Big Changes!

Man, what a busy few months we've had! Mike, Paisley and I are now living with Ree Ree and Papa for a few weeks due to the events that have occured recently. Today, we will say our last goodbyes to our first house. We were so thrilled to sell the house after it had been on the market for about 3 weeks, YAY!


Our Old House


So, Mike worked his tail off this past week to get everything packed up & moved out before school started today. Two PODS, 8 million trips back and forth to mom & dad's and lots of cleaning later, the house is finally empty. I must say, I had a very sad feeling being in the house without "us" in it... And with all of the memories of our first 5 years of marriage & first baby there, it is hard to leave.


However, in 2 weeks, we will gear up to move all of our stuff once again into a new house. The new house is less than 10 minutes away, but is closer to Ree Ree & Papa's house and still about the same distance away from the Grandmas' house. We are SO excited to make new memories in this house & make it our own.

Our New House



Paisley isn't really sure what in the world is going on. She's been with us at the old house with it empty & has said "bye bye" to her room. When you ask her about the new house, she says "moving in a few weeks"... :) and the last few days in the old house, as everything was slowly being packed up, she would go into her room and say "what happened to room??"


She's growing like a weed, and her vocabulary never ceases to amaze us. Mike told her it was time to get out of the bathtub the other night and she said, "no, I'm still playing". She's becoming quite the night owl lately too. When she goes down for the night around 8:30, sometimes she'll play and fidget in her crib until 9:30 or 10 at night before falling asleep. She must get that from Mike.



Other than moving, which can totally wreck all sense of 'normalcy', Paisley will start school on Sept. 11 at First Baptist Lewisville. She's excited & talks about school quite a bit. Mike's classes started today - he's taking 5 classes & is down to what will probably be his last year of classes before student teaching begins. It's Awesome.
