The first of Dallas

We moved out here rather quickly and did not have a place yet...luckily, I have an aunt who lives here and we were able to stay with her for the week while we found a house and waited to move in. It was a fun week. She was constantly trying to find fun stuff for us to do!! Here are a few of the things that we got done before it was moving day.We stopped by downtown Grapevine. They had a train and some really neat little stores. We got there a little early and had to wait for some of the things to open. Here we are waiting for the glass blowing to open so we could go and watch.Next stop was the lake. They don't really have any good beaches here...LAME!! But the girls enjoyed the water anyways. This is Macie pointing to a boat out in the water.Here is Addie and my Aunt Ann. They are finding rocks!
This one is very random, but Geoff went in to check on the girls one night and found this...Addie has her foot right in Macie's face! Looks comfy no?!!My dad came down here to help us move in, which was a huge help!! thanks Dad!! While he was here we thought that we would check out the Zoo. We had the coolest experience with a Gorilla while we were there. We went to look through this glass window and the Gorilla noticed us and came right over to us, sat down right next to the window and just looked at us. He looked so nice and sad that he was in there. The girls thought that it was pretty cool and so did we!!!Here is the Gorilla looking right at my dad. Crazy that all there was between us is this peice of glass. We literally could have touched him. It was sooooo cool!!Macie and my dad taking one last look at him. He seriously had the saddest looking eyes. You just wanted to give him a hug and set him free. It was a fun trip to the zoo even though it was blazing hot!!

The Last of Cleveland

Here are a few of the last things that we did before leaving Cleveland. We hit up our favorite spot to feed the ducks. When this duck wouldn't eat the bread and kept hissing at us, we wondering why...Then she stood up and we saw this...(notice the eggs). We decided that we should probably leave her alone after that.

We went to a hot air balloon show that we supposed to be awesome!! It was not! It was totally LAME!! All it was, was 3 balloons in a parking lot that blew up and then never even took off! Waste of time! But hey, we got a family pic out of it! They really liked the noise!We thought that we should hit up our favorite water park one last time, so we went to Kalahri!! Here are the girls enjoying the water!! And here is Geoff going down a slide. I love this picture. It makes me laugh!
A little family pic while we waited for the park to open.Geoff's parents with the girls!We went to Chagrin Falls while Geoff's parents were in town.

Macie made a money man out of all of her money....pretty cool and creative I thought!

We said goodbye to some AMAZING friends!! Life will definitely not be the same without these guys just down the street!!

Life

So it has been awhile since I posted anything. Life has been a little crazy around here. We have spent the last 4 months trying to decide what we are doing with our life and then once we figured that out, we needed to find a job. So, in March we started the mad search for a job, flew Geoff to a few interviews, and then waited and waited and waited to hear back from any of them. We heard from several that they wanted him, but then someone would be out of town or the Dr. would be to busy or something. Anyways....graduation came and went and we were still there in Ohio just waiting to find something.
Finally the phone call came...we got a job in Denton, TX. They wanted Geoff to go to a training in 3 weeks and then start right after that. So, we got the phone call on Thursday, May 26th and we were packing the moving truck one week later on June 6th. It was fast, but we are just thankful that we have a job and we were able to find a place to live in such a short amount of time.
We are now living in Denton, TX and are all moved in and getting to know the area. It is SUPER hot here and it hard because everyone stays inside. You NEVER see anyone outside unless they are at a pool. We are adjusting to our new life and are excited to see what the future holds!!!

I will post pics of the house and things once I catch up on all of the other blogging that I need to do!!
