Ok, yes, I am behind on posting about the move! Let's just say it's over - more to come later on that! I promise, I will share the details of driving across country with two cats, a trailer and Jack and I in separate vehicles! Again, God was working with us and gave us signs that this is where we are supposed to be. More to come...
Jack and I are working hard to get settled into our new home and community. We finally got the computer hooked up last night - what a trial. Can't seem to get the wireless to work so I have a cable stretched across my kitchen for now. It's that or no one would hear from us!!! It's that Belkin. I think it's time to find a better wireless connection.
Even with all my pre-planning - we had to run around town to get the water and electric hooked up. Yes, it does get cold in Arkansas at night, and we have electric heat! There are 8 companies listed for picking up garbage in our neighborhood. I called one so far, for $20.00 a month - some guy's daughter will come by and pick up our trash weekly. Don't know what day that happens on, but we will figure it out!
Another priority was getting up the Christmas lights and tree. All our possessions are still in boxes, but our tree is up and the lights are blinking from the rooftop! That's not totally true, we have spent quite a bit of time unpacking. It seems everything is coming out of the boxes faster than it went in. We are blessed with lots of storage space, so everything is finding a home. This is definitely something I will remember when we build our home on the land!
The cats have settled in nicely. They love the deep window sills on all the windows! They miss the squirrels and birds though. We have no trees in our yard and the wildlife seems to stay in the woods on the other side of the street. We will have to see what we can do about that!
I want to take a moment to thank everyone that helped us move out of our house in Minnesota. Thank you to each and every one of you! We couldn't have done it without you. As it was, we pulled away from the house 10 minutes before closing on Monday morning. We had to pick up and load a 12' by 6' trailer, but we got it all in. And if you can believe this, we already had a charity business come by with a truck and pick up a load of things we shouldn't have moved. As we unpack, we are realizing there is more to give away! I have to move again in a year - I'd like to do it in one truck!
This is it for now, more later! I promise!
