Day uno under the sun...

First things first...We sold our house! For loads less than we bought if for, and lots less than we originally listed it. But thankfully, John’s work met us in the middle mula wise. So in the end we feel happy with how the whole thing worked out. I am soooo glad to be done with all the showings, shotty realtors, and the stress that went with selling our shack.

Second... We found a furnished apartment in Houston to live in for a few months for when John gets back to biznass...(If we don’t decide to become Bahamian beach bums working at a banana standJ) It's right outside the city and just a metro ride away from more museums, parks, and people watching than I could pack in a parenthood, let alone a summer. It will give us a chance to look around for the perfect spot for a permanent address. It has a pool and a spare bed , so if anyone wants to jump on a plane later this summer, I’d be ecstatic:)

And third... After three days of driving around cities we’ve been looking at online the last few months, I think we've narrowed down where we want to live in Houston. The place I thought I would love to live ended up being GHETTO ...something that I couldn’t quite tell from the google maps:) The new place we like in person is called Cyprus. A pretty community, close to the LDS temple, and only 12 minutes to John’s work.

So now that we've caught up on all the Houston house happenings, Let's go to the beach baby!...

We arrived yesterday at the airport to the sound of a live reggae band playing and a pirate putting on a performance for the passerbys. A perfect way to start the first day of our vacay!

The condo is more than we could have asked for! We found it on Homeaway.com. I highly recommend that site if you're looking for a place to stay on your vacation. Here is a fish's view of our new headquarters... taken from the comfort of my floaty. (with this super cool waterproof camera...in case you are in the market:)

Ahhh, the water here is heavenly. Like Hawaii's sea water- with just a tad more cyan.

My beach baby is loving the humongous sand box in his backyard and taking short swims with his mom and dad.

Our condo's private beach. Mostly locals live here, and I guess this view is old news to them b/c it has just been mostly the three of us soaking up the sun.

Here is our photo shoot of where we will be sleeping for the next month.

I love all the colorful artwork!

And speaking of artwork...These are my new "breast" friends. This risqué piece hangs in the master bedroom.

James's new pet, Pete, who lives on our porch.

People have said we are going to get board being stuck on a small island for a month. But to me, taking things at a sea turtle's pace every so often keeps this sister afloat:)

You better all blog your summer fun too. B/c if you are like me, you are all going to need your beachy bloggidy blogs in the winter when the sun don't shine:)
