Memphis and Hot Springs

One last thing till I’m caught up.

This summer I had the great pleasure and opportunity to date a fantastic girl. My cousin introduced me to Shannon around April and invited us to go on a double date with her and her husband. It was a blind date and I usually have a rule against that but I’m glad we both agreed to go. Long story short, we hit it off and before I knew it my summer was fully set with fun dates, great conversation, and a true caring friend to talk with, laugh with and just all around chill with. It wasn't without its ups and downs but looking back……I couldn’t have picked a better girl to spend the summer with. You can tell from the tense of this post that we are no longer dating and I won’t go into the reasons why. I will say that we are still friends and that life can be a bit confusing, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Good, bad, or indifferent the relationships we have during our lives are what make life interesting. The following is just one great memory from this summer. I’m not happy this one didn't work out but it’s a good example of the point I'm trying to make.

I had to go to Huntsville Alabama in September for work and Shannon drove out to meet me and drive back to Texas. She’s great like that and really has an adventurous spirit. We decided to go back through Memphis and Hot Springs to check out the local scenery. We ate BBQ in Memphis and spent the next day at Hot Springs National Park. Cant tell you what a great time we had and I’m so glad to be able to share these pics with you.
