We are settled into our home in New Mexico. It's definitely a great upgrade from the apartments we've lived in. It's nice to have more space! We are still getting used to the cold weather here. We don't have any snow at our house, but it's very cold. (we miss the warm sun in South Carolina) We will be heading to Idaho for Christmas on the 23rd. I am so excited!!! It will be nice to see everyone and Grey is excited to see her cousins.
Grey turned 2 on November 27th. We had cupcakes with some friends and she got lots and lots of presents! She wore her birthday dress that I made for her. It was so cute. She got a play kitchen, table and chairs set, barbies, doll with a puppy (or as Grey says it...pups) clothes, puzzles, books, movies and I can't remember what else. She had a great time. This year she decided to eat her cake with a fork, which was complete opposite of last year. She's so funny! Now, everyday, she has to tell me that she is 2. She is growing up so fast. She talks A LOT, but its great. I can't wait for my family to see her again and see how much she has changed.
We also went on a cruise before we moved. We had a blast! I did get a little sea sick, but not enough for it to ruin our trip. We swam a lot, ate a lot (I had chocolate lava cake every night), lounged a lot; it was pretty much just 4 days of not having to worry about a thing. It was so relaxing. We already want to go again.
Well, I know there is more that has happened but all I can think about right now is how excited we are to go home! My family and Ryan's family are so important to me. I've missed everyone so much. I haven't really felt homesick until we moved here to New Mexico. I was blessed to have met some great friends in South Carolina, whom we miss dearly. I don't know if we will ever see them again, but they will always be a part of our lives.
Love you all!!! and to my family....See you soon!!!
