Finding {Home}

We recently returned home after a house hunting trip up to the DFW metroplex. Aaron graduates residency in a little over a week (yay!) and will be starting up his "real" job with a medical group up there. So we have to pack our bags, box up our life really, and make the move to North Texas. It was odd, trying to find a house that will be home, trying to find a place where we'll make new friends and trying to locate that "perfect" spot to make new memories. Bittersweet, really. Our trip was successful tho, and we found a beautiful place that will become our new home. Home is where the heart is, or so the saying goes, so I think that Corpus Christi will always feel like home to me...so many wonderful things happened here, it would be hard for it not to feel like home.

Since we had blocked out two weeks of time for house hunting but only ended up needing one day for that (yep, found it and leased it in one day!) and only needed a few days for other personal business stuff we had lots of time to catch up with some of the folks we love dearly in our "new neighborhood." We spent time with all the family and caught up with several friends during our trip too. Looking back I didn't take many pics...too busy having a good time I guess...but here are some of my faves that capture our Dallas trip...

Don't you just love the creative way we came up with to strap our new iPad to the back of my seat so Johnathan could watch his movies on the car trip??? I was quite proud of it, even if it was a bit redneck! ;)

Johnathan was totally mesmerized by it!

The spray shot up about 50 feet! Pretty cool!
