Life is so Busy!

It has been a while since I have written much. You see we have been a bit stretched thin. My grandfather passed away October 9th and things just kind of got crazy for us from that moment on. We had my grandfathers viewing two days later followed by his funeral the following day. We had family come in from all over the Texas area. Then we packed our house up all weekend long. The following Wednesday we went to Galveston with my inlaws for four days. It was really nice to get away and leave all the stress of moving and my grandfather dieing behind us. We had a very nice time,the weather was great the whole time we were there.

We did several things while we were there. We took the kids to Moody Gardens twice, once to see the rainforest and then to the aquarium. We road a harbor boat and toured the Elisa museum. We rode the ferry and got to watch all the dolphins. We visited Seawolf park and watched the fishermen catch a huge fish. One of the guys even let my father in law reel on in.

We loved the getaway and we were not ready to come back to reality. We came home on Saturday tired and a little sunburned. Then we had to kick our packing into overdrive because we were scheduled to close on Friday. Are we the only people that thinks it is a good idea to go out of town the week before you move? On Tuesday we got a phone call from our realtor that they were moving the closing day to Thursday. So we closed on Thursday, painted all the bedrooms on Friday(my mom and dad helped so much) and we moved all of our stuff Saturday and Sunday. After we got most of the boxes emptied it was Thanksgiving. Before we could turn around it was Christmas time. I finally feel like things have settled down and we have a good routine going. We are loving our new house and the fact everyone has their own bedroom. My kids can't wait till summer because we have a pool!
