Still in transition....

So we FINALLY closed on our house a few weeks back. We were able to get a Professional Loan with Compass Bank (thanks to Courtney for the advice) and closed in 2 weeks. It's amazing what a different lender can do. There were no questions or concerns, it was smooth sailing. Praise God for that!
So presently we are still in a waiting period.... We are updating the house a lot! From floors to lighting to a new oven to painting to new light fixtures, you name it, it's happening right now. It's going to be gorgeous once we finally move in! This whole experience has taught me SO much about patience! Patience is one of my weaknesses for sure. The projected move in date is September 25, and I need prayers from ALL of you that this will happen!
So presently we are residing in "retirement-ville" as my good friend MP likes to call it! Ha! We literally are the youngest by at least 50 years! This place is where the winter-Texans reside. Most of the people here are either A) going through a separation, B) bored with life C) winter-Texans that have never left or D) all of the above. SO obviously us being in our 30s with a baby is a site for the other residents. We are bunking it up in a little 2 bedroom furnished (year of decoration most likely 1967) duplex that's on a major highway, so we are blessed with road noise 24/7. The queen bed Colby and I are sleeping on forces us to the center, so a lot of "cuddling" and maybe some "love kicks" are occurring nightly! Poor Cade is sleeping in his travel Baby Bjorn crib, and I think he's about fed up with that! I know I sound negative about this whole experience, but honestly it has been quite comfortable, comical and just down-right interesting! Hahahahahaha Our "neighborhood" is called the Texan Guest Ranch, YEE-HAW!!!! It has a Workout Barn and a Laundry Barn, I know you are SO jealous! I can always take any of you on a tour anytime you visit us!

But since my last post, we have had a lot of fun. We visited Puerto Vallarta for Melissa Peters wedding. Her and Adam are now Mr and Mrs Allgood. Yes, they changed BOTH of their last names, so cool. It was a fabulous vacation and a gorgeous wedding. Below are a few pics!






And last weekend we went to Fredericksburg, one of my favorite places to visit. My family and Colby's family all went together. How blessed am I that our families get along so well. I am sure all the wine drinking helped that (in all seriousness, the families really love each other and we all love wine too which helps)! The trip was fantastic and relaxing. I think this may end up being a yearly tradition!




And then Cade showed his Texas spirit this weekend! Hook em'!!!!!!!!
