Back in Business!!!

Well, we finally made it Nebraska and are settling in quite nicely. I am excited to get back to blogging regularly and keeping you all up to date on our many adventures. We had a very long and exciting road trip (it took us three days!) from Mississippi to Nebraska, but we made it to our new home and have finally have our stuff unpacked and organized. Here are just a few pictures from out road trip to the Midwest:

We were able to move in to our house about two days after getting to Offutt AFB, which I'm told is very lucky. The bad part about it all was that the moving company wasn't going to get our stuff to us until a little over three weeks later. Not fun! Everyone here was so kind and lent us some dishes, towels, and other basic necessities so we could survive until the moving truck came.

Soon after moving in we spent the 4th of July with our good friends Brad and Erica (they live only two hours away!) and had fun just relaxing and grilling some delicious food. The next weekend I was able to take Zoey and go to Wisconsin to visit my parents, and as an added bonus I was able to see my cousin Brooke's family AND my best friend Gina.

About a week later mom and I drove back to Omaha and she helped me get the house unpacked and decorated...thanks mom! It was really fun having her here to help out with Zoey and all of the moving in chores that I absolutely hate. Because she is so amazing, we were able to get everything unpacked in 3 days! Crazy right?!

Before mom left I had the chance to audition for the show Children of Eden at the local theatre and I was fortunate enough to be cast. We have been rehearsing for a few weeks now and it has been a blast. We open on Sept. 16th and run for three weekends so if you are in the area you should come. I have been cast as part of the Snake, a storyteller, and Yonah. I can't tell you how much a have missed being on stage. I am so happy to be doing what I love and meeting wonderful new people. Billy has stepped in as super dad and watches Zoey while I am at rehearsal. Those two really have become the best of friends.

Coco has also had some fun here in Omaha. She has a little girls who comes by to walk her and play with her. That coupled with the trips to the dog park and the bunnies in the back yard makes for a very happy dog.

On a completely different note...I've lost about 20 lbs since my last post! I have been working really hard at keeping up with my diet and exercise regimen and I am seeing results. I still have a little ways to go until I hit my ultimate goal, but it is so fun to slowly watch the numbers on the scale go down and down. I am starting to be too skinny for my skinny jeans. Woot!

Well, Zoey is up from her nap so I should probably wrap it up. I'll post pictures of the house and the area as soon as I am feeling better (Zoey and I got sick). Until next time...
