Friends in humid places
I had totally planned to start posting a picture a day (or as close to it as I can get) starting on the 1st. Except, on the 1st, Rex and I went to Houston to see friends, and managed to go completely laptop free, except for the time we spent poking around in the Apple Store. Anyway, I'm not going to scrap the whole plan just because I missed the first two days.
Also, in an effort to get myself to start pulling out the camera more often again and to take and think about subjects other than holidays and kids, I'm going to attempt Project 365. I have managed to take pictures the last two days, although it was a near thing, getting them done on the right day. I'm not sure I'm going to post every picture of every day anywhere, but I suspect a lot of them will make it to this blog.
Our trip to Houston was wonderful. It was more time in the car than I prefer, but without kids in the car we could talk and read and not have to listen to Cars rolling in the back seat. We also ended up coming home many, many hours later than planned, because we were enjoying a fun dinner with friends that none of us wanted to end. Come to think of it, we stayed up later than planned on Tuesday, talking with another set of friends. I really miss friends. I mean, I miss those people specifically, but I also miss having people around to go out to dinner with, or stay in and have pizza with, just in general. One of the nice things about both of these couples is that we could have had our girls with us, and although we would have had to cut our time short, we would have had just as much fun.
It's rather sad that we've been in Dallas for over a year now, and haven't found anything close.

I'm doing the photo project also. Good luck to you!
I know what you mean about good friends, we moved a few hours away from ours in Dallas a few years ago and haven't found anyone that we really want to spend time with in our new town. Even though my husband and I enjoy each other's company, it's nice to have other people over every once in a while.

It's a shame you said "from Dallas" instead of "to Dallas." I don't know why it's so hard to make friends...I think maybe people are already so busy, they just don't feel the need to make time for new people. I can't really blame them, but it's hard to squeeze in.
