One Week Down

So far so good! I had a few bouts of queasy and have been very very tired but otherwise, no real shake ups. We are just about finished moving into our new house. Absolutely LOVE it! We received a HUGE welcome basket from the neighborhood on Saturday. Chock full of goodies and coupons for area businesses. Did you know that Money Magazine listed our new town as one of the best places to live? Here's the link: http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/moneymag/0707/gallery.BPTL_top_100.moneymag/40.html

We met some of our neighbors- even had one bring us a cake today. Yes, what they say about friendly people in Texas IS true! Speaking of nice people...we had so many wonderful folks show up and help us with our move over the weekend! It was quite overwhelming. Bear with me while I give a shout out to a few (some I just don't know who they were so I apologize in advance!)

• KK (aka Maj Brasfield!) If we ever need to plan an invasion, a vacation or bring about world peace...you are our 'go-to' person! Organization and motivation- cannot be beat! (and Megan and Blake as super cute sidekicks are a bonus!)
• Mike Kroger- that SF training and loading of the truck- like Tetris in Action! Amazing that much stuff fit (or that we have that much stuff!) Kudos to you for bringing your son along and he never once complained and worked his butt off all day! :)
• SunnyDee for her smiles and grace under pressure, uplifting motivation and all around cheerful go-lucky attitude- {{HUGS}} and to Erik for lifting everything heavy and helping get my cabinet there in one piece
• Col Tozier for keeping everyone moving along like energizer bunnies all day! We so appreciated your help and support!
• Adam who gave up most of his college break week to lug boxes and furniture, drive the minivan back and forth from house to house all in exchange for sleeping on an air mattress in an empty house. We could not have done it without you!
• the teenagers: Derek, Kelsey, Ricky, Emily, Ramon, Nelson, Justen, Jennifer- who worked for food, like teenagers should!
• our other friends and helpers (whose names escape me- you know who you are!) who all pitched in when and where they could so that we could rest and not stress out- love you guys! (thanks for cutting the grass too!)

Now we just have a few more things to move and the dreaded CLEANING of the old house! Yuck- that's the part I hate! After Monday we'll be all finished. We finally have phone, cable and internet at the new place and the phone# is the same so don't be shy.
