Austin

Beth, Lincoln, Alex and I just got back from a 5 day trip to Austin. We went down for a baptism. It was our first big trip together and I think a great time was had by all. It was the first time on a plane for Lincoln and Alex. They got their pilot wings when we got off the first flight so they are now officially "in the club". While we were there we got to spend a lot of time outside. The temperatures were in the 90s the entire time we were there which was ideal. We spent some time at a huge park throwing the football around (one of my favorite things to do) and climbing rocks. We got to spend an afternoon at a resort pool (another one of my favorite things) swimming and lounging by the pool. One evening we went to a place called the Oasis which overlooks Lake Travis for dinner. What a beautiful place. I definitely want to go back there and watch a sunset. On Memorial Day we packed the car with 7 people and drove to the outlet mall and did some shopping (yes another favorite thing). That evening we went to a local lake and fed the ducks and just relaxed. Come to think of I got to spend the entire trip doing my favorite things with 3 people that I love being with. What a great trip!

I honestly can't believe how fast the trip went. Seems like a reoccurring trend for TheGov. I guess time really does fly when you are having fun...

I have said it before and I'll say it again. Kiss someone you love today and tell them you care. Trust me on this one.

Time Flies

Time really flies when you are having fun. Where on earth did the last month go? All of my stuff finally arrived at TheGov's New Mansion this week. What a relief! I had reached the end of my tolerance for sleeping on an air mattress. Now I have to get use to sleeping in a real bed again. The new place is pretty cool. It's a little bit like living in a hotel. Yes I still haven't pulled the plug on buying a house. Maybe one of these days I will get it in my head that I can actually buy a house and stay in one place for more than a year. I park in an underground parking garage with a car wash in it. I have an indoor/outdoor pool area with a hot tub a few steps from my door. There is a sauna a few steps from my door. And here is the reason I feel like I live in a hotel - I have a snack machine and a soda machine a few steps from my door.

It's been quite a lot of fun. Beth, Lincoln and Alex have been over on the weekends a few times to hang out at the hotel with me and the time always seems to fly by so quickly. I wish things would slow down but I know that they won't. It looks like the summer is going to be a great one for TheGov. I'll keep you all posted.

I hope everyone is well!

TheGov, out
