one year goes by so quick

So here we go, I'm not sure how many times Ive tried to start a blog.. Ive been wanting to do this so for a long time so i could look back and remember all the wonderful things God had done for us, not that i need a reminder.. I know how much He blesses us, i see it everyday!!! but I'm going to try one more time. It has been one crazy year..so many things to thank God for. Im going to try to recap this past year and then do the day to day postingWhere do i start.. well, one Sunday afternoon while sitting on the couch at gramma Maggie's house watching CMT I got this crazy thought that it would be nice to live in TX, so with prayer, daddy started looking for work and sure enough he got a phone call. The Lord started tugging at my heart to look for a church (just in case) and again sure enough i found one, well better said the Lord lead me to one. We took a trip in July of 08 to visit fam and to get a feel for what it would be like to live there. We had a lot of fun visiting Bobby and Juls, meeting fam we, (me and the girls) had never met and seeing another side of TX I didnt know about. We liked it out here and what it could mean for the girls. Daddy had his interview with the AC company, and at the same time the Lord opened doors for him to meet with Pastor Bill from CCfort worth. We spent the 4th of July doing things we wouldn't have done, like lighting fireworks and spending the day at Whitney lake. We watched the big show from our car with the Contreras and it was so much fun..
So we went home and told everyone we were moving to TX, daddy had 3 weeks to get everything ready so he could leave and be in TX Aug. 1st. They had a going away party at grappys house and it was the saddest thing ever.. Its so hard to good bye. Me and the girls stayed in Cali and finished packing and getting rid of as much stuff as we could. Since it was going to be Isabels bday grampa Leonel took all of us(grama, tio and Diana) to Disneyland to celebrate. We stayed all day and waited for the firework, they were the loudest thing Ive ever heard. One the weekend of Isabels bday we had a pool party for her at tia Teres house, this was the first time daddy wasn't there to wish her a happy birthday. So sad.. On the other had, it was nice to have everyone over one more time, she got to invite some of her friends from church and school.
Well Sept 21st came around before i knew it and it was time to leave Cali.. my mom drove with me and my inlaws were hauling a truck with the rest of our stuff, K got to come along for the ride. Our first stop was in Tucson where we slept (in the car.. not very comfy) the next morning we saw that the trailer had broken and it needed to get fix. After hours of waiting, we took K in the car with us and keep driving, they were getting restless and that's not a good thing to be when we still had 20hrs to go. My in laws stayed till it was fixed. It was a very tight fit, imagine 3 big girls and a car seat, but we made it work. Besides we stopped often.. 6 girls in one car, there was no way that we could hold it..lol It was about 6 o'clock and we couldn't stand being in the car anymore, we were ALL tired, cranky and hungry so we stopped ..(again) in this really little town called Van Horn about 2 hours past El Paso, had some dinner and stayed in a hotel this time. After a shower and the thought of a bed we felt so much better. The next morning we woke up, went downstairs and had some breakfast and went on our way.. happy campers! On the road again, there we went... My in laws caught up to us that night and stayed in the hotel next to us and we didn't even know it.. there was no phone service in that town and for a couple of miles out. We stopped many more times to even count, but we finally made it home, sweet, sweet home. We finally got to see daddy after 6 weeks of being apart, that was the longest 6 weeks of my life.
