Leaves, Sticks, Acorns...Oh My!

Well, I made the move to mom's house and things are going great. It's been about two weeks I think, and we have had a great time. Having said that, I don't know if I've ever seen so many leaves, sticks, and acorns in my life! We have spent the last three weekends raking leaves, trimming trees and shrubs, and raking acorns up too. It's been fun, but I'm tired nonetheless. Wally really enjoys being out and about in the backyard and gets some great exercise. It helps us wear him down so he's a little calmer at night. If you know Wally, you know that the two words Wally and calm usually don't go together. But, it's fun.

I had the chance to meet a really great guy today for a blind brunch date. I decided to try the Match.Com approach and see what can happen. After all, Ashley, my friend from summers in New York, is marrying her fiance whom she met off Match.Com too. Why not. Not much to lose. So, I met a really nice guy today. He's new to town and recently moved here from Houston. He took me to The Chalkboard, a nice restaurant in downtown Tulsa. It was nice to have a good conversation over a good meal with a new person in my life. He's a very respectful and kind gentleman. It was nice to have a good meeting! We'll see what happens. If nothing else, I've made a new friend!

Next weekend is Kate's birthday weekend, Robert's birthday weekend, and Easter weekend...all in three days! Kate will be 2 on the 29th of April. Robert will have his birthday on the 18th, and Easter is on Sunday. I'm excited about having them here. I haven't seen them for a few months. They will be here in April and I might go down sometime in May to visit them in Texas! I have to figure out if Kate and I will have our pictures taken in May or if we should wait a little while...I don't know! We will see.

Hope all is well with everyone. Things are going well here and everything seems to be moving along smoothly. Take care.

Always,
Emily
