• Today was the big move...I worked a six hour shift this morning, then came home, finished packing and preparing, and actually got a nap in before my dad and four of my brothers showed up to move mo to my new home.

  I have to tell you - I am grateful for my family on a continual basis, but today watching my dad and sweet brothers sweat and drag all of my accumulated crap from one home to the next I was almost overwhelmed with gratefulness that they would give up a Sunday afternoon/evening to help and bless their big sister.  I am a blessed girl.

  They were actually quite speedy about the whole process - from the time that they showed up with the trailer, got me loaded, drove to the new place, unloaded, placed all the furniture where I needed it, made the bed, got my closet and bathroom situated, hung mirrors and pictures for me and hooked up the television and DVD player, and drove back to Wendy's - it was only two and a half hours from start to finish.  Pretty impressive really.

  The lady that I will be living with for the next year is super sweet - I know that I promised to tell you the story of how I ended up at her home, but I just can't right now - perhaps next week when things settle a bit.  I haven't forgotten - I promise.

  At any rate, she is in the army reserves and is gone for training the next two weeks in Texas, so this week I am going to still be here with Wendy and the kids until they leave on Friday.

  My last class of the summer wraps up on Thursday.  I am really grateful that I am going to have a three week break to settle and breathe for a bit before the fall semester kicks off full force.  I am looking forward to spending some time with my family [who have been rather neglected the last few weeks], doing some reading and scrapbooking, and getting unpacked and settled in my new home.

  Blah, blah, blah - I need to go work on a paper.  Just wanted you all to know that I am still here and kicking.

  More later...
