This past weekend Seth and I were able to have another mini vacay and housesit for some of our friends. Seth and my favorite part was just watching the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening (along with a cup of Joe in the morning and a cup of tea in the evening!). Here are a few pictures-I hope you guys don't get tired of these pictures-I love having my camera handy when we get in the car because I know I am going to see something beautiful. These pictures are pretty neat-but mind you my friends this doesn't even come CLOSE to doing the actual sight justice.

Beautiful sunrise.

Seth and I are doing great. He is staying very busy with schoolwork and his research and trying to get as much knocked out as he can. Luckily he has spring break next week and can focus entirely on his research and thesis and not have to deal with classes (assignments and readings). We are hoping he can get ahead with everything during the break. We will definitely be those boring people who are staying home to work work work instead of going out playing and sightseeing during SpRiNg BrEaK. BUMMER.
We've done pretty well with not getting homesick very often. We are able to skype-email-phone chitchat with most of our family and friends which helps a load. Unfortunately this week has been a homesick week-especially for me. Nothing really has trigged this feeling-it has just shown itself at the doorstep and I guess I just let it invite itself in. No blubbering going on-just watery eyes every so often-there will definitely more skypage going on in our near future :). So in honor of my sadness I just want to say:
-I miss sitting on the porch talking with my Daddy.
-I miss ol Vic and her changing the TV station I am watching to The Soap
-I miss touching my family-hugs-and those weird sideway cheek kisses that I do with my parents.
-I miss ol Troupe and his gnawing on my extremities. I miss his excitement when I'd come home (Seth doesn't bark-run around in circles fast-or pee himself when he sees me!)
-I miss waking Eason up in the mornings :)-and beating him up during the day (he couldn't ever take me!)
Blah Blah Blah-no more sadness on here. You guys know me-I just had to drag you all down with me :). I have a wonderful husband who says he is going to take me out on a get prettied up date and make me feel better. And I'll remember not to blog when I'm homesick again.
On a happier note-we have another weekend booked with visitors! Our friends Tanner and Catherine are coming out for a long weekend in May :). Yippee!
There will definitely a more upbeat cheerful blog in my near future!
The Cook's :).
