We're in Texas!

We made it safely to Texas, Weeha! 

Packin' up the U-Haul. Just about ready to hit the road. Until next year beautiful home.

A little shot of our girl during this drive. She did amazing! 

Goodbye Florida, Hello Alabama!  

...and Hello Mississippi!

Then Louisiana! This is when we started having good laughs. I had the hubs pronounce the French names on the signs such as "Maringuoin" which means mosquitos and "Grosse Tete" which means big head lol!

Above, you see a lonnnnng bridge..

We were driving over the bayou. The swampland of Louisiana. Eek!

Finally, Allen Texas. Amen! We've reached our destination :)

When we pulled into the rink's parking, I spotted the team bus. Adam will spend many hours on these wheels this season. Adam went to get our apartment key and the coach wanted him to jump on the ice, so he did! Then, it was off to get his physical done. After that, we unpacked the U-Haul and were happy to return that thing. 

I believe that tonight is Adam's first game this pre-season. It's home so I'll be there!! I'm so excited for him. It's been quite the year so now all good & positive things our wayyyy!

**Sending out good vibes to all my hockey buddies who have been affected by the hockey lock-out. 

Hockey Contract

 

One of the biggest, most exciting events around here lately... My husband's official hockey contract!! After a year of staying by my side day and night while I beat leukemia and went through a bone marrow transplant, Adam's been signed as one of the Allen Americans players. It was an exciting day, to see the culmination of such a challenging year and the start of a brand new one. We hooped and hollered as we soaked up the good news!!! God is good...bringing us to this point after such a twisty road of unknowns. I'm so proud of my husband for helping me through every turn. Such an amazing guy and talented hockey player!

 



Now, we prepare to make the transition. It will be very different settling into life in Texas but we're pumped (YAY!). We got our hands on the schedule and are gearing up for the season opener which is on October 20th. Feeling super thankful for this upcoming season...

This is where I will be watching my honey play. We are grateful to be back into the swing of things with hockey and be TOGETHER. We've gotten a few great little nuggets of hangout time with some of our friends over the summer, who we've been missing so much during our time in Canada. So great to laugh and catch up!! As we leave our home and Florida, they will need to come visit us "in-Texas-baby"!

Well, that about covers it!
