Hello July in Texas

Sunday we checked out Grace Covenant Church in North Austin.  Our friends go there so we thought we would give it a try.  It seems like a great church to be apart of and we will definitely go back. And check out the view by the church!!  WE LOVE AUSTIN! (I had to include Adam and his bowl of Watermelon...literally his favorite thing about summer)

After church we went to brunch at Kerbey Lane Cafe and it was delicious.  I got the pancake special, which was apples and caramel cooked into my pancakes!!  I love this place because you can get a single pancake, a short stack or a full stack.  Literally the BEST pancake I have ever had!  We will definitely go back!

We made it, one week in Austin, and we are still alive!  We finally got Adams truck inspected, Texas tags, and we both have Texas licenses.  Getting close to being Texans (well for Adam, I'm already a Texan).  After running errands in the Texas heat, we stopped for some AMAZING shaved ice at Shaved Ice Island.  One of the fabulous food you can get from a food truck in Austin!!  

This week Adam had orientation for the Police department.  I went too and met some of the other police spouses/family.  It was great to be included and involved in this process this time around.  Winston didn't really have anything like this.  APD has a "family academy" which involves the family in events and fun stuff so you can see what your officer is doing.  Most of the other officers are from other states and some are from other cities in Texas.  Many of them have 5-20 years of law enforcement experience.  I know this will be difficult on both Adam and myself over the next 16 weeks but God will help us get through it.  Adam WILL graduate the academy on October 28th (because I have faith he will excel and make it through).

We finally got boxes unpacked and pictures on the walls!  I will be posting some pictures of our place soon.  We still have a lot to do but we have done a lot to make it look like a home.  We are going to Maypearl, Texas to visit my Mimi Darline for July 4th.  Hoping to get some rest and relaxation before Adam starts the academy.  I hope everyone has a fun and safe July 4th!
