We're here!

Okay, so we've been here for awhile, I just haven't had the internet so some of this is old news.

We made it, but not without a few hiccups.

Hiccups in kinda-sorta an understatement.

In short, we hired the lamest movers EVER who haven't delivered our stuff yet.

We have become the very needy neighbors.

That's okay though. I guess it's a good way to force yourself to meet people.

Besides not having our stuff, we are loving it so far.

We love our house, our neighborhood and our neighbors.

It's wicked hot so we've been spending everyday at the pool which the kids aren't complaining about.

School starts Monday and wow- things are different here.

7:50-3:15

one recess

no early out

ouch.

Cam's schedule is dreamy. Literally. The kids and I have to wake from our dreams and drive him to work early early in the morning since we only have one car. But then he gets home around 2:00. And then we go to the beach. Or the pool. Or shopping. Or whatever else we feel like.  

I think I'm gonna like it here.

 This is our sweet master room set-up. Really though, this air mattress is the next best thing to a bed. It belongs to our neighbors and I don't think I want to give it back.

 Kara's room. She's decided to sleep in her closet for the time being.

Having no stuff means lots of room to run around and raise some serious ruckus.

I think Colby might say this is his favorite thing about Texas. It's in our backyard and everyday, he waters it so that it will grow coconuts. He says he doesn't even like coconuts.

 And these pictures don't do it justice but our grass was SO long when we moved in. Most of the first thing out of several of our neighbor's mouths was the name and number of their lawn guy.

 This also doesn't do justice to the wasps that are bread here in Texas. OH MY GOSH. They are seriously twice the size as Utah wasps and ten times eviler. Yes, evil-er. This is the nesty nest that adorned our porch. I'm scared.

More to come!

HOUSTON OR BUST!

This is the big week.

The week we take off for our new adventure.

So many emotions...

We will be entering the very depths of heat, so wish us luck!

Cameron gets to spend his weekends at home instead of a hotel room- yay!

Our lives just got a little more crazy...and predictable. Wow- we haven't experience that in a really long time.

We've never felt so settled, so loved, so comfortable. This will be difficult to leave.

We've never felt so hopeful, so elated, and so energetic about our future.

We will miss everyone greatly. I try not to think about not being close to our family. I'm sure this reality will hit me like a freight train in no-time.

Thank goodness for flight benefits and knowing that our family and friends are a short 3 hour trip away.

And thank goodness for blogs and facebook. Yes, facebook. A move to Houston just might be enough to get me to re-join...and to start updating my blog again.

Love you all!

Oh and I got my braces off! To say that I am LOVING it is a gross understatement.
