We've been in H-town longer then
planned. It's been so nice and comfortable here, we're not really in
a hurry to move on, but I'm sure Bryce and Andrea don't want us to

our seemingly never-... Read more >

It's Sunday and we go to
the lake - Lake Conroe to be precise, where one of Bryce's co-workers

stupid enough ... Read more >
