5 Months Old!

Yesterday Ripley turned 5 months old. Where does the time go? She is getting sooo big! And she is such a happy baby, her favorite things to do are smile & laugh, it's awesome! And she loves turning on the charm, especially to strangers when we're out and about....they eat it up!

Here are a few of my favorite recent pic's of her:

Everything is Bigger in Texas!


Why am I talking about Texas you ask? Well only because it's gonna be our new home!!
Yep, you heard it right....we're moving to Austin, Texas.
Ripley is sooo getting
pink cowboy boots!

As some of you already knew, Matt decided to start looking for another job and since EA is really the only option in Orlando, we knew we would be moving. So we decided to target Austin, TX since they have more opportunities for Matt there and also because we've heard it's an awesome place to live by so many people. And it turns out those people were right, because when Matt went out there for his interview, he loved it!

So here's the run down: his last day at EA was Friday. This week I'm headed out there for the first time with Ripley, my Dad & Joanne to check out the area and to find us a place to live (Matt's staying here to hold down the fort). So I'm really excited to see the area and can't believe I'm moving to a place I've never been before, man, that's trust, huh? This will also be Ripley's first plane ride, OH BOY! Thankfully we got a direct flight, so I'm hoping it will be nice & easy....or at least somewhat easy : )

Matt's first day at his new gig will be Oct. 15, unless we get out there sooner. So we'll probably be moving around the first week of Oct. I'll be sure to send everyone our new address once we have one. So it's all moving pretty fast and the hardest part of this whole ordeal is going to be selling our house, since most of you know the market isn't too great, especially for Seller's in Florida, UGH. So wish us luck with that!

Stay tuned for more info after I return from our trip. Will Ripley win everyone on our plane over with her million dollar smile or will she make people cringe by showing them how loud she can get when she cries? Let's hope it's the first one!
