Casa Needham...

In NC we have ant's, lots and lots of ants.
In LA they apparently have millipedes.
We sprayed and then the army sprayed.



Then we took care of spiders, Destine hates spiders.





Lots and lots of daddy long legs.






Sent our soldier to handle it, and by sent I mean let him out and shut the door.







vacuuming up the millipedes 


With the millipedes gone. This is their guest room (my room).






Hallway














dead daddy long legs




Cute porch and yard






Grill patio 





























Packing up my room







Heading off to Houston.




Bye Bye Casa Needham.

More lonley roads on the way to Houston.



Stopped off at Stevens Sisters house and got in a great workout at her gym.


After a very nice evening with Steven's parents it was time to get home to my little's
on this teeny tiny plane





I sit here at the airport (fighting back the tears) getting ready to board with a heavy heart. Officially my baby girl is on her own (she has been for a while but this is very different). My heart is heavy with sadness. I'm going to miss her, my baby girl (and Steven). She'll be hundreds of miles away. However, my heart is also full, exploding with sheer joy and happiness. Spending these past few days with her was a priceless gift. A trip we are going to laugh A Lot about in the future. Also seeing her new house, the playful banter between her and her hubby and helping her pick out curtain rods. I know realistically I'm just a phone call away but it's hard to not be able to just drive to her if she needs something. I am confidant that Steven will make sure she has everything she needs (if nothing else he'll order it off Amazon). Seriously though, I Know in my heart that they are starting a wonderful life together. As I soaked it all in and tried to etch every moment in my head, I saw small glimpse's of me in her and a few glimpse's of my Mom in me. There really is no greater joy than watching your children succeed.

As I day dream into the clouds this is what I will remember from our trip.



























I love you baby girl!
Thanks for an amazing trip.





They all loved their souvenirs.
