Officially South Texans Again!!

So, we survived the move! I came home a week early to start my new job, and then drove to Amarillo on Friday 8-3-12 with my Mom & Dad in-law to load up the Uhaul and get Travis! He finished all of his finals, and is officially DONE with book work in grad-school! We took my Mother & Father in law to a few local places in Amarillo while they were there. We ate at Coyote Bluff (As seen on Man vs Food!), ate some amazing dessert at Malcom's, and took them to Palo Duro Canyon (2nd largest in the US) and we saw the play "Texas"! They really enjoyed it, as did we!
We moved Travis into our apartment August 2010, I joined him January 2011! :)

All of us at lookout point at Palo Duro Canyon

My wonderful husband & I! :)

My mother in law the rock climber!

Play Texas!


So, living with my Mom & Dad will be interesting, it'll be a good thing because I won't be stuck in Amarillo away from my parents while Travis is away from me at the same time. I hated being 11 hrs from all our family and friends for the year and a half that we did it. Trust me, it was a good experience and I had an awesome job but family means way more to me than that! Hopefully this next year will go by quickly and we will be looking to buy our first house next year around this time! :)

In other news, my brother Billy had a head on collision near Sabine Pass on Sunday, him & his girlfriend. He broke his femur below where he had a rod already, so he had his surgery yesterday and is on the road to recovery. Thank God it wasn't worse than it was. I know my mom wishes she could be there with them, but with their health issues it's hard for her to up and go that far away.
My Dad is still recovering from his hernia surgery, so hopefully he begins to feel better soon himself!


Travis has a 2 week break before his clinicals start. So we are going to have some FUN! We are headed to 2 of our favorite places tomorrow! We're going to San Antonio to stay on the Riverwalk at Drury Plaza, probably our favorite hotel EVER. LOVE the riverwalk! And then we're going to New Braunfels to Schlitterbahn on Thursday! I'm so excited, looking forward to spending some FUN time with my husband before he leaves for 8 weeks :(

Our "zoo" is adapting well here at my parents! Pudge LOVES to swim, so we have a pool we set up for him, we throw Barkley in and he just gets out, digs in the dirt and gets muddy! The cats enjoy more room to roam as well! :) And gizmo, well, he, as my dad calls him "is just a rat"...he's a guinea pig!!! haha!

So that's the latest on this end of the world! Until next time...
