The 12 Project ::: Month 3
Filed under: The 12 Project, Travels
Photo credit: Mike Hedge / Jumping Book
Happenings in Month 3:
We are happily settled at Hill Shade RV Park in Texas…and enjoying every minute. Just tonight I was thinking how much I will miss the peacefulness of the countryside when we leave here. I love watching the cows graze just a few feet away from the RV as I read in my hammock chair. It’s quite lovely.
We are far away from things we used to take for granted…coffee shops, Thai food, and kale. 
The nearest big city is Austin (or San Antonio)..we’re about an hour from each. We are getting more accustomed to the drive..although sometimes I do wish we were a BIT closer.
We have been hanging out with some amazing families here. Read about them in detail over at Happy Janssens. I haven’t blogged about Mike Hedge yet, but will soon. He is the fabulous photographer (and just a super fun person in general) who took the “Jump Shot” above. He is on a cross-country tour right now taking photos for his “Jumping Book“. Be sure to check it out! We met Mike through Tiffani….I love the intermingling of friendships on the road.
I blogged about starting to run again…and that has been a blast. I’m having such run gallivanting around the countryside. I feel more energized already and I’m sleeping better. I’m LOVING the FiveFingers too. I never want to put on normal shoes anymore…they are quite addicting. I’m reading Born To Run
Matt has been keeping busy finding RV’s for people, doing some projects at the RV park, taking care of the girls when I’m working, and just being an amazing husband and daddy in general.
Bella has had a great month and is loving playing with the kids here at Hill Shade. Her birthday is in 2 days, so we are gearing up for that.
Lucy is working on her 6th tooth now! She has 3 on the top and 2 on the bottom. She changes EVERY day. It’s such a blessing to watch her interact with Bella…they actually “play” with each other now and it’s a hoot. Her little personality is so vibrant.
My parents are here right now and that has been super fun. I love my family. Lots of photos coming soon.
We are getting excited to head back to the midwest for the summer…so much to love there.

I love the picture! I’ve never had a desire to go to Texas, but after reading about your time there, I want to visit there sometime!

I love this picture! You have such a lovely family. Glad to hear you like the fivefinger sgies, too. I’ve been considering a pair for a while, but hadn’t heard any reviews on them. I’ll have to get a pair to use once I get the go ahead from my midwife to start running again.

See…this is why I love your blog (: Just the photo alone makes me smile! What a happy moment for the girls to reflect back on in their older years. There are just some photos that bring a happy jump to the heart and it looks like this photo might be one those (:
Kudos on your running adventure. I used to run in college…never thought I would enjoy it, but it was quite relaxing. Don’t believe I’ll take it up again any time soon…maybe rollerblading first, then running (:

I love this photo!! I am also following Tara’s lead and have been participating in this project since February.
I had to let you know that I started to read “Born to Run” recently after reading your post and I absolutely LOVE it.
I have been a runner for years – just a few miles every other day or so – but this book has really inspired me and is making me enjoy it more than ever!
The claim that running barefoot is really the best way originally sounded crazy, but after reading this book, it now makes perfect sense!
I wondered – are you running with your Five Fingers? If so, I would love to hear feedback! I think my days of buying the best most cushioned running shoes are over! Not sure I will be going barefoot (gravel roads!), but definitely am adjusting my form!
Thanks!

Oops – forget my question regarding the Five Fingers- I just read your previous post! Sorry!

You guys are so blessed. I just love that part of Texas. I went to school in San Marcos(very close to where you are). Ya’ll should check out that and New braunfels. Great towns. Oh and Gruene too. You are definitely in the prettiest part of the state. Natural Bridge caverns is a great thing to see too.

I must show some thanks to this writer for rescuing me from this type of scenario. Because of looking through the search engines and obtaining proposals that were not pleasant, I figured my entire life was over. Living devoid of the strategies to the issues you’ve resolved by means of your good blog post is a serious case, as well as ones which could have in a wrong way affected my career if I had not discovered your web blog. Your primary knowledge and kindness in taking care of the whole lot was useful. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t encountered such a thing like this. It’s possible to now look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time very much for this skilled and sensible guide. I won’t hesitate to suggest your web sites to any individual who will need direction about this area.
