Fishing trips...

We've been doing lots of fishing lately. We have found a few good places near the lake that we really like going too. The first place we found on the rocks by the tubes (where water shoots out). It took me awhile to get down all the rocks, but once I found a nice flat one, I got plenty of sun. (Because to be honest - the reason I go fishing is to lay out.) Oh! And Brad bought a new truck and the first time I rode in it, I managed to spill my pop all over the floor. Classic.

Brad's brothers even came down on a Sunday with their mom and we all went out fishing. First we tried the above little creek, but the bugs were so bad.

So we headed to the tubes and they actually caught some fish there!

flickr friday: me :)

Today's flickr friday spotlight is me :). We went to a flea market & carnival last weekend and I wanted to share some of my pictures. We didn't ride any of the fun rides, but we did eat some really good cajun fried pickles and a funnel cake. Yum! My snowcone was huge, but not any good. At the flea market, I got some cheap books and Brad bought a golf club...for some reason. Check out my flickr for more.

Small Town, Part 1

I am starting a new series of posts titled: small town adventures. It has been an adjustment going from Kansas City (roughly 450,000 population) to rural Kansas (roughly 500 population)...and yes you just read that right. Now, it isn't a far stretch, I grew up in a town of about 2,800 people...but it is still a big difference. Some questions that I have received from family and friends:

Where is this town?

What is there to do?

How long will it take me to get there?

How did Brad talk you into this?

Where is this town?

Is there a grocery store? 

Are you happy?

Where is this town?

That has been the just of it so far. And yes, there is a grocery store - and a cafe, a bar, a post office, 2 gas stations, a bank and a city hall. There are some small shops too, but I have yet to venture to them yet. The reason we moved was because he took on a new job and we have yet to regret his decision. The truth is, I love our house and our life right now and this crazy little town. And I am the happiest that I have been in a long, long time.

So keep checking back for my new series of posts, small town adventures.
