Road Trip!

So this is my attempt to catch up on my blog.  Our last week in Alabama was crazy!  The girls had swimming lessons every morning and then we tried to soak up as much time with friends as we could.  Oh, and Ella had a Dr. appt.   It was so fun and so completely insane!  I don't think I could have survived another day as busy.
We hit the road early Friday morning and headed to San Antonio.  I was really worried about Ella staying in the car but she did fantastic!  All the girls did.  We stayed 2 nights and 1 day in San Antonio.  It was a nice break from the drive and so fun!  The city is beautiful and so full of history. 
After our break we spent another day driving to Arizona.  I thought the girls were good the first leg, but they were even better the second!  It was great.  Josh and I were able to talk and laugh and just enjoy each other.  I love that after (almost) 7 years of marriage we still have things to talk about and I still enjoy our time together.  Part of me can't wait until retirement! 
We pulled into Grandma and Grandpa Wickert's house about 10 that night and stayed up until after 1 visiting.  It was nice to catch up!  It had been way too long since we'd seen them. 
The next day we set off house hunting.  We found the perfect house, but we didn't get it.  So Tuesday we set off again to look and found a house one street over from the 'perfect' house that had the exact same floor plan.  It's great!  We have a community pool, an open kitchen and are 4 houses down from a park.  It's great! 
We're close enough to Josh's family that we get to spend plenty of time with them, we are in what seems to be a great ward and Kira has already started making friends.  Now I am looking forward to being past the 'new' stage and to have life completely settled.  This new phase of my life is turning out to be an adventure already and I can't wait to see where it leads!
