I can't believe it is December and I am posting about August! I am so far behind, but definitely want to make sure I document what went on with us {or at least some of the more memorable things} during that month. So, here goes...
On August 12th Heather put together a blood drive. She donates blood regularly and there is a huge shortage in Texas {and everywhere, I guess!}, so she decided to do something about it! It was a huge success. What a difference she made that day!

This picture was taken on August 24th. Near the end of the previous week Jason was offered and accepted a job in San Antonio. While we had been wanting to move closer to family, leaving our sweet friends and College Station family behind was one of the hardest decisions we have ever made.
Once the decision was made, things moved very quickly! We packed and moved that whole weekend. Granny even came on Saturday to take a load to storage in New Braunfels!
As previously mentioned, we have the Best. Friends. Ever.
Ever!
They all came over on Sunday and helped as we spent 14+ hours repainting the house to get it ready to put on the market. The kids were there and were keeping things lively as usual! Here they had found a box of gloves {maybe in my nursing box?} and were putting on a show!
Barbara- who might as well be a professional painter. She is amazing! She also claims that painting is therapeutic. Crazy? Maybe. I didn't question it...
Jenny and Kristin

Kristin is wearing two different sets of clothing because we actually taped on Saturday and painted ALL day Sunday. Stacey was also a huge help! Troopers, I tell ya. Sweet precious friends.

One evening during the next week my home church friends took me to La Bodega for a farewell dinner! Bitter sweet times. :)
Love these ladies!
Coming soon...
September!
I am so proud of you for donating! Thank you for your kind words, I really didn't do much though!
