and we're back!

Technically, we have been back in Florida for a little over a week now, but we have still been on vacation here. We are finally getting back into the swing of things this week and so I also will get back to posting on this much neglected blog :)

I guess we really haven't ever had a routine life here. Every week has been different and we have been away from Pensacola as much as or more than we have actually been here. So really we aren't even just "getting back into the swing of things", we are finally getting to the swing of things and discovering what daily life looks like for us in Pensacola.

We spent about 11 days in Texas for Christmas. It was really fun to be with family and friends, and hard not to be able to see everyone that we know and love there. But for those of you who we didn't get to see, maybe thats a sign that you should come vacation in Florida with us for a little while :)

Kyndall gave us a great Christmas present and hitched a ride over to Pensacola with us (we literally picked her up off the side of the road) and spent almost a week with us! We cooked together, shopped around Pensacola and Alabama, kyaked, and ate at a vegan restaurant together. B didn't have any work the week that she was here, as he was still waiting on training to start, so he got to spend the whole week with us too! However, he did pass on the vegan food-- he's too much of a carnivore for that :)

So, we felt like we got an extra week of vacation with Kyndall visiting and were so spoiled by her helping hands.

B is back to work today...he got a temporary job until he starts training on Jan 23. Basically he and a few others are helping to clear out an office building for rennovation. While he is at work I get to go to sewing lessons that B, my mom and mama carter got me for Christmas! What an awesome gift!
