Surprise, Surprise, We Moved Again!

Well it may or may not come as a surprise to you all that we relocated again! This job takes us all over the place. Don't worry though we didn't move too far this time. It was only a 7 hour drive, which no longer seems long for me. Anyways. Before we moved Robert and I had the opportunity to fly in to go to the first Lawrence Family Reunion. 

We got stuck at the the Dallas airport for a little longer than we had hoped because our flight was delayed. I felt bad because Robert's brother Thomas and his Fiancé Lindsey  were picking us up and they had to hang around and wait for us. We have the best family! I am the luckiest and have the best in-laws around! The family reunion was a blast! Robert's sister Jamie did an awesome job of pulling the whole thing together. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. We got to learn some family history, play games, had a fun run, and a family dance complete with a disco ball and fireworks! So fun!

All reunion pics were taken by Jamie!

Well the family reunion came to an end and it was back to work for Robert. We had a week left in Abilene. 

The Vivint Women's club called Elevate does events for the wives throughout the summer with opportunities to win lunches and hoodies and other things. We had one more challenge for the summer and it was to go to the movies dressed up as the movie we were seeing. We decided to take the kids to see Rio Two so we dressed up as Blue Birds. 

The funny thing is that the movie times got mixed up at the theatre so we ended up seeing the movie Planes Fire and Rescue.  I'm sure everyone was really confused as to why the kids faces were painted blue and why we were wearing Mardi Gras Masks. It was still a lot of fun. 

 Some of the team had already left and headed down to our new home in Beaumont, TX. It was nice that we knew we were moving this time around so we had some time to get everything packed and ready! I've gotten really good at packing this summer! I can fit our kitchen, bathroom, living room, and wardrobe into four totes and a suitcase! We only take the necessities. Robert is pretty darn good at getting everything, plus other people's things, to fit in our Camry and still leave sitting room for the two of us. It's our new talent. 

With limited time in Abilene I wanted to take Robert to the Fronteir Texas Museum. He really liked it! I enjoyed it the 2nd time around as well. 

We are loving it here in Beaumont. Our apartment is so stinking nice! Nicest apartments we have had thus far with this job!

It's pretty homey feeling. Beaumont is even hotter and more humid then Abilene was. I have completely given up on doing my hair. It's stays in a bun the majority of the time. We are ten minutes away from Louisiana and are right by the coast. Basically we are living In the bayou. Seriously though, Robert says some of the houses he knocks are on stilts and look like homes you would only see in movies. They have gators here which is freaky to me. And the bugs are as thick as can be. I've killed a spider a day so far. It's fun to be here though we have enjoyed it. 

Sorry this post is a novel and hopefully it makes sense. I'm posting from my phone because I don't have internet anymore. 

I'm coming home this weekend. I am bummed that summer is over and it's back to real life. Robert will be home at the end of August and then it's back to the grind for him. We are so blessed to have so many adventures! We love you all!
