Day 3- Houston!

We ate breakfast and quickly got packed up and back on the road.  We were determined to be to Houston before too late!  Beckam naps pretty well in the car as long as he can cuddle his bear! :)

We saw a lot of fields of these oil rigs.  The "cow fields" are different here :)

A couple of hours outside of Houston Beckam wouldn't calm down.  I figured he was just sick of being in the car.  He let us know he REALLY wasn't feeling well as he began throwing up.  We got off the road and pulled into a gas station to get him and his seat cleaned up.  The clerk wouldn't even give us any paper towels, and got upset at Christian for taking some TP from the bathroom!  We bought a roll and got out of there.  We spent the last 2 hours of driving "dealing" with that.  No fun!

Sam Houston even welcoming us in.

Welcome to Houston!

Shenna's cousin from the Woodlands area came down with her son to help us unpack the truck.  Along with several members of the ward.  The truck was empty in just an hour!

A pretty blurry picture, but here we are in front of our new home!

Jenny even brought us dinner and cute kitchen hand towels as a welcome gift!  So great to have family to help out!

Most of the rooms looked like this...or worse.  But we were able to get Beckam's pack 'n play set up and the rest of us on mattresses.

Sadly, the AC and half the power in the house went out!  It was a long night of 84 degrees in the house, but eventually morning came and we got to work. (Although with no power for half the home, it was more difficult, and no AC just sucked!)  Apparently the power company had misunderstood and turned OFF the power instead of just transferring the utilities into our name.  Just a small mess up :)  Once that got figured out, we were pretty set.  SO glad we didn't have to wake up and drive.  That made me happy.  Glad we made it to Houston safely.  We feel so blessed to have this experience and are so grateful for ALL that made this trip, packing and unpacking possible!  We're already feeling welcome in Houston!
