We Are Here!

I've officially unpacked the last box in our little apartment in Dallas! Hooray! A mountain of packing paper later, and we are done...for now! We are in temporary housing for several months and then it's moving time again to more permanent housing. Still somewhere in the Dallas area, but basically we will be back to the drawing board as far as we are concerned! For now we reside in a town called Waxahachie (wawk-sah-hatch-ee.....as them Dallas folk say it)

Hmm how do we like Texas? We. Love. It.

We've lived here for 2 weeks so far. I've already been blown away by the general happiness that exudes Dallas folk. I'm not kidding!  Everywhere I go people find something to make glad conversation with. I also love hearing "have a blessed day" when  I leave the check-stand at the grocery store.

Oh, and southern hospitality is a real thing. I was at the post office on the last day of taxes (yup we procrastinated) and I forgot an envelope! Amidst all the craziness, one women saw me with my baby in the car seat next to me while I was trying to find an envelope as I moved up the line. She stopped me dead in my search and insisted that I take one of hers and a couple stamps too. Little gestures like that make a big difference! And that's only one example we've had!

I have also stumbled across honey biscuits from Church's Chicken. Amazing.

We listened to General Conference in our empty apartment on the floor. The movers were coming the next day but we were getting sick of our little hotel room so we decided to get semi settled into our house, doing laundry and stuff.

Speaking of sick, we were both fighting a baaad case of the flu that weekend! It was totally not cool but thankfully it was only a 24 hour bug. Regardless of that little unpleasant factor, we loved the messages of General Conference!!! It is a happy time indeed :)

My husband is such a goofball! 

Sometimes I think Graham wonders about his Dad haha. But I hope he grows up to be just like him :) 

I already have my trip planned to go see Brittany in Mississippi, Steve got work off and we are going next week!! I am sooo excited to see my sister!! I am way excited to see D and my super duper adorable nephews and niece. It's been over a year since I last saw them! Too long. They are so excited to see "baby graham-t" as Case calls him. To make it even more fun, Graham is their first cousin on Brittany's side of the family, so it's been a long time coming right?!

It's also basically summer here, and I dig that. A lot!
