All Settled

We finally moved into our house 3 weeks ago and have slowly settled in. I was painting walls within hours of closing on the house. I am always anxious to make a place feel like home, and couldn't wait to paint! Thankfully Cody has wonderful friends close that helped him move us. Cody did say that's the last time we'll move ourselves so it must have been rough! We have enjoyed making it our own, making small repairs along the way. It's nice to have a place of our own that we can do whatever we want to!

Last weekend I was offered a job I couldn't refuse. I was asked to babysit Nolan Ryan's grandbaby "Nolan" at his home in Fort Worth. Nolan's daughter Wendy was in town and needed a sitter for a few hours so she asked another friend of mine for her recommendation for a sitter. The whole family was very nice and down to earth. I couldn't get up the courage to ask for an autograph (which I'm still hearing about at home) but it was such a neat experience meeting him that I didn't much care.

We loved giving out candy to the trick or treaters this weekend for the first time ever. Cody laughed every time our door bell rang because he said my face lit up:) We went to a Halloween party after that at our friends house just down the street. It's been wonderful having friends so close and always having friends and family stop by. I'll post pictures as soon as I find my camera!
