We are baaaack... for real!

Our adventure in New Orleans is officially over. We are no longer residents of Louisiana. We sold our house on Shannon Dr and made that drive for the last time.

Sam wanted to come with us to help pack.



Shaw driving the truck... 26 foot with a full car dolly for our mazda!


Going over the Mississippi River.

I have no clue where this photo was from... honestly it looked all the same. We had mostly good weather, besides Monday evening we stopped because of a some wind and rain.


We drove I10... all the way to CA then up the 101...
Texas is very very long state.
California has the worst roads.
I have a greater respect for truck drivers... it's hard driving a big truck. They cannot go any faster uphill and they cannot stop. That truck was bumpy and loud... but ran like a champ.
We are looking forward to getting all our stuff out of storage and into the house.
As of now we are moving in June 12th. =)

The house...

So I first wrote this Blog for Shaw... but since he's awesome and totally trusts me... here is the house that is SUPER Cool that we put an offer in and it just got accepted! I am 99.999% sure he will love it as I do!!! (and all parents)

Here are some pictures that the website didn't show...
Our Mom's Approve


Garage is off an alleyway. 2 car garage is inclosed and the 3rd is to this carport but secluded from the alley with a one car garage door.

Other cool things....
indoor laundrey
patio for a spa... which I want badly.
the bedrooms have really neat built-ins. one a desk and one drawers and a shelf.
3rd spare room is large and on the other side of the house for loud guests.
Like 1 mile from work for me and about a mile from the templeton park.
It's pretty private and feels much bigger that .1 of an acre.
This place is move in ready... not much work is needed to be done (which is so much different than any other places we have looked at! )
We are renting from the owners until the sale goes through. We move in June 15th!
Happy thoughts and prayers that this sort sale process will go as smooth as possible.

Shaw I can't wait for you to see it so you will love it! XOXO

Whhaaa Hoooo

We are on our way to New Orleans!

We sold our house and are leaving the 13th of May to make the final move!

=)

Looking forward to some time with my lovely lover and seeing all the people we have missed since being here!

Another Update- Shaw's parents have decided and have taken action to add on a bathroom and small kitchen to our bottom bedroom. We are about 3 week away from completion. There has been a lot of banging and dust and some money spent but to not have to crawl up thoes skechy stairs and go through that very noisy door to get to the bathroom while half asleep will be AWESOME. Also eliminating the falling down the stairs factors will also be nice (has only happened twice and its been towards the bottom)
Here are just a few photos.


View from my room into the kitchen. Bathroom is in the far back.

Big Window installed.
