The Moving Weekend

Whelp, the big move was last weekend! Sean's family (sans Kyle and Lindsay) came down and helped us with so many many many things. And took us out to dinner repeatedly. And went on lots of little Houston excursions.

This is the only picture I have of anything related to the move and little house projects. I was too busy packing to take pictures! Sean's cutting out a hole for the dryer vent- otherwise it would have just vented out into the garage. Talk about sweltering!

We had so much help from friends and Sean's family as we moved, it only took a couple hours. Thank you Elliot, Lara, Jeff, Angela, Jon, Kim (and Addie!), the Elders, Papa Bradley, Mama Bradley, Rachel, and Austin. And Pogo. It would have taken us a month to do everything that you guys helped us with! One of the worst parts of this move is changing wards (the geographical assignment of which church building to attend) and leaving all the great friends we've made. I'm going to miss seeing everyone so regularly. But we'll still be friends... right? Right?! (We're going to be going to the ward at least once more, guys, so look forward to that!)

Holy Swollen Feet, Batman! You can't tell that so well from this picture, can you? Well I wasn't about to let Sean take a close-up photo! Plus, this is after a few days of trying to stay off my feet. That moving day sure did a number on my tootsies.

Hmm, this must be somewhere in downtown Houston during one of the few instances in which I was standing. Remember those feet? And those braxton hicks which are ridiculously frequent? I was constantly finding a quick place for a rest.

And Sean was constantly looking fantastically handsome.

We were super excited to go to NASA. So excited, in fact, that we didn't bring the camera and had to take this photo at a later drive-by. The COOLEST part was seeing the Saturn V rocket. Holy macaroni, that thing is enormous. And it's that big mostly to accommodate all the fuel required to get out into space (and the moon!). Nutso. Awesomeo.

We checked out the Houston Aquarium. Though we didn't take many other pictures there besides this. Slackers. Ferocious slackers (see our sharp teeth?).

Our last visit was to Kemah, a fun boardwalk area along the coast. I'll put up some more pictures from there in the next post but first I'll include some carnival shots that I just love.

Who doesn't love a carnival? And a long weekend with family?

We do! Or, should I say "we don't"? We don't not love the weekend with family. Which means we love it.

Uh...

You get it.
