Summer/Changes/Everything in between

So I was thinking that it was time for me to give an update since it's been FOREVER since I posted, but when I double checked my last post, it was only 2-3 months ago. Not that long. I guess when you have a lot going on it seems like time is flying by, when in reality, time hasn't moved that much. So far we've had 3 trips this year, two different sports leagues, and possible career changes that it just feels like the year should be wrapping up instead of not even being half way through. So let's get some things updated.

Our spring break trip to South Carolina was fantastic. The boys loved great grandma and grandpa and the weather was so beautiful that we actually spent time at the beach! I really loved being with family and getting some bonding time in. I was disappointed the husband couldn't make the trip, but work was just too busy for him to take the time off. Hopefully we'll plan another trip in a year or two and he can make that one.

So after taking that trip in March, my sister and I took a small weekend trip to California to watch one of our good friends finally get married. I say 'finally' because she's been dating her wonderful man for 12 years! We've been waiting for this marriage for so long. The wedding was beautiful and perfect. It was really everything her and her finance deserved. Even though it was only a weekend trip, I was able to see family, hang out with friends, and eat some of the yummy food I was brought up on. It's always fun to go back, but I sure was happy to come back to Texas. 

So now the school year is rapidly coming to an end. Last day of school is May 30th and this is the first year the kids won't be traveling to California. My brother and his girlfriend moved back into my dads and she's about to have a baby next month, and having the boys out there wouldn't be a good idea right now. Both boys are really bummed, but they understand. My dad came out in April and spent some time with them so hopefully that helped soften the blow. Coming up with summer camp was not cheap or easy. Luckily the city hosts a summer camp for Round Rock residents. The boys attended the Winter Camp and had a blast, so I know they will love the summer camp. Each week they will go on a different field trip, and there will activities and games that will maintain the same theme. I'm very excited to see how it works out. 

So the final big change is that the husband and I might be making big changes on the career front. Nothing is set in stone yet, but we have been making steps towards this direction. We both need a change. We are not drowning or anything, but we want to start moving in a faster pace towards our goals. I'm getting impatient for a house! So hopefully by my next update I can report some exciting things!
