Addendum

Megan informed me this morning that it had been “forever” since my past post. Which is not really true but whatever. As I am sure you all have read, Megan and I had a wonderful weekend in and around Abilene. Just a few items to note from Megan’s include in her wonderful account of the trip.

Believe it or not Megan had redneck in her. Megan may seem classy and sophisticated but take her somewhere there are games to play with tickets and it all comes back to her. Not only did we blow 20 bucks at this type place Megan would not let me play a game unless it gave out tickets! If there was any way to cheat and get more tickets Megan was doing it. For example: Standing by the ski-ball on the end to drop your ball into the 1,000,000 points hole. Yeah, she was that person you see cheating and you want to do it yourself but think you will get caught. What can I say I had a fun doing it with her. And the only reason that Megan gave our tickets to the kid was because there were not airheads, blowpops, or spider rings at the prize booth! All in all it was a great time and worth every penny.

Megan did do the super sweet thing for me by cleaning my whole apartment. (to her standards) What she failed to tell you is that I had already pre-cleaned it before she got there. But my cleaning job was not up to Megan’s unreasonable high standards. I just hate to think if she had seen the place before I cleaned it…. When I got home Friday Megan had already cleaned the whole place. She had to go buy at least 15-20 self timer air fresheners along with at least 10 of the manual jobs. I think I have a wonder natural odor but Megan begs to differ. She calls it my “Skanky’ Stank”. Agree to disagree right?


During out trip to Albany, TX Megan wrote about buying a book. She failed to tell you this….. Megan is a sucker for children’s books. She loves them and thinks she has to buy them all the time. She probably has just as many or more than any of my sisters who have avg 2.75 children. (come on Rachel you are bring the average down!) While browsing the local book store in Albany, Megan came across the book Goodnight Cowboy it’s just like the book Goodnight Moon but with a cowboy. Just a little 15 page hardback children’s book. Megan wanted to buy the book, so me being the 2007, 2008 and 2009 winner of the World’s Greatest Boyfriend Award, I told Megan I would buy the book for her. As the woman rang up the book I saw that the amount I owed an unbelievable $17.76!! I turned and looked at Megan and she had a look on her face that said “Please don’t say anything. Please just pay the woman and we can leave” So to keep my streak alive I handed over the cash and we were on our way. Under different circumstances I would have kindly told the woman that I would not buy that book at that unreasonable price. At least now we have a bit of Albany to keep with us forever.

All in all we had a wonderful weekend. Megan’s favorite thing about the whole weekend was Sharon’s BBQ and Taco Beuno. We ate at both them twice!

Now that my fun weekend is over I have to wait 3 more weeks before I get to have any fun again. Lucky for me I made it through one weekend already. Only 2 more to go!

This past weekend I went to the Buffalo Gap Flea Market. I will say that they come out of the wood works for this event. I saw at least two women in a bikini top walking around and more than I care to count kids running around in just a diaper. Other than that I did not I really did not do anything worth writing about.

Looking forward now to Max’s wedding on Aug. 8. ( I will be home the 7th)

Work has been much better staying busy putting together an inventory system to manage valves, instrumentation, and large equipment. Exciting I know.
I miss you all and hope to see everyone soon!
