Well, I feel like typing a laundry list of all we did this summer because it feels like it was so long.
MOVED, all the logistics of moving, removed moving stickers, submitted claims on broken things, submitted claims on dented car, set up all utilities and auto billing/security accounts, change of address, met neighbors, joined a Moms club, accepted new furniture deliveries, hooked up laundry (this took over a week!), became members of a church, finally figured out the 2 TVs (this took over 2 months), returned stuff left behind to old homeowner, mailed stuff the movers took to the new homeowners, got vehicles inspected and registered and in no quick amount of time got TX drivers licenses, started working on getting TX nursing license, applied, hired and trained for job in school district, found good babysitters, celebrated our 12th anniversary, celebrated Father's Day, Ben got to know co workers and Boss, had old friends over, new friends over, talked to neighbors, had a failed play date and a few good ones, closed old bank accounts,learned to tie shoes, swam in the pool, learning how to take care of a pool, visited the county and school libraries, joined a community band, had Gma Jan visit, got rid of stuff, got a few new housewares, hauled out one satisfying empty box at a time, attended 2 VBS's and a gymnastics camp, started Monday night gymnastics lessons, took 2 piano lessons, decorated, went to Typhoon Texas, went crazy, wished the summer away, had a little too much screen time, made loom bracelets, visited the YMCA 3 times, made a friend, did dinner club, learned 20 new street names, gotten lost in our neighborhood, swam, Face-timed with friends and family, have people apologize for arriving at the worst time of year. That about exhausted me. I think I'll stop and insert pictures here.
Welcome gift from co worker: inflatable mattresses and wine!
Everyone likes Pool and Ice Cream Our ice cream consumption has escalated since moving 😬
Please let the slime craze be over.
Hardly a day that we haven't used the pool!
VBS the first week here. A good theme for our situation: Life is crazy; God is good.
Ugh, was so hard for me to feel settled when nothing was in it's place! It either felt like a disaster or a vacation AirBnB-but not our house.
Happy Father's Day to our Rock!
The neighborhood Picnic in Park had yoga, games, food trucks, pool open
First Pool Party
And then we went on vacation...
Everything was still very rough at this point and we considered cancelling, but what else were we going to do but keep on keeping on?
