The move & the beach

Our actual move date was July 4th. We got lots of weird looks when we told people that, as if we had forgotten that this is a national holiday. We always just responded with "We can get the most help that day!" And we did have some fabulous helpers: our homegroup helped up pack the truck and clean the Dallas apartment that Friday. They were amazing and we got it done in record time. Then early Saturday morning the Williams & the Stillers met us and caravaned with us down to San Antonio. It was so good to have friends make the trip with us. They were amazing help getting all our stuff in the new place and out of boxes, but they were also an amazing emotional support as we venture out on this new journey.

So once we were down here, we had a few weeks off before Jonathan started class. We had grand plans of making day trips, I think like everyday. But we soon realized that we were tired and Charley was tired of being in the car. So we settled for a couple of weekend trips to visit our parents and one awesome trip to the beach. We drove down to Padre Island one day for some relaxation in the sun. It was quiet; there were not a ton of people there. Charley had fun hunting all the birds and playing in the surf. It was a very peaceful day. Here are a few pics from Guevara Family Beach Day 2009:
