Perhaps the most unnerving part about taking a walk after the sun goes down is the fact that the sky doesn't look at all the same. The big dipper is no longer near the center of the sky. Orion's belt sits far too low on the horizon and Tanner tells me that it's harder to find the little dipper. But I'm not sure about that because even in Oregon I was always asking people, "where is it?" I suspect the little dipper is a myth or a figment of the rest of the worlds imagination.
The weather has been amazing the last few days. It's been 84 during the afternoons and cools off in the evenings which makes for perfect walking weather. We discovered this walkway that wends its way over Wolf Pen Creek, and it's only a short walk from where we live. Restaraunts and little boutiques are scattered along the way, so it's a very pleasant way to spend a few hours in the evening. I think the one thing that I missed most about Portland was the River Walk, and now we've found one to replace it. The path is very wide, so Kate rides her bike in relative safety when we go there.
Spring is definitly upon us down here in Texas. It looks like this Easter weekend is going to be bright and sunny. I believe this will be the first Easter that I've celebrated in the warmth though my mom might say that I had a few warm Easters in Hawaii. I just can't remember them. We decided not to do the Easter services this time around. Tanner is working doubles all weekend long, plus he has the graveyard shift at his other job. I wonder when he's going to find time to sleep, but he insists that he can make through till Monday. I think I've married a crazy man, but then I guess most of you already knew that.
