Indiana to Louisiana to Texas

After a flight delay of 2.5 hours Friday, I arrived back in Indy from Dallas, TX a little after 6 pm. Devon picked me up and we met Mom and Gary for dinner -El Jaripeo! :)
From there we visited the Erekson's and as tired as I was I think I made sense at least part of the conversation. As we left their place after 10 pm, Devon and I knew we would miss the Erekson's a lot! We don't think we got to spend enough time with you guys!
We finally arrived home that night. This was the first time I had seen the house since all of our things were packed up and loaded and hulled off to some mover's head quarters for an undetermined duration of time.
The place was echoing, but I was glad to see the boys and they were glad to see me. :) We had a lot of work to do to prep for our road trip the next day though. We had a few things to pack that we were planning to take with us. It ended up being very late before we actually got to bed.
We woke up at an early enough hour Saturday morning and met my Dad for breakfast at IHOP. Just enough breakfast to make you want to take a morning nap.....and then we got into separate vehicles to drive over 1000 miles over a 2-day span.
We drove about 11 hours to Bastrop, Louisiana where Dev's Dad and some extended family lives. We had a few stops, but all in all we made really good time. If only Scout hadn't got sick THREE times on the way down.... Poor boy! I did get to see an alligator which apparently is a frequent site through Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana, but I don't frequently see it - so it was pretty cool.
It was great to see Dev's Dad and Grandparents and Aunt and Uncle and cousins and second cousins ....and their dogs. :) It really was and they fed us well too! We left there late in the morning Sunday and travelled about 6 or 7 hours the rest of the way to Ft. Hood, Texas. We checked into our hotel room. We still had some daylight though so I showed Dev the neighborhoods I had liked when I drove down the previous weekend. He agreed that they looked pretty good. We headed back for the night and made a game plan for the next day.
The house hunting was not all that thrilling Monday morning, but we did end up finding to prospective houses! Hopefully everything goes smoothly this week and we are able to find a house and move in by next week! We have to move fast!
Look for some new pics of the dogs on the road trip in the next couple of days and hopefully some pics of a new house!
We'll keep you posted!
