our home for the next few weeks until we find ourselves in a new place to call home.
We're spending our time settling in, enjoying our time together and remembering what life is like as an American family, while we sort our the details of our next adventure.
Speaking of adventure, I am quite happy we don't have to do another flight to Cartagena.
Remember when we traveled during the holidays and I shared {cough cough, bragged} what a fabulous little traveler our daughter was.
Well I am quite sure the universe decided to show me how it feels to be the parent of that baby on a flight.
And I was.
Lauren did fabulously on our first two flights. In fact, one woman made a comment that she got on the plane smiling and came off smiling. Then we boarded our final flight from Houston to Knoxville and she decided she was done. She screamed for the majority of the flight. Poor little bird was having problems with her ears, she was tired, and was just generally over the experience. I had to walk the aisle, having people stare and stand, bouncing her, for the majority of the flight. When we had to take our seats for landing, she was not happy. There was an elderly gentleman sitting right behind us. During the landing he said, "I've never had a headache this bad in my entire life".
That pretty much sums up that flight.
Matt has two weeks to adjust to our new lifestyle and heads to Texas to start work on March 3. While there he will find us an apartment, to live in while we begin the house hunt {again}. Movers will pack our house here and meet Matt in Houston to unload. The following weekend Matt will head back to Knoxville to meet Lauren and I for our big road trip.
That's our plan...
for now.
But for now, we're just enjoying America and trying to adjust to the idea that we are here to stay!
