whew!

I am glad to see that I am not the only one a little behind on blogging!
So, we are settled in! Our things got here on the 12th and Josh was able to take that Thursday off and we got everything in its place except 1 or 2 boxes and they were in their place within a few days! We are waiting to hear news back from the realtor to see if she has shown the house lately...oh, I hope so! It is pretty warm here...Monday it was 103! It is a lot dryer out here though. My allergies are so much better than what they were the first 2 weeks we were here....but they still act up daily. I have an appointment on the 31st...hopefully we will get it all smoothed out! I have been itching for company. Mom and Nathan are soposed to be coming in October on Nates fall break and I think NeeNaw and Bpa are thinking about coming in Sept. unless they go to Minnesota. It doesn't really feel like it is that far, I think that is because we haven't driven it yet....oh, well...it doesn't have to be forever!
Well, thats all the news for now!

Arrived!

We have made it to Texas. We are at a hotel tonight until we can move into our apartment tomorrow. The catch is, the moving company didn't tell us until the day that they moved us that we get a two week delivery window. So we will move in tomorrow but may not have any of our things until Aug. 13! Crazy huh?! Not to mention they broke the pane of glass out of one of my end table and didn't bother to tell us! gggrrr...
So, we left yesterday morning at 6 am and got in last night at 9...we were soposed to get in at 8 but it rained almost the whole way here! They say that it is good luck that it rained...it has rained EVERY time we came! We pulled out our suitcases last night and mine, only mine, was soaked. My unmentionalbles are hanging all over the hotel room to dry out. Anyway...We were greeted by one of the elders and his wife last night with a fruit basket and a snack basket. (Go, immediately to Wal Mart and but puffed Corn made by Cheeto I think...AMAZING!!) Also, today they had a potluck and a cake there for us. Everyone is so sweet and welcoming. A few of the members have said they like to hear us talk...they can tell we are from the other side of the Mississippi! haha.
I am dealing with it better now that we are here....ironically I get more homesick when I am home. I am ok now...maybe once we begin moving in things I won't be..but for now ok.
Also, one of Josh's 2nd (I think) cousins committed suicide last Friday. So, if you will remember the Carter family in your prayers.
Well, after today we won't have internet for a few days so I will write when they get it hooked back up at the house.
Love you all!
The Texans....haha
