Although I am sure we will be by several times before it sells, its kinda a goodbye to the house we knew... sad and the closing of a huge chapter of my life... and for everyone else as well. It did make me remember also about how much I hate to move! Hence us not moving ever UNTIL we know we will stay put in that place for a long time.
Anyhoo, we got everything pretty much unloaded and set up by noon. Went and had a lunch break, and a chance to play with Ariel. She was really into Katie's big duckie!
Afterwards I got to take Ariel home to bed while everyone went to hang pictures and such. I was so bored and tired that I got into bed and watched a movie. I never do that so I knew I was needing a break.
Ken got home and we had dinner and headed out to watch the Tour de Delta!
Ariel loved the bikes racing by and she would shout 'WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'.
We walked around the track and ended up running into lots of people we knew. Thats always fun. It was so hot tonight and it reminded us about how last year it DUMPED RAIN! This weather is much better, hee.
Ariel had a walk with Aunty Lala, who we ran into as well. She got Ariel ringing her bell for the bikes, yay!
Overall it was a fun evening after a busy day. Ken and I decided to briefly check in on Nana and Papa to make sure they were ok. Nana had gone back to the house for a few things, so we kept Papa company. He and Ariel read some books together, a good way to break in the new place.
I managed to get a brief little video of their rooms so show you how nice they are. They also have a little storage room and a nice large bathroom (especially compared to the old house).
Flashing back to Friday, it was the 7th month and 11th day of the year... thus meaning it was FREE SLURPEE DAY! Woot! So we walked down to our local 7-11 store, which is a good trek for us from our place. Ariel was very excited, especially with all the kids there with day camps that were taking advantage of the 7.11 oz slurpees available to the public. This was also Ariel's 1st slurpee experience, so of course we had to take pictures. Yummy!
Her first reaction was 'COLD!' Followed quickly with 'Hmmm, yummy, MORE!'
We didn't do much that evening, but Ariel had to work off her sugar rush the only way she knows how...
Tonight I was excited to see the pictures we took the other night with Maria were posted on her website. So click on Frozen Reflections then click on 'featured' and 'Ariel'. I am loving how these turned out and I can't wait till we do our follow up session to do the remaining costume and such. Hope you love them as much as I do.
My friend Meeka posted this game on her blog, and since I haven't done anything like this in awhile I took part.
Step 1: Open your iTunes or other lesser MP3 player.
Step 2: Put all of your music on random.
Step 3: Write down the first 30 songs it plays, no matter how embarrassing
No laughing at my stuff, I have some pretty random stuff in my itunes. From crazy 80's stuff and soundtracks to lame 90's music I grew up with and can't give up (much to Ken's dismay) and then some new tunes.

I challenge you all to do it with your music. Hee. I kinda like how each song has a story about it to me. The Aqua songs takes me back to the summer after I graduated high school and the days Ken and I were first dating. Blue Letter by Fleetwood Mac reminds me of camping trips with my family when I was little.
I have to say since it came up in my list, Walk Away by Alanis was BEFORE she was all popular as Alanis Morissette. She was like a teen pop sensation. Check out who is in the old music video with her... 'how you doin'?' Hahah, classic!
Ok, I should call it a night. Whee, bye!
