Balmedie Beach

Last weekend we had such warm and sunny weather that we put on our swimsuits and headed to Balmedie Beach. It was a nice, clean wide beach with pretty sand dunes and water along the coastline right outside of Aberdeen. We stayed for a few hours and had a wonderful time playing football and even got in the water for a bit although it was still so cold! What gorgeous weather it was!!

All Packed up! Sea Container Shipment is on its Way

After 3 days of the movers boxing up items...181 boxes later...our full sea shipment container is on its way. The movers estimated it would take about 6-8 weeks to cross the pond...hopefully it will be at our new home when we arrive!! We plan on being back in Texas by early July.

Bubbly and Brunch at the Marcliffe

During the gorgeous weather we had in May we were able to have lunch on the patio at the Marcliffe! I really enjoy having lunch there as it is right next to the boy's school and it is such a lovely atmosphere with good food and champagne!!  I will miss lunches with these other Mom's from the ISA...clockwise...

Pretty Days for GOLF!

Quick Last Minute Trip To Houston

On Saturday, May 12 we decided to make a quick trip to Houston for some house hunting as we just found out we would be moving back in the summer! It was a quick trip, but we managed to see our Moms for Mother's Day and found a house in Greatwood (Sugar Land, TX). We met up with family and a few friends, but it was definitely a quick trip with not much time to catch up. It was great to see everyone! We accomplished quite a bit and left on Thursday, May 17. It was nice to feel some Texas heat and eat at some Mexican food and at a nice Steakhouse!! Now off to prepare for our move back in July!!
