Finally Settled

Okay, so since I've been MIA for over a month, I figured it was about time to post an update!
Me with my sweet boys... enjoying our last few days at our home in Bastrop.

Little Bryson, enjoying his last fews days in his gravel-box! :)
Sweet Brode, enjoying the wind... 
My boys enjoying a final picnic outdoors at their "old" house.
Here they are enjoying their swimming pool, too!

Two peas in a pod. Lately, they've enjoyed doing everything together... even movie time.
Our good friends from Bastrop threw us a "send off" party. This is what we saw when we first walked in the door!  It's a collage of our journey together... So incredibly thoughtful and sweet!!! 
The sweet friends I made over the past year. I can't tell you enough how much I love these girls and how much I already miss them. I pray I can make friends half as good as these ones!! :)

Eric and Kristi - friends who became like family to us right off the bat. They took care of us from beginning to end and I will ALWAYS cherish their friendship. 
Move in day - Brode set up shop with a movie and pizza and was content as could be!
Bitter sweet day for Mama though... 
SPLASHPAD!!!  Our neighborhood has two area pools that we can utilize. This area had a pool and splashpad... the boys adore it! 

I have to admit, I love it too...

Perfect excuse to get out of the house and enjoy the cool water.

I think we are finally starting to feel settled.  Andrew started two-a-days as of last week and is LOVING his new job as D-Coordinator.  I love hearing the excitement in his voice and seeing the twinkle in his eye when he talks about his day. I can't wait to see him in action!! :)

As for me and the boys... I made a checklist. Organize the house: check. Find a church: check (three attempts and we feel like we may have found our fit). Find a pediatrician: check. Find the local library: check. Find a Mom's Club: check. I start next week. Dinner date with old friends: check. 

Hopefully, now with some of the hard stuff out of the way, we can finally get settled with our "hope to be" new church, my upcoming play dates, and many football games! :)  Thank you for all of your prayers as we continue to make this transition - I appreciate them.  I still have my good and bad days.  I get lonely with Andrew gone all day/night and my not having made friends yet.  I know all things will work out in time... I'm anxiously awaiting...
