What can I say other than, "Wow!"? It has been a fast-paced, fun, scary, emotional past two weeks.
Greg and I were on our cruise (to Cozumel and Progreso) from Saturday, the 6th through Thursday the 11th. We had a blast and got really sunburned! We now have peeling skin to prove it!
My mom and grandmother picked us up at the cruise terminal at 9:45 a.m. and we went immediately home and packed a bag for Kyle and loaded the car. We left our house at 10:45 a.m. We took a detour around Houston to go through College Station because traffic was already at a slow crawl on I-45. Greg noticed that the car was overheating (in NW Houston on Hwy 290) and we stopped at a Wendy's for lunch. There was an auto repair place right next door.
It turns out that the radiator in our car was cracked and it took about 3 hours to have it replaced. So we (Greg, Kyle, my mom, my grandmother and our dog, Sophie) sat in the waiting room of the car repair place for 3 hours. Thank goodness it was air-conditioned and the restrooms were clean!
We got on the road again a little before 4 and headed home. We drove through College Station and Waco and made it home to Duncanville at 9:30 p.m. Eleven hours of driving with a 7-month-old, a dog, your mother-in-law, your grandmother-in-law and your hysterical wife may have been too much for the average man to take. Greg handled it very well. He is my rock and I love him for that.
We have been here at my parent's house in Duncanville for the past week. We are doing well and are very comfortable. Kyle has his own little room with a crib and Greg and I are next door in my old room.
We have gotten to spend time with our friends and family which has been wonderful. My 28th birthday was this past Monday and it turned out to be really special thanks to Greg's family and my family.
I'll update with any news that we have soon!
