3 Months to go

Where we spend a lot of our time- out in the backyard on the trampoline.
We are already down to 3 months until we move to Austin! I have so many things I'm excited about. I have a running list of places to eat, that's my #1 priority, you know. I'm excited to find furniture, we have nothing. Just Amelia's stuff. No bed, no couch, no dressers. I love browsing furniture websites, I am loving this chair:

I do wish it came in a color, something exciting like magenta or teal or mustard yellow. And I wish it was $60 rather than $500, seriously! We did get an apartment! Well it's almost final. It is a 2 bedroom and has a washer and dryer and free cable. Glad to have that out of the way.

I'm excited about this summer. I plan to spend a lot of time playing games with family, hanging out with all of our friends. I want to enjoy the cooler summer nights since I understand I won't get that in Austin, it will be HOT all the time. It's already getting up to 98 degrees in May! Ginger and Sam will visit often this summer, and we have a trip planned to visit Juan's fam in Wisconsin over the 4th. I'm excited to put Amelia in shorts and dresses and not have to worry about her knees getting all beat up from crawling, or her dresses tripping her up while she crawls. As I write, she is walking laps around the basement, stopping in to say hello every now and then. She is loving this walking thing!

Juan is busy again. He is working 30 hours and it turns out his calculus class is a killer. Boo. So a countdown is back on, this term will be over June 17. Then he just has a History class through August. On the upside, we do see him a lot more than last semester, he just should be doing homework a lot of that time. Ugh.

That's all for now.

It will be so much fun to move and change and learn a new place! Yay for you guys. I just realized the other day how sad Judson will be when you leave. I'll be sad too, but Judson and Amelia have so much fun together. He'll miss his bestest hugest girl bestest friend.

3 months to go! I agree, furniture shopping is fun--too bad it's also really expensive. Enjoy your summer before the big move!

That time is going to fly by especially with all the stuff you want to do before you leave. You and mustard yellow, it's definitely growing on me. I agree, it's fun to look at furniture...until you see the price and then the fun is over!

I love those accent chairs. I want to have a crazy accent chair also. It would be better in a different color.

I can't believe you guys only have 3 months. That will fly by during the summer. I am glad we will be able to see you a few times before you leave.

Wow, I can't believe the countdown has begun! I, for one, am super excited. We visited our pool for the first time today and it was fabulous. I have a feeling we'll do that a lot too when you come. LOVE the chair! We actually almost bought a couch like that from Ikea last year, except it was blue, but then we found the leather one we have now. But I loved it so much I bought a pillow in the same print. Very fun! I like to fantasize about how I would decorate if money was no object and if I didn't have kids. I'd have everything white with blue or green accents, so it would always look fresh and clean. Lol
