A little over a week ago, we made a much anticipated trip back home to visit our families and friends! As mentioned in the previous posts, Rob and I have been in the process of getting our home ready to put on the market, well it finally happened. We spent most of last week+ getting as many projects as we could before we headed home. We met with Mike, our agent, and Rob's signed the papers to get the MLS for the house started Tuesday Feb 8th. Rob and I decided to take a moment to further develop our 'religious' sides Wednesday evening before leaving town and buried a statue of St Joseph which is supposed to help sell our home more quickly!
The next day we headed out of the state to adventure into the artic known as Kansas. We were so fortunate the roads were minimally icy and we had no difficulty on the road. I decided to try out my christmas gift from Robby, it really does make snoozing in the car much more comfortable.
All passengers were pretty happy campers for the duration of this trip, okay well Rob doesn't look quite as happy about driving as Porter & I are.
Friday evening, February 11th my sister hosted an amazing bachelorette party for me. For anyone that knows me, I love many things...namely 80's parties, dancing, 80's music and margaritas.
I was fortunate to have all these things and to celebrate with my family & friends. Everyone participated in the attire and it was so much fun seeing what people came up with. We also took a party bus around KC where we ventured to a pole dancing class. Thank goodness I don't have those photos in hand yet as I do recall there were a few embarrasing moments.
So in reflecting in my experience at Pole works I can now safely say the following:
1. I need to keep my job as a physical therapist because I wouldn't survive dancing on the pole
2. Cut those ladies some slack because it is a whole heck of a lot harder than it looks. I believe I was experiencing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) for the following three days, day two I could hardly move my arms.
Saturday came and I somehow wasn't feeling too badly! I was blessed to have another great friend host a bridal shower. Later that evening we got to celebrate at Nate & Staci's home for Chase's second birthday. It was fun to see how excited he was opening all of his gifts. We got Chase a little Elmo that sings and danced to the hoky poky and Chase was so stinkin cute dancing around.
All in all, it was a fabulous trip home and continues to solidify our desires to get closer to home as soon as possible!!!
Well that is a wrap from Austin!
Love,
Rob, Ash, & Porter
I never heard this about St. Joseph - that would have been helpful to know 6 months ago! :) Does it work if I have someone else go to the house and bury it for me?!
