Happy and Sad

As you know, I'm really looking forward to my yoga teacher training in Costa Rica! But, I'm also sad that I'll be spending so much time away from Rob. It's different when the military sends him away - this time I've elected to go! So it is with equal parts excitement and gloom that I start packing.

Another slightly dismaying aspect of my trip is the flight. I'm flying standby because I married into not only a wonderful family, but one that provides me with very inexpensive standby flights to indulge my travel fancy. Seriously, THANK YOU!! Anyway, I have to be in San Jose by 8am on the 14th to catch the bus to the training. Unfortunately, the flights on the 13th, 12th, 11th, and even a little on the 10th are booked. There's a chance someone may miss their flight, but in order to have a better chance of making it to Costa Rica on time, I've changed my departure date to the 9th. Happy to be able to fly standby, sad to have to leave early. Ah, lament to leave Rob sooner, but hooray to spend some time in San Jose to tour! Equally sad and happy.


On another note, the Moores visited last weekend and we had a great time touring Abilene, discovering a great noodle place, and eating at Perini Ranch. It's the third best steakhouse in Texas, according to Texas Monthly, and a little ways outside Abilene. It probably deserves its own post because it is very very good!

Here's my new decor addition - I finally figured out a good way to hang the beautiful piece of driftwood Rob and I picked up on the coast in Connecticut on our New Hampshire-to-Florida Subaru Outback drive. Pretty, huh? And a great reminder that home is where you make it!
