5/29: Things Are Moving Along...

It's Memorial Day Weekend - enjoyed time at Grandma and PePe's (my parents) with Aunt Frannie (my sister) and MawMaw(Jennifer's Mom).  We hung out in the pool, played, soaked up the sun, and enjoyed some great steak dinner with awesome cake for Grandma and PePe's 40th anniversary. It'll be times like these we'll cherish over these next two months.  These memories and times together will carry us until we can get back to Houston for Christmas.

This weekend we made progress towards simplifying our life here.  We sold the van.  So officially - we own NO vehicles.  Thankfully my folks have 3 cars and are allowing us to use one of their cars.   The kids love riding in it.  So one more major thing taken care of.  Now to getting our house ready to pack up, paint the house one nice neutral color - and hope it can get leased for July!!! 

Read an awesome quote today. Made me think of the journey we're getting ready to embark on.

  "Home Is Here....Opportunities Are Not."  - Jonathan Alexander

Not that opporunities are at home but this oppurtunity is going to allow us to experience things most don't. 

Tonight I asked the kids at bed time what they were looking forward to about moving to the UAE...Caralyn said she can't wait to see some camels.  Cole wants to pet and ride a camel.
