might get the chance to talk here and there through a truly fun and amazing advent in technology. It's soothed my aching heart by giving me little bursts of time to look at everyone's smiling faces and get to talk to them with what feels like much less physical distance between us.

Things are going well down here: signed a lease on an apartment, met my new bosses and got to hang out with them the last couple of days, and am getting to know the people in the office with whom I'll be working closely in the coming days, weeks, and months. I just wish the damn house would sell already, but I've got to maintain a realistic mindset about it - it'll sell when an interested person lays eyes on it, and that'll have to be good enough.

Hopefully, with my newfound "bachelorhood" I'll make some more time to blog. Big plans, likely to be followed up with unimpressive efforts, but that's what I have for now.

Much love, and hit me or Laura and the boys up sometime.
