Packing UP

Chase and I began packing last week and it is now all we do in our spare time. I have learned quit about our relationship in just the past couple of days. The manner in which we both would prefer to pack is very very different. I am one the biggest procrastinators and honestly did not want to start packing till, well as late as possible. I fee like living in your space as long as possible without boxes is ideal. Chase on the other hand wanted to have the entire house packed yesterday. I guess we are good combination I remind him that we need to leave the things that we need, and he pushed me to let go of my silly sentimental feelings of wanting to leave every thing the same and actually get stuff done.

Up untill we started packing it really felt so surreal that we are leaving in 3 weeks. Now that I am surrounded by boxes it is finally beginning to sink in that we are moving. Please be praying for us I can start to feel stress building and I really want this to be an enjoyable adventure not a stressful one.

Forth of July in Port O'Connor

I actually took this picture right before we stalled for an hour in the middle of the Ocean!

These are the boats we spent all weekend on!

Our Flag cake we made, it was delicious!

This Forth of July was particularly fun! We have 15 people staying in a four bedroom house, so it was nice and cozy, lots of bonding time. Chase's uncle Kirk and Aunt Lorie are nice to have us all down, we always have fun when we are with them!

My favorite part of the whole weekend was when we all pulled up on to the beach and just hung out in water and played horse shoes on the beach (I found out that I am horrible at horse shoes!). I was honestly just so excited to finally be on a beach. Every year Chase tells me we are going to get to go the beach, but it rarely happens happens because we usually end up catching so many fish. I have come to love fishing with Chase but I always love the beach.

My other favorite part of fourth of July in Port O'Connor is the incredible fireworks show that we get to watch from the Laguarta's neighbors house. Every year they throw a big party and even though we do not know many people, we always have a great time. The show would definitely not be complete without the comments from the Laguarta family on every single firework. Overall is was great weekend I only wish we could spend more time in Port O'Connor.
