Jayhawk in Texas

I grew up in Kansas. But one job hunt and hiring later, we are now transplants in Texas. We have not missed the strange weather we were used to and everybody here seems genuinely nice. This is my attempt to keep in touch with my friends from all over.

falling down and other random thoughts

So, I am sitting here with my husband, having a margarita and we decide we need to talk to our friend Bruce. So, as Mike is talking with him, he props his feet up on the arm of my chair and promptly falls over. At this point, I am laughing so hard I can hardly breathe. He then promptly calls me a mean bitch and I laugh harder.

Earlier tonight I talked with my brother. He and his partner are so awesome. They are two people that I really miss from Kansas City. As we get older, we seem to grow closer. The best part of our relationship is that he has become closer with Lu, our son. They have their own special jokes and have come to really care for each other. When we were younger we seemed to fight all the time. I think we were just trying to figure out our way in this world and once we were living on our own, we realized we could both fit in it and work together. He has become somone that I completely respect and admire. I also believe that Jeff makes him a better person. I am glad that they are both a part of my life. I would not have as much laughter in my life if they were not a part of it.

Back to my husband on the floor.....man, that was just funny. It was a complete Charlie Brown collapse...after that description you can picture this 'swan dive' to the floor. I needed a laugh and it seems everytime I do my husband is either there to provide it or point out something that makes me laugh.

Everytime I am asked to stand up at a wedding and give a toast, I always have one thing to bestow on people. (look out this is going to get deep) I always wish people laughter. Happiness comes and goes (as you look at your spouse and what was once cute now annoys the crap out of you) but laughter between two people always bring you back to the reason you fell in love with them. When things are rough and things are not going well, always fine something that makes you giggle. It always works for me.

I am going to sign off - good night all.

Take care
Love and kisses from Austin!

PS My husband just called me a mean bitch again after seeing my blog. I once again laughed
