I'm semi-settled in Dallas. By settled, I mean not at all settled. It's a subtle nuance, but I guess it's all the same. I'm crashing on Lee's floor, on a sweet air mattress gladly loaned from Buddha and Becca. Now, this isn't really the life I dreamt of whilst graduating, but it's alright. Lee and I have had a good time, enjoyed nightly beers, and laughed ourselves silly while watching two episodes of America's Funniest Home Videos every single night.
I'm part-living out of my car, part-living at lee's apartment.
And.... I'm part-tired of living out of a suitcase as I've done for the past month.
With the UHaul leaving home this am brings to a close a Chapter in our lives - children in college one or more since 1991. I guess we can now proclaim that we are empty nesters, except we have the Granddog Lainie. The young Chef moves to the bright lights of the city and leaves Lubbock in his rear view mirror. But, we have a reminder of his days here - the sparkle in the Granddog's eyes, and the lonely Lubbock Hi Tennis Letter Jacket that hangs in an empty closet.
We will miss you, make us proud, and God's speed.......Mom and Dad
