March is the best time of year in Houston. The weather is wonderful and it is the time to do everything! It doesn't help that we are trying to do all our fun things before we move. We've been quite busy with all the hustle and bustle around I don't think it has even set in that we are moving.
Earlier this month some friends and I had an awesome ladies night out. We went downtown for dinner then off to the ballet where we saw our dear friend Sara perform as Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. It was amazing and she is an outstanding dancer! (Thanks Bri for taking pics).
We then had our 3rd annual Houston Rodeo weekend with the Nydeggers and Walkers. It unfortunately wasn't our best year as Jackson was sick. One year we really will do as we always say and leave the kids at home. It was still wonderful to get together before we leave. I regret not taking many photos but here is E and me in the petting zoo.
Over the past several months we've been preparing to be a Ma and Pa for our Stake's Pioneer Trek. When we found out we were moving we weren't sure if we were still going to go but had made arrangements for Ben's mom and sister to come down to stay with E. We ended up going and were grateful for the experience. I think Ben's family was glad too! They must have had fun because after they left E only wanted to go to the park and play outside and with her new golf set. We miss having them around!
I hate to reveal any awful "Little House on the Prairie" pictures of me but this one is such an example of how awesome our trek family was! I hardly did any pushing of the handcart (as you can see them forging the river and me taking my leisure time across). Doesn't the gentleman in the bottom pic look hardcore?
Now that things have settled a bit we are getting ready to go full force on the moving arrangements. We plan to leave the beginning of May!
