Road Trip, Rental Houses, and Wedding Plans...WONDERFUL! Part 1

That's right, folks!  We Warrens have been a tab-bit busy these last couple of months!  It has been wonderful, but also a little crazy! 

Well, let's get started...

We got back from Israel at the beginning of November and went straight to my nieces wedding in Dallas.  I thought we had some pics, but can't find them.  Just trust me when I say that the wedding was beautiful!!!


Our trusty suburban (1995 model) is great, but we are a bit concerned about taking it on a long road trip. So Dayton and Monty spent quite a bit of time finding us a new (used) car.  They found one and it is beautiful!!!  We should be able to travel in safety and style.  WOO HOO!!  ROAD TRIP!!!!!!

We spent some time with family and then on December 5th we headed to Virginia to spend time with Devin and her family.  We had a terrific time and got to meet most of Devin's family.  They had one day where people came to the house to meet Barrett and one night we all went to Devin's Aunt and Uncles' house to play volleyball in the barn.  WOW!  It was so cold, but we all had a great time!




We spent around 8 days with everyone in Virginia and then headed down to North Carolina to meet up with some friends from Alaska.  They were in N. Carolina to see family and were kind enough to invite us to come and meet their family, too.  We stayed one night with them and had a grand time.  The kids rode horses,  played basketball (Barrett and Dayton made quite a show) and they stayed up late playing Clue.  Devin says she will never play Clue with the Warren kids.  They take it way too seriously!!!

We got up early the next morning to the smell of pancakes!  Now let me tell you,  there is nothing better than waking up to the wonderful smell of PANCAKES!!!  YUM!  Had a terrific breakfast and then had to hit the road for Oklahoma.  Said goodbye and loaded up the car.

Oklahoma HERE WE COME!!!  We made it to Monty's folks in Oklahoma!  YEA!!  This is so much fun!  Barrett's grandparents are so glad to meet Devin and her family.  We had a sweet little surprise while we were there.  RUTHIE (our tiny, adorable yorkie)  had puppies!!!  She delivered 3 pups, but one was stillborn.  That was sad, but we focused on the blessing of the other two pups!  Here they are...

Ok, this post is probably long enough.  We will pick where we leave off on the next post.  We will be in TEXAS by that time.  Texas--there is just something about TEXAS!!!!  We'll talk soon!
