announcing!

News y'all. I guess news is the only thing that can really get me to truly update this puny little blog of ours. Actually I've written some posts in the past couple months, but chickened out and never posted them! What the what!?

But news, news will get me updating. Not the news you might think we are thinking (NOT PREGGERS!).

The news!?!?!

The Robbins will be making their first move as the Robbins!

Yes! Yes! Yes! 

Justin is set to graduate May 10th with his degree in Constriction Science from A&M and has accepted position in Hutto, TX (home of the Hippos I've been continually informed!) a close suburb of Austin! We recently found an adorable (tiny!) apartment in Pflugerville that we LOVE. The complex has a workout room (yay!) a pool (YAY YAY!) and there is actually a dog park IN the complex, so Pippin loves it too!

We are beyond excited, this is seriously a dream for Justin, as in a dream job y'all. God is good.  We will be making the move somewhere between May 25 and June 1. Highly depends on how many friends we have to help us pack ; )


We are getting sadder and sadder (more sad?!) to leave our amazing friends and community in College Station. It has been a dream of a place to live for the past 5 years, and the best place we could have lived for our first 2 years of marriage. It will always feel like home, I mean, we are Aggies.

Our new car!

My favey baby Tatum Templeton!

The boys studying hard to try to graduate!

Cheers for now, until my next update 3 months from now. But for real...




Love.

cheers to the year.

In the spirit of all things new, I'm taking full advantage of a fresh start. I felt so encouraged about the New Year - feeling inspired, motivated, and ready to take on my life as a beautiful adventure and let go of all things drab and grey. I'd have to say, we were off to a great start.... for a day. Until the whole family ended up with our faces in the potty, discarding all of our stomachs' contents {womp womp}.

BUT! I refuse to let this little hiccup, and the days since that I have felt pretty puny, discourage my new attitude. I feel like I have real inspiration about living full and colorful, in a riveting, meaningful way. I hope to share before too long.


In the mean time, a quick share of the Robbins' 2nd family Christmas together!

We were so blessed (crazy?) to be able to visit everyone in both our families over the holidays. We drove a whoppin' total of 1,500 miles in 2 weeks, and stayed in 7 different places.

my new haircut!
our pooped puppy at the Keenum family Christmas
eating at Texas de Brazil (YUM!) on our little mini vacay
(middle 3 pics) enjoying downtown Fort Worth
in the deer blind, hunting in Mertzon
and finally, ending the holiday with a pallet and movie night at home!

Love.
