Our five year adventure in Doha, Qatarended June 1, 2012, but the memories will always remain. It's back to Texas where I have decided...Qatar isn't cornering the market on "quirky", as I once believed. Thanks for opening my eyes to the world,Doha!
So, what the heck have I been up to, you ask? One full week with not even offering a pitiful morsel on the blog...lashes for me. Well, besides practicing on my photoshop addiction, I've been road trekking, again. I took a trip to Nacogdoches to see Kayla for no other reason than just wanting to see her smiling face. From there it was on to the old home front for reunions with my old gal pals from high school and my old, but not so long ago co-workers. I'll just say this about both gatherings. I had entirely too much fun within a very short period of time and my body let me know it. I was exhausted from laughter and straining my brain trying to remember moments in time from my high school years. "We're the best from here to heaven, Senior Class of '77." Does that give you any indication of how much memory loss that could have occurred since then? Before it was over, however, we ended up remembering more than we wanted to. Honestly, if there is such a thing as too much fun, it was definitely accomplished over the weekend. Ciao!

There's nothing like the kids playing out in the yard on a nice summer day to make a mom smile. I think there is something about those Knox/Trahan genes that makes us not want to grow up. As my dad often says, "The acorns don't fall far from the tree."
Uhhhh, almost?

We did our best to make Kayla's teeny tiny temporary residence as cozy as possible as she awaits her permanent hall director housing assignment at Stephen F. Austin within the next month. We decided to not push our luck and start hanging pictures and what not on the walls for such a short period of time. We did ending up using two small tacks, hoping they'll somehow forgive us.
While the rest of my summer crew is off frolicking and camping at Pedernales Falls, Kayla and I have packed up the U-Haul and are ready to pull out to head to her new digs. Mutt and Jeff (yes, that would be us) were unbelievably (and comically) able to get Kayla's mattress and box springs from her second story apartment to the truck. Thanks for nothing, No Show Ryan...there will be no dancing from us at your wedding. The moving gods were looking over us as we put plan B, the banister slide maneuver, into play. Phew, it was tricky, but we pulled it off. After getting it all packed up, we drew straws to see who's good fortune it would be to drive the U-Haul for the move. Lady Luck deemed Kayla the winner. Well, it didn't exactly go down like that. It was more like, "Not no, but HELL NO, will I be driving a moving truck anywhere, much less Naconowhere!". Enough said. Drive on, K.K., Nacogdoches is that way.
"I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, yeah. The girl that's driving me mad Is going away."
