The adventure continues

Well we made it to El Paso.  We arrived last night after 8 or so long hours of driving, and 5 or so long hours of packing before.  It was rough but I am glad we made it.  Our apartment is super nice, clean and brand new.  We are all unpacked and its feeling pretty good!  El Paso is right on the Mexican boarder. . . and it feels like we are in Mexico.  Actually you can see the boarder line from the freeway.  It is going to take some getting used to but hopefully this can feel like home for the time we are here.

On Thursday, Preston woke me up really early and told me to get ready to go.  I had no idea what we were doing or where we were going but I got up and got ready.  We drove for about 3 hours and ended up at the beach in Corpus Christi.  We took a ferry and spent the day on an island called Port Aransas.  The weather was perfect and the water was super warm. It was so much fun to spend the day together, especially on the beach.  We counted it as a little first anniversary celebration since we aren't going to be able to do anything the day of.  I can hardly believe that we have spent almost a year being married... and we still like each other!  

  

I wasn't very happy to be woken up early!

Yay for the beach!!! It was so beautiful.

What a cute hubby!
