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.

The Move

I'm here at the old house collecting odds and ends. The move was hectic and quick, we had some good strong muscle, so everything big was brought in and set up. Now the real work begins, the going over all the small stuff and finding a place for it. This house is an upgrade for us so we don't have furniture to fill it, and I am going to have to leave lots of books in boxes till I can find some bookcases, I only have one, but the old house had built ins. Well I love love, love the new place, and maybe I will post a picture of me on the front porch drinking tea, if I get around to actually relaxing any time soon.

The Countdown

Well in 24 hours we will take possesion of our new house, I am very excited, but this will be the biggest move of our lives, since we are the owners of so much stuff. I have been thinning out and weeding through everything, but it is still to much junk. We have not had any luck finding a home for the big black moron, so I guess he will be coming with us. We will just have to put up a runner and keep him in the garage at night for now. This will probably be my last post for a while, because I don't know what kind of service we are going to get.
