it's official....

we are making the move back to west texas, the 806, the caprock,
red raider country, the LBK or more accurately the LBB.


after our most recent trip, we decided we just couldn't take it anymore. we need the big west texas sky, where you can see the storms rollin' in. we need rosa's, chances R and the drive-in. we need dust storms and amazing sunsets. we need 2 local vineyards and cafe j's.  we need a DQ that is in walking distance and OPEN. we need saver's and as much as i hate to admit it....chrome. we need date nights and star gazing. MC needs the science spectrum, joyland and the 'big boy' swing in marmee and grandad's backyard. we need the mountains (ruidoso is only 4 hours away) and midland (our all-inclusive resort is only 2 hours away). we need an Academy that actually sells texas tech essentials. we need tailgates, tumbleweeds and the carol of lights.
 but mostly, we need family.

big skies
glorious!
1st blizzard...he wanted butterfinger but pops said he would disown him.

hugs and kisses~m, s, mc, b, b, m, t, b, m, n, t and a
