Retirement Goodness...

We went to College Station at the beginning of Dec for our big annual family reunion. We had a great weekend there, and one of the neat things that we got to do was head out to the land that my mom and dad purchased for their retirement. It was so fun!!

Yes, they are retiring to God's country in just a couple very short years...and they are well on their way to make it happen. We drove right outside of College Station to see the land that was just cleared, and looks primed to put a pretty retirement home on. :)

It is a understatement to say that we are more than thrilled to have them so much closer to us. Today they are five hours away, and to think that they will be 1 1/2 hours is just amazing!! We are over the moon! :) We wish they were moving tomorrow!!

I am also just excited for them for this time in their lives. My mom retired last year, and I think once my dad retires they will just have a ball together. I mean this is what you work for, and no one deserves an incredible retirement more than them. They are such hard workers and have accomplished so much. I am very happy for them, and excited that they get to enjoy this wonderful time in their lives!!

So hopefully when the boys go to Texas A&M in about 15-16 short years, they will have their grandparents close by for a good home cooked meal on Sundays! HA! :)

The land is cleared and ready to build.....
Say hi to your neighbors on the right Mom and Dad. :)

Awww......Braden is VERY excited and he loved being out there...even though it was super cold and windy. :)
