cali recap & the el paso saddleblanket

well the trip to cali was awesome. i really enjoyed seeing where chrissy grew up and we did lots of fun stuff together. it was also really nice being with chrissy 24-7 for almost two weeks. supa good times. i got some fun stuff...picked up some fun niners stuff...including a michael crabtree jersey. i enjoyed seeing some northern California beaches and the naval postgraduate school in monterey. then yosemite was amazing. and i also really liked seeing san francisco...and enjoyed some clam chowder in a sourdough bowl. then we had a good time seeing our good friends the cannons in phoenix on the way home. so it was a bit of a bummer having to hit the road and come home. after what seemed like forever on i-10, i noticed some billboards outside of el paso advertising a store called the el paso saddleblanket. it looked kinda cool and they sold cowhide rugs...which chrissy has been seeking for some time now. so we decided to pull over and check it out. upon entering and passing all the stuffed rattlesnakes, i found two acres of cool southwestern and Texas stuff, as well as some Mexican imports...it was a cool place. but something really caught my eyes and has brought much joy into my life. a big ol set of longhorns! i am confident i will cherish them forever.





any of y'all actually get all that?
