Good-bye, Hello

So I have officially moved on to my new life. Thursday, Bryony and I made the trek cross-country to Adam, Kika and Greg House and the apartment that is larger than our entire house. I am trying hard to be excited, for Adam's sake, and Bryony's and mine, but I can't help but feel very sad about leaving my friends and my life behind.

But alas! persevere, I shall! Yesterday was spent recuperating from the hours of entertaining Bryony on the plane, trying to keep her from kicking and grabbing fellow passengers, and trying to figure out how to deal with the older gentleman in front of us reaching around and fondling my leg. Yes, it was a very strange flight indeed. Bryony took two long naps yesterday, although she insisted on awaking at 7:00am when Daddy woke up for work. Crazy girl is a morning person. *sigh*

This morning everyone woke up around 5:30am when Kika decided she needed to be let out. Bryony started getting restless and wanted to be up as well, and I fought like hell to get back to sleep. Evidently Adam could not return to sleep, so he decided to go for a run, start laundry, make breakfast and clean. He put me to shame as I lay there in bed, trying desperately to snooze through Bryony's 7:30am cries for attention. Finally got up around 9:30 or so and had a lazy morning as we watched cable tv and planned our day. Ended up going to the local beach--yes, there are inland beaches in Texas!!--and then shopped for groceries and got a car wash (Bryony's first--the expression on her face was priceless) before heading home. Then some dinner, wine and alone time for Mum and Dad before Dad fell asleep on the couch, snoring loudly as I type this now. (evil laughter)

Good day had by all. Will assume this is an omen for very good days to come.

Hello.
