A Good Day

This past Saturday Emelie and I hit the road and spent the day in Vidor. First we went to Heber's house. I had a check to take to him. We bought his car, a 2007 Haundai Sonata - way more comfy than my little Neon. We spent a couple of hours there playing with Jace, visiting with Heber and Jarom, and going to Wal-Mart. I took Jarom and got him a new white shirt, and a tie for church. He also needed a new belt since he's gotten so skinny...well then he needed new shoes to tie it all together! I'm told he looked nice at church on Sunday!

After we left Heber's house we went to Sarah and Kevin's house and visited there for a few hours. We played with Claire, and just chilled. It was very relaxing. About the time we were going to leave a storm moved through. It was just enough to wait it out, but it brought some much needed rain, so we were thankful for it.

After we left Sarah and Kevin's house we headed to Silsbee. The plan was to eat at Casa Ole, but half of Silsbee was out of power and a lot of the businesses were closed. We ended up literally driving all the way around Silsbee and ended up back at Chili's! It was great as usual!

We also had gone to Wal-Mart. Milton needed something to fix Megan's headlight, and I ended up getting a couple of Nintendo DS games for my "new" Nintendo DS Megan gave me. I got her the new Nintendo DSi for her birthday, so I inherited her old one. It's pretty fun, though I played it so long the other day I got a Migraine headache! The DSi is really neat! It's a game system, a camera, and you can access the internet from it - very cool!

Independence!

We had planned a big Fourth of July thing with the family - get together, cook out, hang out, pop some fireworks - but nobody seemed to want to do it. We ended up all meeting Thursday night at Chile's in Silsbee and eating dinner together. It would have been perfect if Megan had been there - she had to work. It was a lot of fun though, and we decided that would be our get together.

Heber, Jarom, Jace and I went to Vidor last night to take some of Heber's stuff, and for us to see where his apartment is and to see the apartment itself. It's actually a duplex and is very nice. It's so brand new that it's not even complete yet. It's going to be much better for Heber to be WAY closer to work, and Sarah and Kevin, and Marcus are right there too. Plus - it's SO MUCH closer to everything. I know it's even bigger than that though...it's progress for Heber to be ready to make this move. I'm glad of that - for him - not for me! It has been a blessing for us to have Heber and Jace at the house. We've had an opportunity to get to know and really love Jace, and I do love him so much. He's a choice little boy. Sooooo sweet! I'm going to miss them both.
