Moved In

It was a long weekend, but we made it! We looked like the Clampetts with Aaron's truck loaded to oblivion, but it was worth the laughs to get almost everything in one trip (thanks Jed & Paul - you are supermen! Thanks to Carl, too, for letting us drive your truck, but it didn't look like this)

This behemoth was at the gas station just south of Grissom Air Force Base - sorry Aaron, this guy got it first :)

The superwomen were Norma who helped load, and Dawn, Miriam, & Amanda who loaded, drove 3 hours, unloaded & carried all my junk up 3 flights of stairs! Also, special thanks to Austin & his friend (whose name I am unable to remember :( who carried the big stuff! This is my neighborhood, tho' gray & rainy - it started sleeting as we started unloading.

So now I'm nearly unpacked and here is the tour so far - note all the boxes of books I don't have shelves for :)Check out that closet, now dubbed my dressing room - I love my place!! 10' ceilings, hardwood floors, crown moldings - why did I ever think I needed anything bigger than this?? I've disposed of everything (well, almost) that isn't absolutely necessary, and I love it! This place has so much character, I just need the time, creativity & IKEA to make it really amazing - ya'll have to come down & visit :)

Still no job - the hunt picks up afresh tomorrow. Please keep praying and I will keep you posted! Special love and thanks for all of your prayers, cards, gifts and kind wishes - I reread them everyday!
