We are finally here!!!

I can't believe it. We are finally in Austin. The city we have been wanting to be in for so long. The first week we were here Jeremy was in Dallas taking a winter class at DTS. Thank goodness my sister and brother-n-law were here. I enjoyed the company and the help.

We have met at least four of our neighbors. We are having a Super Bowl party and inviting our entire section of the neighborhood. I found the cutest invitations. Please pray that it goes well. It is sort of a pre-Super Bowl party in our cul-d-sac. Speaking of cul-d-sac, my boys love love love it. They ride their scooters, skateboards, and anything that has wheels really. No worries, Blake has already busted his head and scraped his elbow all up.

It takes forever to unpack with four kids under 7. It goes something like this....open box, pull up Sam's pants, unwrap China, Blake wants a snack, realize I need to wash the dishes before I put them in the cabinet, Gray's awake-nurse Gray, realize I should probably line the drawers and cabinets, go get Tyler from school, the one box is still not all the way unpacked. So frustrating!!

All in all, we feel so blessed to be here. We also feel blessed to have a home in a great neighborhood and people all around to share the love of Christ with. I will update with some pictures soon.

Also, a quick update on my Mom, she had her first round of Chemo last Tuesday. It went awful. She was sick until today really. Please pray that they can balance her meds so that she isn't sick. If you know my Mom, laying around on the couch for an entire week is the complete opposite of the professional organizer, tennis player, neat freak, can run circles around me Mom.

Yea! I'm so glad to hear that you're finally home! I can't imagine the headache you face with unpacking...I hated it and we only had Kate.
We'll keep praying for your mom...I know she hates this.
We love you all and miss you...hope to see you soon!
