Vacation and moving

Boy have we been busy, busy, busy around here! We went on a house hunting trip to Houston the middle of last month (and found a great house!). Then we came home for a week and dealt with house showings and all until we left for vacation at the end of the month. Our trip was packed - Miami, Key West, and then on to Ft. Myers. We had smooth flights (and we don't have any Jet Blue horror stories!) which was great. We had a great time in Miami: college reunion (wow, the Barry campus has grown, and we saw some familiar faces), beach walks, and our favorite restaurants from the old college days (La Cantina and Monty's). We drove down to Key West and enjoyed Duval Street (although not quite the way we did in college!). Then we headed to Grandma Laura and Grandpa Roger's house for some rest and relaxation. We had beautiful weather and spent a lot of time by the pool and playing outside. We were able to celebrate Grandpa's birthday with him which was nice (and Natalie is addicted to birthdays - or is it the cake?). Memaw and Grandad drove down from Lake Wales for a visit too, so that was nice. We hated to come home to cold weather and the real world. Dad had to leave for Houston when we got home, and Mom had to look forward to house showings, work, and kid care on her own (with Dad home on the weekends). We made it through the first week, and we signed a contract to sell our house, so that's a relief! Now we are scheduling movers and all the little details for our family move at the end of the month. Very exciting!
