So, I need to start off with an apology of sorts. Life got a hold of me and I stopped updating my blog. I found out recently by several of you, that this is basically how you keep up with what is going on with me and my family.
Since I last wrote in March, things have been rolling along cheerfully, for the most part. In April, I took the girls by myself to Houston. D and Little L enjoyed walking around Buc-ee's. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is better than a gas station with some of the largest and cleanest bathrooms I have ever seen. We got to spend three nights with Gigi, my grandmother, and they totally had a blast. Gigi took us shopping for matching outfits, bought us a bunch of toys including two large balls, and took us to the park across the street. The time went too quickly, but it was a lot of fun.
May was a month of celebrating. My mother took her mother (Gigi) to the Kentucky Derby!! They both wore fancy, but tasteful hats (no Prince William's wedding style hats here!) and had a blast. The men were southern gentlemen who helped them out whenever they turned around. Both of them knew it was a trip of a lifetime and a wonderful way to spend Mother's Day.
My dad came to visit us for Mother's Day. D had her very first dance recital so he came to watch. She did a tap and a ballet number and my almost 4 year old actually danced!!!! I was completely prepared for her to just stand up there, but she didn't. The tap routine had them dancing with a stick, which made the other mommies and I worried. There were no casualties or injuries.
Shortly after Mother's Day, we put our house on the market. Our nice 3 bedroom, 2 bath house was not meeting our needs anymore. Since most of our family, friends, and activities are in Dallas, we decided that we didn't like missing out on things because we live too far away. Ten days after our house was listed, we had a total of 21 showings and two offers.
On June 30th, we will be closing on our house and moving into an apartment for a few months. We found a nice apartment that specializes in short term leases while we look for a house in Plano/North Dallas. Since we were not expecting our house to sell so quickly, we hadn't really been looking at houses, but we have spent a lot of evenings and Sundays looking now. Hopefully we will find our home soon enough.
Husband finished up his first year as an Educational Diagnostician and had a great year. He has a group of friends and feels like this is a great place for him. I finished up my first year back at teaching and LOVED it!!! It was a nice reminder of why I got into education in the first place. D and Little L had a great year at their dual language campus and D is singing and telling us words in Spanish all of the time. I will try to write soon with our new updates and progress on the move.
