It feels like it's been a long time since the last post, but I guess that's just because we've been up to a lot.

Friday afternoon I helped my sister with her resume, then we went out to eat and went to Lowe's to buy painting supplies for the new digs. We topped off the afternoon with 28 Weeks Later at the dollar theater. A few hours later, and we were out to the movies again, with Ric, to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Yes, I've already seen it twice. I thought it was quite well done.

Saturday was the usual sleeping and laundry at the folks' until the evening. Then Ric and I went over to Josh's parents' house to say goodbye to our friends. Booooooo! I mean, yay for them, but boo for us. But then again, it's a yay for us since we're taking over their house, I guess. At any rate, I hate goodbyes, but this one was a little easier because there were cute kids around to make us smile. Cosette seems to like walking to me. Just as she's really started to show that she remembers me and likes me, she's moving away. So, in the future, both kids will probably not recognize us. That's sad. We are severely going to miss hanging out with the Neals. It's been a weekly routine since, well, probably since Ric and I got married and lived in the same apartment complex with them. The funny thing is that we don't always have a ton in common when it comes to general interests (besides tv), but we always found plenty to talk about each and every week. I came close to a couple of tears but held it back by making a beeline for the car. Ric and I walked to Panera for dinner after that, only to discover it was already closed, so we ate at Ruby's and walked back to his parents' place to take a dip in the spa.

Sunday we went to church and then lounged around the house for the afternoon. In the late afternoon we started stacking boxes in our cars and headed over to the new place, where Josh's dad was putting some finishing touches on the house. We unloaded most of the kitchen and living room stuff (minus large pieces of furniture) and then started work on the bedroom. We taped up the trim and managed to get one wall finished before running out of energy. By the way, nice job on the fridge, Wendy! I'm gonna have to get used to a side-by-side but it's pretty cool!

So I guess that means the rest of this week and beyond will be all about moving stuff and cleaning our old place. I've spent a lot of time today registering address changes with multiple vendors. Yuck. We're going to have to figure out how we're going to cart some of the bigger items over there. Hopefully we won't have to rent a truck.

And hopefully we can have some of you over sometime in the near (but not too near, 'cause it will take a while) future!
