Updates, Updates, Updates!

I know I have not blogged in a while... honestly because there has been so much going on that I don't really know where to start! So, here is everything in a big throw-up form that has no structure....

- I moved to The Woodlands! This happened about 3 weeks ago. I really miss Fort Worth but I have really been enjoying my time with family and friends here... it's weird, everything is familiar but not the same. Although I had this same feeling when I moved back from college so I am used to this.

- We still have not closed on our house! This topic has pretty much been ruling our lives for the last 3 weeks. We were supposed to close on June 1 but clearly this did not happen. I think it is a combination of many factors that I probably shouldn't list because we are not happy about any of them. We are set to close Monday but we are not holding our breath.

- Since we have not closed on our house yet the 3 days we were planning to spend with my parents has turned into 3 weeks! Most people would say this is a nightmare but to be honest, we have had SO much fun!! It has been great spending time with my parents and if you know them or me you would know that they are the most supportive un-invasive fabulous parents in the world! Obviously we would prefer to be in our own house but I can not think of a better place for us for the time being. We have had a blast with all of the family dinners, swim and tanning time, movie marathons and being treated like royalty! My mom seriously treats us like we are at a Bed and Breakfast- we were joking the other day saying it's just been like a long vacation.

- Ryan started his job!! It has been so great and we feel blessed to be a part of such a loving, God-driven, mission-minded church! The kids are hilarious and we have been able to start relationships with many of them. I actually speak to the girls on August 7th so please keep me in your prayers! I am nervous but also really excited for the opportunity to share my heart. We seriously could not have had a better welcome into Faith Bible Church. Everyone has just been fantastic! If you are in the Houston area and would like to check it out you totally should!! www.faithbibleonline.com

- I have great friends! Also since we have been back home I have had so much fun meeting up with all of my friends back here... it was really hard leaving my friends in Fort Worth- as you have read in other posts I was rather attached since a few of them were friends from childhood and college! However, I am so lucky to have great friends in the Houston area as well. I have a few childhood friends that I am still close to and quite a few college friends that are so much closer to me now- I love all of you so much!

- I have LOVED having Ryan home at night! Can we just talk about the fact that he has worked nights since before we were married?? It has been so great actually seeing him at dinner time- I love that our schedule are not opposite anymore. Honestly we had been doing it for so long that I was totally adjusted to our schedules but I can not tell you how happy I am that I have my husband during normal hours! We have been cooking, going on dates on days other than Sundays and Mondays and I gotta say- it's been so fun. I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband and I also have to say that i LOVE seeing him interact with the youth group. It is a side of him that I have missed seeing since he was unable to do ministry with his old schedule. Ryan is like a totally new person now that he actually has a social life and it makes me happy that he is so happy :)

- My last post was about a girls weekend and this post is going to end with another girls weekend! I leave for the river tomorrow morning and could not be more excited!! It is 2 of my besties Katie and Raven's 25th birthday so a group of us are going to Gruene,TX tomorrow night and are of course visiting the Gristmill and Gruene Hall and then it is off to the river on Saturday morning! Please pray we have a safe trip with no crashes on the river! It is supposed to be super fast which makes it oh so fun and somewhat scary!!

Thanks for reading, I will try to make my next post a little bit more reader friendly. Have a great weekend!!
