I keep looking for happiness.

Everyday I think to myself, "what would make me happy?" I plan the next hour, day, week, month and year and I have found that all of that is for nothing because I do not live for now. I should stop trying to find what makes life worth living and just realize that I am living the life worth living. I have a family that loves me and supports me through everything. Sometimes we fight and make each other angry but at the end of the day we love each other. I have a new set of family thanks to being married and they are a wonderful addition to my life. I have a set of friends (Nikki L., Nakita, Robbi, Chrissy, Kristen and Krysta) who have all helped me find myself and understand who I am and it is really awesome that a few of these people look up to me! Last but not least I have my husband who has made my life the brightest it has ever been. He has made me a better person and given me reason to be. Life is wonderful and I am on a new path of living my life to the fullest.

With all of that said, our trip to Lake McConaughy was so much fun. It started out awful, we got VERY stuck in the sand and an old farmer tow guy had to pull us out but we set up camp after a big storm and had a great night sleep. The next day we got to take out the jet ski and boy was that fun! The dogs got to swim and by the end of Sunday we were all worn out! Here are some pictures.

Buddy sleeps in the weirdest positions.

We are stuck in the sand.

This is the old farmer tow guy that saved us and his tractor.

The most romantic tractor ride in history.

His front is laying down but his back legs are up.

You can't see it too well here but Jack is on the back of the jet ski. He loved it!

Colorado sunsets are the best!

The Beagle Out Back

The beagle out back barks and barks, begging to be let in as the summer day wares on. The day is not particularly hot but his friends are all inside and he wanted to join him. He barked his way into annoying everyone in the neighborhood including the magical fairy that lived in the rose bush. The magical fairy had a severe headache this day and did not have patience for the barking beagle. So the fairy fluttered over to the beagle and asked, “Mr. Beagle, why do you insist on barking even though your people are ignoring you?”

“I WANT IN! I WANT IN!” barked the beagle.

“Fine!” huffed the fairy and with that she shot fairy dust at the beagle's throat, ceasing his barking right then and there.

The silence was beautiful and the fairy went about her business in peace. After a while she went back to the beagle to check on him.

“Now Mr. Beagle, are you done being obnoxious?” the beagle shook his head in agreement, “good, you may have your voice back and I will make your people let you in.” the fairy shot fairy dust back at the beagle's throat then shot fairy dust at his owner, causing her to let the beagle in. All was well in the neighborhood.

King Scott and the Evil Sand Trapper

King Scott was on a mission to slay the evil sand trapper but he was in over his head. He had a family to protect and the evil sand trapper was putting all of them in danger. King Scott had his trusty sword and with the help of his charming brother-in-law, Christian the Knight, they built a great wooden bridge to help King Scott's beautiful queen and her hounds to safety. The bridge was unstable and very long but King Scott carried Queen Javaneh to the bridge and told Christian the Knight to go across with her. Slowly the group crossed the dangerous bridge as King Scott waged war on the evil sand trapper. The battle was fierce, King Scott was blasted with sand but pure goodness prevailed and King Scott took the final blow to slay the beast. Rushing over the bridge, King Scott reunited with his family. Everyone cheered and praised the glorious King Scott for saving the day!
