Visitors from down south

Tonya and her clan have just left our house today, to go spend some time with Nanny and Papa before heading home to Alabama. This has been one of the most hectic yet enjoyable weeks of my life. This is what it looked like.
Saturday was move in day, and stripey the cat howled most of the night
Sunday was unpacking and trying to settle in
Mon thru wed was swim team in the mornings and soccer camp from 6-9 at night, plus Nate had some extensive meetings and testings going on Tues and Wed.
Friday afternoon Tonya arrives
Saturday night, extended family get together and slide show from when papa, and his brothers and sisters were young. They all were here as well.
All these activities, and not to mention all the friends that stopped by to see my new place, especially a dear friend that is in town visiting her parents, she came all the way from Brazil. It has been a really good week, I love my new house and the black moron seems to be less of a moron here. He has made friends with the other neighborhood dogs, a black lab, and a german shepherd, we may be able to keep him after all.

I am so incredibly tired, but it is not from the move or all the company we've been having. It is due to the fact that my sweet loving husband made me switch sides of the bed. If you were laying in bed, the left side was always mine, but now I've had to move to the right side due to Nate not being able to see down the hall from the right side of the bed. I appreciate his manly desire to protect our home, I just wish we had made the switch at another time besides moving week. I have had quite a bit of trouble sleeping lately, however last night my head hit the pillow at 12:15 and I didn't open my eyes again until 8:05, ahh a good nights sleep at last. We have another full week ahead of us. Nate's business partner is arriving from CO tomorrow afternoon and will be around for the next few days, plus the old house isn't finished being spiffed up yet.

I have missed you! Glad to hear things are going smooth with your move!

I had contacted musicmommy to see if you ladies wanted to get together with me since Tonya was in town, but is sounds like you guy have been way to busy. Next time she is in town, I would love to jump the boarder and talk face to face with all you GA girls!

I am soooo glad that Jack has never made me switch sides of the bed... after 13 years (this weekend!) I would not make a change without MANY weeks/months of sleepless nights.

I am so glad to hear about the moron maybe not having to leave you guys. A change in environment can completely change dog. When Will and I lived in NJ, our border collie Luna was OUT OF CONTROL because she was so confined, now moving to where she has some room to be the kind of dog she was made to be, she is SO good. I hope this is the case for you as well!
