Sometime last year, when I was really struggling with living in Texas, I was talking on the phone with my Dad. I don't think he knew just how much I was struggling, but in passing he gave me some advice that has stayed with me and proven to be a tremendous gift. In his own words he reminded me that our time in Texas would come and go. How long it would be we didn't know, but in the meantime, go and experience all that San Antonio has to offer. See everything you can see and do everything you can do. And when our time does come to leave we can do so with that feeling that we really lived and loved life there, leaving nothing behind undone.
And so here's one of those experiences that is only to be found living in Texas. We left at 7:30 am on Saturday and drove over an hour away to Enchanted Rock. It was absolutely gorgeous, Texas-style gorgeous, which did take some time getting used to when we first moved here. I relished every moment being with Jared and the girls, away from "life," from city life, busy life, noisy life. We enjoyed a beautiful day together.
Looks like a fun day!! I like that little patch of grass amongst all the rocks, as well as your dads advice. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the little patch of green among the rock! We had the Elders over for dinner last week and one of them is from Kaysville and knows Jason...said they use to hang out a little together....such a small world. :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you Kristen! We really should discover what is to see around us, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm debating whether that rock is really enchanted.
