Lately...and a bittersweet birthday wish

Whew guys...it's been a whirlwind of a few weeks!

The big news is WE MOVED!

We bought and moved into our first house the last few weeks and couldn't be more thrilled for it to have finally happened! Needless to say though - it has been an all consuming task between that and getting our apartment rental ready for the next tenant! I am thrilled to have painted, replaced floors, cleaned, unpacked most of the boxes, put stuff on the walls, cleaned some more and today finally be on the way to being moved in! Of course going from an 800 sq ft garage apartment to a 2200 sq foot house we have a little ways to go to fill it out but we are on our way there! So hooray for that!! We are officially tax paying, mortgage owing red blooded American dreamers.


So that's been the big thing. I've been back on the workout wagon too! I got my membership back at Define which has been awesome. I've been hitting up the 5:30 am Rev and Body classes mostly which has been a fabulous way to start the day! If you're in Houston and are looking for an awesome place and way to stay in amazing shape check it out!


So to wrap this little post up - today marks 3 months exactly since Dad's passing. 
I miss him like crazy. The last few weeks I've wanted to call him and tell him all about the things going on - especially with the new house. Dad would ask me all the time when we had dinner what kind of house we wanted to be in, the neighborhood, etc. and I am sad he isn't here to come see it and share a pot of gumbo. 

Tomorrow is also his birthday. You would have been 64 tomorrow Daddio. I am so sad that we can't celebrate together tomorrow but I hope you know how much you are missed and loved and we will light a candle and sing Happy Birthday in our most awesome obnoxious opera voice and think of you! Here's one of my favorite pictures of me, Emily and Dad on his birthday a few days ago. 

Happy Birthday to you Daddio - smoke some amazing ribs, make something spicy and make sure they send some cake from RJs to you from us. 
Love you. Miss you. 

Until next time guys!
