Update

It's hard to believe, but we have been here over a week!!! We are really liking the area so far, and are really excited to experience more!

Moving from our house:

The movers came, packed, and loaded everything in one day! It was a bit of a long day. That was a Tuesday. We stayed in the house without furniture until Friday. We all "camped out" in one room on air mattresses. The kids thought it was great...for the most part. And yes, the kids are actually on $5 pool floats because the little air mattresses we had both had holes in them.

Friday, we woke up early and did a final scrub down of the house. We didn't get to everything we wanted. We left a few things outside, but the new owner didn't mind. We didn't touch-up paint or even remove all the nails/screws from the walls. Oh well. We were told at closing that it looked great, so...we won't worry too much. Closing went fairly well, and was pretty easy. Our Realtor even gave us yummy HUGE chocolate covered strawberries. (That's what David and I had for lunch that day ;-)) We picked up the kids and dogs and headed down for our first night in the townhouse. We did get a call Monday that we needed to re-sign the deed, as the margins were not right for our picky county. But we printed it out and sent it back the same day. We already have our check for the proceeds.

(The kids getting ready to leave the house for the last time!)

I'll continue the updates later; we are getting ready to head out, hopefully for a fun evening!
