Trip Back to South Dakota!!


We are just getting ready to leave South Dakota and head back to Texas. Let's hope the way back is as good as our trip up was! We drove all night...okay when I say "we" that actually means Brent and Daniel, and it took about 15 hours. The drive was nice since Marina was able to sleep through most of the night. Sara and I also slept most of the night, so it made the trip go really fast!! We told the boys what an easy trip that was, and how we should do that instead of fly...they both just glared at us: )

Like always, our trips home seem to go fast. We try seeing as many friends and family as possible. The big event this trip was my cousin, Rick's wedding. The wedding was really nice, we were able to see so much of our family.We also had a family bbq to celebrate my mom and dad's 40th anniversary and 60th birthdays. Brent and I also celebrated our 2nd anniversary on July 21st!

Our New Place!!

So I am sure that many of you are probably thinking that we moved into a house, since that is want we planned to do. Well the house thing didn't work out yet because the only house we really liked is a foreclosure and we would have to put too much down and we wouldn't be able to move until the 1st of October. We really enjoyed staying with my sister, but for all of our sanity, Brent and I decided moving to an apartment would be a good decision right now. We found a really nice complex that will be close to both our schools and my sisters. It has work out facilities, 4 pools, and it is in a really nice location ( right next to Super Target!)
So for the last week we have been busy buying all of those things needed to set up a new place...so much more than we imagined!
Tomorrow we are leaving on our road trip to South Dakota for my cousin's wedding. We are really excited to see family and friends. Hopefully the 16 hour drive with a baby won't be that bad!! We will let you know in the next blog....
Have a great week everyone!!
