"Life is good, if we live in such a way to make it so.' . . . 'A good life' comes as a result of the way we do things, of the words we choose to say, and even of the kind of thoughts we choose to have... 'Wanting to' is the determining factor which leads us to lay hold upon the word of God and be happy. Perseverance in making correct decisions is what leads us to happiness." ~"True Happiness: A Conscious Decision," Ensign, Nov. 2005, 31~BenjamÃn De Hoyos

Cont.. Texas Story
So we are now in Texas all 5 of us. Sara and I arrived with are bags but unfortunately mom, dad and grandmas bags did not arrive until late that night. They had the hardest time trying to track down where exactly bags were. Every time they called US Airways it was a different time that their bags would be delivered to Dave and Tanya's house. They finally got mom and grandmas bag at around 11:30 at night. I don't think my dads got there until the next morning. We that was our big adventurous trip to Texas but we made it. I will post some picture in a few hours. I have to sort through them and pick the best ones.

Long Trip to Texas
Well I am officially here in Texas. The drive took 2 days. Sara, dad and I left at 4 am on Saturday the 22nd, we arrived in Midland, TX at 12am (Texas time). We would have arrived earlier but while we were eating lunch we got a phone call from mom. She said that her and grandma's flight from LAX to Las Vegas was delayed 40 mins. So we they got to Las Vegas they had missed there connecting flight to Dallas because US Airways didn't wait for the connecting flights to arrive. So when they got to Las Vegas they airline told them there were no flights available to Dallas until Tuesday. Unless they made on the next flight that was leaving around 4ish. They didn't get on theat flight it was booked and they were on standby. So earlier in the day when us 3 were eating lunch dad called to make a car reservation for mom and grandma to drive back to LAX if they didn't get on the next flight. Basically dad was on the phone with the airlines trying to get them on the next flight because they almost didn't get their bags pulled and they almost were sent to Dallas a head of time. Which my grandma is on medication. So they tired that angle to get the on the next flight didn't work. Tired calling US Airways customer service they aren't open on the weekends. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. They did get the bags pulled. (All these phone calls took 1 1/2 hours of car traveling time.) Mom and grandma finally got on a plane at midnight flew to Detroit, MI (4 hr trip) and then to Dallas (another 4 hr trip). So they finally got Dallas Sunday morning. We got to Midland at midnight and left around 10 in the morning. We arrived in Allen around 4 pm. That was a long story but it still isn't over...
More tomorrow I'm going to bed...

Packing Day
Today was the day I finished packing all my stuff from my room. We loaded it into the pod this afternoon. It took about an hour. But we managed to fill the whole thing. We packed a few last minute things. 2 bikes and David's gold clubs. Is there anywhere to even golf in Texas? Nadeyah and Shania helped carry box to the pod. Thanks girls!
If you don't know where to put a canvas picture. Just tape it to the wall of the pod. I hope it travels well. We used lots of packing tape.
