Travels

Carter and I have been on quite an adventure these past few days. We left Missouri for Salt Lake City on April 8th. Mom and Dad were meeting us there to look for housing for when we move. Carter did well on his first plan ride, and did not make a sound on the plane!! I was so excited! When we landed, Carter got to meet his Grandpa Barney and Aunt Steffany for the first time. We then drove to The Red Iguana for some good Mexican food. When we arrived at the restaurant, Uncle Jason jumped out of the bushes. It was such a surprise because we did not think he was going to make the drive down from Montana. It was so much fun getting to see him, and letting him meet Carter (they are good friends now). The next day I left Carter with Uncle Jason and Aunt Steffany and went out house shopping with Mom and Dad. We found the home of our dreams (well, not really, but with a little TLC it will be close), and put on offer down on it. Carter did so well with Jason and Steff, Thank you so much for taking good care of my little man. The next day we did some major shopping, can we say IKEA!!! That store was crazy huge and so exciting (Here we come Jessica, it will be great!)
We left Utah and headed to Durango last Saturday to see Andrea, Ian, and the Kids. It was my first time meeting Aiden. He is a doll, and super super chubby! Andrea fed us super well, and we had a great time sharing the boy's first Easter with them. The Easter Bunny was even able to find Carter there, so that was nice.
On Tuesday we left for Dallas. We spent Tuesday night at a hotel in Amarillo, Texas. We arrived in Dallas on Wednesday evening, which is where we now are, visiting Carter's Great Mema. Mema had no idea Carter and I were with Mom and Dad, it was fun seeing her surprised face when we walked in the door. Tomorrow we will be leaving for Austin to see Grandpa. Carter and I will be making our journey back to Missouri on Monday the 20th.
Carter is doing well with all this traveling, and I am very proud of him. I have enjoyed having Mom and Dad around to help take care of him, we will miss them a lot. The great news is that our offer was accepted on the house, so hopefully we will be seeing Mom and Dad more this next year in SLC.
