Here we go again

Quick update: We all arrived Monday afternoon without incident, including Ken who beat us by about 30 min. The girls were in good spirits and excited to see their pets, who also endured their journey well. We spent our first night in a hotel and about a week after they started on the Tucson house, the movers arrived at our semi-temporary MS house. The moving started all over again. I spent the day directing traffic and basically trying to fit 2400 square feet of stuff into 1300 square feet...not easy! Thank heavens for a walk up attic, the reverse of a basement! It also rained all day, the exact opposite of what we had just left. I guess the heavens were weeping for us :) Since the movers left, we have been unpacking boxes and finding all sorts of "treasures". And, as we suspected, we were VERY overweight...kinda kills me since we brought stuff that I intended to give away but ran out of time. I guess we'll have a nice garage sale here to raise money to pay off the overweight bill!! Overall, the house is small but cute. It's homey and private (master on the opposite side of the house from the girl's bedrooms). We'll be here until our Tucson house sells and we get into something permanent. Ken wants to build. There's lots of opportunity for that here. We're a bit in the country and it's very pretty with alot of wide open spaces with horses and wonderful homes. We drove down a long road with trees overhanging on both sides of the road, making a tunnel. It was lovely. The first day our cars arrived (Thurs), the girls and I took a drive around some neighborhoods. There were lots of oohhs and aahhs as we looked at house after house..."I like that one", "Oh, look at that one". So far, it seems like a very nice place. I'll keep you posted.
