One Month Later

It’s been a long time since we’ve updated our blog. Frankly, we’ve been pretty bad about it this year. Suffice it to say, we moved in the latter half of April and didn’t have Internet access at home until this morning.

The move process went well. Since we were only moving one mile away, Di and I shuttled fragile items like our kitchenware over to the house before the EQ men showed up. It took us about 100 minutes to load up the truck and just 45 minutes to unload. That was the easy part.

It has since taken us days (more like 2 weeks) to unpack all of our boxes. Once everything is unpacked, organized, and decorated (waiting on plantation shutters), we’ll post some pics of the new place. Anyway, I’m just writing to let you guys know that we’re alive and well, enjoying a fabulous new home.

The Beginning of a New Life

So, we’ve been MIA for that past month or so. It’s not that we don’t love our readers, but we just didn’t have access to our computer. We decided that it was time to move away from the college laptops and to upgrade to something fun and exciting…drumroll, please…we bought ourselves a new iMac!

Anyway, we’ve been w/o a computer for a couple weeks since we were on vacation with the family. Since moving to Houston, things have been crazy busy. I grossly underestimated the amount of time it would take to unpack (still not done). However, the whole process has been pretty fantastic and we’re very excited with all of our recent purchases. I’m still getting adjusted to this iMac and will post pictures once I find the cable for my camera. Apparently, Apple doesn’t believe in providing us with a SD card reader so I can’t pull any pics off the camera right now.

The Move – Tuesday

OK, this post will probably be a “short” summary, so it’s not super long to read. Early Tuesday morning, we checked into our apartment here in Houston. Just to refresh your memory, it’s called The Amalfi at Hermann Park. It was just a great day. After signing the lease, our movers showed up with all of our things from Utah. They had 4 guys working, so they were able to unload/unpack the truck in a mere 90 minutes. Right as they left, our second moving truck was on its way to drop off our bedroom set and dining room table. A few hours later, our cars were dropped off. Lastly, a Comcast salesman stopped by to hook up our cable TV (even though we didn’t own a TV at the time).

By the end of the day, we had unpacked a lot of things and felt like we were on track to finish by the end of the week. We ended up sleeping w/ our mattress on the ground because we couldn’t find my tools (hence, it was not possible to put the bed frame together. Well, that’s it for now, but we’ll write more soon! I have to get back to unpacking (rather than blogging).
