I took a recent vow to myself to FORCE my wife and I to enjoy more experiences together. Anyone who knows us knows that we have accumulated our fair share of "stuff".This would.t be a concern of mine but for decisions to pass on the college experience of leaving the metroplex, the decision to pass on a long and rewarding search to find our first new house instead building so quickly, and our inability to participate in any impromptu trips. All of these experiences were replaced by nice TV's, clothes etc. Well I had an epiphany! I suddenly realized that those things make for crappy framed pictures and we have none on our walls. So I decided as a way to get our feet wet we would start first with my new hobby of lawn maintenance and landscaping. Scoping Calloway's and Hardware stores for winter flowers and pots we began to get a small education in what we needed and what we need to know about successfully changing our landscaping. Next on my list was a tour of the Dallas Cowboys new stadium. The tour comes with a picture and something we can look back on doing together. That activity is pending as is a free trip we won for letting an EZ Water rep invade my home and hold Allyson and I hostage for over 2 hours (long story). Let's see how this goes because are walls are looking empty and this TV only holds other peoples experiences. I need my own reality reel. To be continued...
