Hi Everyone!
Well ... hopefully I will be on-line more now that we are getting settled here in San Antonio. Life has been absolutely nuts to say the least. We had the nightmare road trip in many ways. The moving truck wouldn't go above 35 mph until the air conditioner broke, and we then could get up to 50 mph. There was black smoke billowing out of the truck all the way and we ended up getting diesel on all our boxes and even inside the car we were towing with all my clothes hanging in it! UGH! We were very blessed though because we made it to our new home before both the water pump and the fuel pump busted! We are finding out today how much of a refund we get from the truck. My DH thinks they should pay us for even driving the darn thing! BUT... even though the truck was a disaster, my 4 kids and the dog were absolute angels. That is a serious miracle in itself. Our trip was so much longer with how slow the truck was but they never complained. It made a bad situation bearable.
The good news was that we finally sold our house in Arizona. We got two offers on the day we were loading the moving truck and we stayed an extra day to make the counter offers and accept the best offer. It will be great on July 22nd to close on the house there and have that behind us.
We are loving our new home. We went from 1463 sq feet to 2100 sq feet! This house is only a year old. It is on a cul-de-sac so that my kids can play out front without worrying too much about them and we have a hot tub in the backyard, which we think is pretty babyproof! We are going to add some extra locks though just to make sure. We are finally getting things in place. I still have a bunch of boxes in the garage but I am just not in the mood to empty any more right now. I think I will be hitting garage sales and thrift stores trying to find some furniture. We have never had a kitchen and dining room or a living and family room so it looks empty in some places. It is nice to finally be here. It has been raining for a straight three days and after living in Arizona for four years, I love it. I am enjoying listening to the thunder and hearing the rain fall. I didn't realize how much I missed the rain (I did grow up in Oregon!)
Anyway... hope everyone else is doing well and transitioning with the new year. Russ had his first day yesterday and it was a good start. He is starting with the pediatric ward, which should be a good way to break him in. He is on call every fourth day, of course, it would have to start on 4th of July! BUT... we can't complain.
It is good to be settling down and feeling like my life is getting back to normal. I have missed hearing how all of you are doing.
