Our New Reality

We made it! It's Sunday morning and we are enjoying a quiet morning at home. It feels more like home anyway since we got groceries on Friday. Caroline, my sister Lori and I had an uneventful drive down on Thursday, and when we arrived, I had a surprise waiting... my mom had put my entire kitchen together for me! What a blessing that was!

On Friday we put more stuff away and Jason and I made a trip to Home Depot and Walmart for some supplies. My mom and sister took the kids swimming at my parent's neighborhood pool while we ran those errands which helped a lot! Friday evening Jason went into the restaurant for a while and the kids got to bed early. It think it will take a few weeks to catch up on the sleep they have missed during the move.

Saturday we decided to enjoy the day and put aside the unpacking for awhile, so we went to the beach down the road from our neighborhood. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a blast swimming and boogie boarding.



The view down the beach....



Alex spent most of his time under the water.....

The water was perfect.... enough waves to go boarding, but calm enough not to get tossed around too much.

While I was sitting on the beach watching the kids play, it was hard to believe that we actually live here. I think it will feel like we are on vacation for awhile until we get into a routine. We are so blessed to have our business and our new home, and we are looking forward to making friends and finding a new church home here.

I will post some more pics of our house soon! Have a wonderful Sunday!
