We made it!

We made it and are alive...barely. I am so exhausted that I cannot even describe how I feel. I had no idea that moving is so physically exhausting. My body and feet hurt so bad!!! I have been on a regular dosage of Aleve for the past 72 hours.

Anyways, enough whining. We are doing well; slowly making our way through the boxes and setting things up. Since I am so tired I will give you a brief list of highlights.

  • We have lost Rascal. She wondered off last night. This is my fault and please pray she comes home.
  • We have cable!! I have been getting my fix of the food network after not having it for a year.
  • We took a bath last night in our giant tub.
  • The Wal-Mart here is better than Brenham's.
  • So far the neighbors are nice and one invited us to their small group on Sunday night.
  • Matt is at Nana and Pawpaw's with strep throat. He went to the Dr. this morning and is doing better.
  • Matt asked if we could roast marshmallows in our fireplace on Wed.
  • We have already encountered a door-to-door salesman.
  • Our new fridge rocks.
  • We have a phone (email me if you want the number).
  • We have a purple master bedroom, lime green guest room, rope for crown moulding in the dining room, and frosted acrylic knobs in the kitchen. This will all change.
  • It took me five hours to set up Matt's room.
  • I have never been so unfocused/distracted in my life.
  • My husband has been amazing.
  • Did I mention how bad my feet hurt?
  • I saw a brown snake slither into a "weep" hole in our house.
  • Walked down to the bayou tonight to look for Rascal. It is beautiful.
  • Haven't seen any nutria rats yet.
  • Haven't figured out if our carpet is blue or grey.
  • Discovered we have a cool kitchen faucet. The kind you can pull out and make a sprayer.

Well that's it for now. Thanks for all the awesome comments and sweet posts.

Please, now my feet are hurting and I am exhausted. I'm glad things have gone so smooth. Just think, in a year or two you won't even remember all the hassel you went through! I can't wait to see the house. I'm a little worried, when I told you my first trip down there will be following you home to learn the route and you said your not sure just when you will get up here, hummm.
