So for the longest time, we have been trying to decide what we want to do with ourselves. (in a nutshell!) After graduating college, Kevin got a job in Houston, Brandy followed, we bought a house, had Kaleb, then got to thinking more long term. Where do we want to raise our family? We loved our house, neighborhood, and family close by, but something was missing. We needed to live somewhere we could raise a family. The elementary around the corner was wonderful, but the middle and high schools...not so much! Still not completely sure what we were doing, but knowing we had to do something... we put our house up for sale. The same day... 3 hours on the market...we got an offer for asking price. Done! We were completely shocked! Not wanting to make a spontaneous purchase and risk buyers remorse, we decided to rent for one year to give ourselves more time to figure things out. The year flew by... There were lots of factors to consider when deciding where we wanted to settle down. Jobs, schools, housing, etc. Long story short...we've always wanted to live on the water and love Lake Granbury when we visit. We decided to make the move in hopes of getting our waterfront property someday. So on August 20th, the kids and I loaded up my car and took off on a new adventure in our lives. Here's Miss. Bella helping me pack!
Mommy and Kaleb working hard... in our matching Dallas Cowboy's shirts!
Daddy came home to help us load up and see us off. So long Houston. :( Although it was a decision we thought long and hard over, we knew it would be hard.
In order to ease the transition and give us some time to get acquainted with the area better, the Bernat's offered to let us stay with them for a little while. So we took them up on the offer. Ready or not, here we come. For the first time in her life...at 4 months old, Bella has a crib of her own!
That same day she took a nap in her own bed for the first time!
Kaleb even gets his own room at Mimi and Papa's house. We moved him in, set him up, then he takes everything back out! Here he is playing with his cousin James who is excited to have him close by.
So here we are... we made the move! Kevin's working, but I have not had any luck finding a teaching job yet. Now we need to get a house of our own. Hopefully things will start falling into place soon. Whatever happens happens! Until then, we pray!
"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
