First Trip to Ft. Worth

To say the last few weeks have been a whirlwind is an understatement. At one point, for about 6 days, I had a headache behind my eyes that would NOT go away. I think as far as stress, this has been one of the most stressful times in my entire life. Selling a house in Ohio while living in DC while buying in Texas while trying to move some stuff to Ohio so the official movers actually do that work while shooting lots of spring families has proven to be too much for me. And buying a house in another city that you haven't been to in years is definitely stressful by itself! Researching schools, looking at test and college entrance scores while figuring out proximity to Derek's office, etc, etc!

Anyway, to back up a bit, we got down to Texas as soon as we could after Derek received news he got the job! (Which, did I mention, 13 total applicants put in for so I'm SUPER SUPER proud of him!) We were down there for a week and my parents drove down from Kansas City to help watch the kiddos while we house hunted with the realtor all day. It worked out perfectly and I'm so grateful for them doing that!

We did also squeeze in some fun at the stock yards and ate at Joe T. Garcia's.... an AMAZING Mexican food restaurant! We also found a cute little church with an Easter egg hunt followed by a great service and then enjoyed Easter brunch at Cheesecake Factory! Here are some shots from our trip...

The kids LOVE hotel rooms because they get to jump on the bed!

But they also did a lot of TV watching...

And naked running around with towels as capes...

 

 

One evening we drove over to Dallas to see our friends and their 2 boys...

 Easter morning...

 

It was crazy stormy while we were there so we were glad we had an indoor pool...

And then we ventured to the Ft. Worth museum as well...

We'll definitely be regulars at the Ft. Worth Stockyards once we move...

But we were glad to be heading home after a week!
