another week

another week has come and gone.
the boys are both feeling better.
it may or may not be because i keep them doped up on motrin all.day.long.
either way. i have my happy babies back. and that i am thankful for.

so, adam went to the ATL last thursday for a 5 day golf outing.
it was planned a long time ago.
and is something he has done for the last several years.
he planned accordingly and bought my mom a plane ticket to come visit while he was gone.
we had the bestest time ever with grammie in town.
we explored the area. ate lots of yummy ice cream. and spent most of our day loving on her.
we miss her already and look forward to her and grampie coming back soon.

our living arrangement is still the same.
it has now been two weeks {and a day} in the apartment.
i'm getting antsy. to.say.the.least.
i think i can speak on behalf of all my family and say....we are ready for a home.
and we are {hopefully} headed in the right direction.
we put an offer on another house today.
IF we get it. i will of course, share more.
until then...please say a prayer for us.
the positive attitudes are slowly, but surely, fading around here.

i don't think i have shared how beautiful this place is. have i?
it's gorgeous. as in trees {big and small} everywhere.
{and where we come from...trees of any height are rare}.
our realtor didn't understand why we always commented on the trees. he said you don't have trees like this? huh, i thought they were everywhere. nope. not in good ol' texas....{or at least the part where we came from}. 

the weather has been fantastic as well {i know i won't be saying that for long}.
we are really close to lake erie - one of the great lakes.
they have a man made beach called Huntington Beach.
uhm, i grew up on Huntington Beach in SoCal.
how ironic.
we have had a bbq out at the lake.
we have had ice cream at mitcheles out at the lake.
swung.
played in the sand on the beach.
and ran free.
i have a feeling we will be spending many a days out there.
