So here are photos of our new home for the next 5 or so months....The Residence Inn in Midland, Texas!!
For those of you who didn't know we were moving so soon....we didn't either. We found out the Tuesday before Christmas that we were going to be in the Midland area for a work project beginning the 27th of December through May (hopefully) or longer when we will move to Lubbock for BEG to start school.
We headed to Abilene for Christmas on the evening of the 22nd, had a wonderful visit with his family and then drove to Dallas Sunday afternoon the 26th where we caught a late flight to Midland. Once in Midland we rented a car and drove 1.5 hours further west to Pecos where we stayed at the Best Western and worked all of last week. We got home Friday am (the 31st) and immediately begin taking down Christmas decorations, doing laundry, packing up our clothes and the pets belongings, doing Christmas with my family and celebrating the New Year! It was a crazy 52 hours but we managed to get everything done and even left at a reasonable time this morning without being rushed!!
We pulled out of Shreveport at 11:15am and pulled into the hotel parking lot at 9:02pm, not to bad considering we stopped 2 times for quick pit stops (my husband couldn't even get out of the Shreveport city limits before we had to stop), twice to let RHETT move around and in Abilene to have a quick supper with BEG's folks.
Here are some pics of our new digs. Not too bad but a hard fall from our 3,000 square foot house! We re-arranged some furniture and I think we will all learn to love our new "home".
George hasn't stopped investigating his new digs while
RHETT just wants to sleep
We are going to try to make the best of our time out here by frequenting the drive in (yes!! they still have drive in movie theatre's..so excited) next to the hotel, going down to Big Bend for a long weekend and just hanging out and enjoying each others company. I'm super excited about having the option of a daily maid service and breakfast!!!
2011 hasn't started the way we had planned (not that we had anything planned but living in an extended stay hotel with both pets in Midland, Texas never crossed my mind!!!) but we are extremely thankful for our jobs and each other no matter where we are!! We have a lot of planned things to look forward to in 2011 and I'm sure many unplanned things but either way we are super excited to see what the new year has in store for us!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful beginning to the new year!
