The house has SOLD....

I've neglected the blog for the past week...and I have neglected taking pics too. Things have just been crazy busy. Last Wednesday Kate and I headed to Victoria with my granny to iron out some important things....their school, a place for us to live...you know..just little things!?!?

I had gotten some really good recommendations on a few Christian Private Schools for the kids. I have cousins that grew up in Victoria so their opinions helped tremendously. In the end we chose Faith Academy b/c of the dedication to Christ and promoting spiritual growth in our children. The principal and faculty were all amazing. Kate will start in the summer program on June 15th which is our first day in Victoria. Wesley will start in the childcare center at the same time. I honestly was impressed with how super sweet everyone was.

Then we headed over to look at a few rental properties. One was a town home that was the perfect size and price and literally backed up to the kids' school but it was across from a skating rink which I'm sure is just the happening place on Friday and Saturday nights. And it didn't have a yard...but then we found the cutest 3/2/2 house in a very nice subdivision. The property manager was an Aggie (WHOOP!) and she also was amazingly helpful. We knew some of the same people and chatted forever. The rent house is about 2 minutes from Justin's office and about 5 mins from the kids' school. It has sidewalks for my little monster to drive his tricycle.

I feel a sense of peace about everything going on. People keep asking if we are nervous and maybe I should be?!?! But being down there really solidified why this is the best thing for our family. I felt like I belonged there all this time. But I know that if we hadn't lived up here in Conroe I wouldn't appreciate this move as much. There are things I will definitely miss (mainly the people that have meant so much to us over the past 10 years!) But there is definitely this sense of small town that I am getting back to. I was super surprised when I went to make a left turn on HWY 77 and there was no Protected Left Arrow - they actually let people turn left w/out an ARROW!!! You could never do that in The Woodlands or Conroe......there would be even more wrecks than there already are!

We have a scheduled closing on our house for Friday, May 15th. Then we head out on vacation Sunday, May 17th. PORT A OR BUST!!! Kate and Justin are so looking forward to the beach! I am too....but hoping Wesley leaves some sand behind this year and doesn't eat it all!
