the country
well we're all settled in mississippi now. we got our new house, and some furniture and my wife's sister is staying with us, too. and it's kind of cool, cause she's having a baby next week probably cause that's when she's due. a little family under one roof, with our kitten, sodapop, and our puppy, machette. we got a white picket fence and a shed in the backyard. yellow flowers and a back porch for shrimp boilin'.
i started writing music again, playing guitar, what little i can, mostly singing and yelling at the top of my lungs til my fingers hurt and i'm dripping with sweat. learning to be a better husband is easier when you got such a good wife lookin' out for ya. she's perfect i think sometimes to myself. the only thing that's sucked lately is i got laid off from work, but i prayed about it and it's for the best i think, the job wasn't for me or so my ol' boss told me. i've filled out some aps and am waiting to see what the people do. calling for jobs is kinda wierd ya know.
i pray sometimes that i'll be a good enough provider, look out for my wife and animals and the house and now my sister. anyways, it's hard to be this real sometimes, but easier in a way then just kickin' around ya know. i miss tennessee something awful sometimes, but i love it here more and more everyday - the fishing, the family, shelly's volleyball games every week, the gulf of mexico, smokin on the porch everyday and drinking the beers to go with it, and the country. God i love the country.
i think we're gonna go out to ship island this weekend, where this ol' civil war fort is and all these shipwrecks, too. man, i hope i don't get too far behind with what i want to do, with my book and the music and the Lord's work. so here i go, have a good ol' one for me all right.
