TEXAS UPDATES

First, where exactly can you find us these days?  The answer is most likely either Abilene or Dallas.  On the map, you can find Abilene in the middle of the smiley face.  Dallas is approximately three hours east of Abilene.



Why Abilene?  Abilene is the home of Dyess Air Force Base where Jamison is currently stationed.  We're not sure how long we'll be here, but at this time it appears that it will be at least for a couple of more years.

On October 14, 2007, we celebrated our first anniversary at the Dallas Arboretum

No, we're not getting married again!  But, we did go to our friends' wedding in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, in May, 2007.  Congrats Cat and Jeremy!

  In November, 2006, we celebrated our first Thanksgiving in our new house.  Diane and the Richarts were able to make the journey to Texas to be with us.

Also in November, 2006, we also got a new dog named Lucy!  She's a chihuahua and Yorkshire terrier mix.  We got her when she was about seven weeks old.  Jamison is getting used to a small dog, but he loves her!

Here, Lucy is playing in our first snow.  
They actually cancelled school and work for this!
