Busy Bees

Well, again it seems that life takes me away from posting. We have been super busy since my mom and sister left keeping the house up and shopping for dining room furniture and just the daily stuff in life. We also have had some issues at our rental property, but I feel we have finally gotten through that. Everything should be complete Wednesday!

Well, yesterday was a big day! It was my birthday and I have to admit, it was a GREAT one! We have come to realize that we have INCREDIBLE friends and LOVE THEM VERY DEARLY. Dwayne is just an awesome husband. He tried to make plans for us to go out for dinner Sat night, but we had some problems with babysitters and the rental house, so we decided to put it off til Sunday. We gathered some friends together for a nice long motorcycle ride and lunch. We started out here at the house with a toast given by my husband and friends (Laura, Steve, Mark, Taylor and the kids). Then off to Redfish for lunch! My favorite place of all times. We ate sushi and laughed. Our new found friends, Ken and Ann met us there to join the ride. We left there and headed on the scenic route to Papas on the Lake in Conroe. BEAUTIFUL ride. We love to go there bc of the scenery on the way. We then headed back towards home and ended up at Molly's Pub (little hole in wall) but great people. We had some birthday cocktails and played Buck Hunter and then headed on home. Thanks to Taylor, whom kept the kiddos, we got to enjoy each other's company for a few hours uninterrupted.

Dwayne and I cherish every moment we have with our friends bc we love each and everyone of them. All of us look forward to spending time with each other. We are excited that we will have that chance again this weekend for SuperBowl. We are very excited. I am downloading pics from yesterday and will post them asap. Lots of fun!

Sad Day!

Well, it has been forever since I have been able to post, but for very good reasons. My mother and sister were here. My mom came in Christmas Eve and we moved everything in and got unpacked and somewhat organized. My sister then came in on the boys' birthday and they both left today. We are just about done unpacking, mostly my room left, but that's it. Got everything hung and now trying to get our sick girls better. Brooke got sick the day of the boys' birthday party and then Savannah came down w/ it Sunday. UGH!

I will post more soon and hopefully some updated photos of the new rooms!
