Rockwall, TX

Well, we are here....I think :) We are settling in, we have a new number, internet is working and the boxes are down to a minimum. I am still parking in the front, but eventually the garage and attic will be cleaned, sorted and arranged so there will be more room behind the garage (we have back drive ways). The only room we haven't done much with is the office. So sorry, no pictures yet. Soon...

Sydnie is missing her friends and school greatly. She has given me the charge of finding a new school for her, which I am doing. It is hard to find preschools, since they tend to be church schools and do not do a lot of advertising. We did find a MOPS group, so she did have a little playtime last week, which she loved.

In time, we will have a good routine. I am hoping sooner rather than later. We still haven't been to storytime at the library, a once weekly or twice-weekly event. Although I haven't heard wonderful things about the storytime, Tim said the library looks fantastic. Now that we are getting mail actually addressed to us, we can go get a library card.

I am looking for Goodwill, yes, again! We threw away and donated so many things before we moved, but I have 5 more boxes of things that we have discovered and need to pass on to someone who can use the items, not to mention that our bulk trash pick up is tomorrow and very full! Oh, well, you don't want to hear about trash. Hopefully, next time there will be something exciting, in a positive way, to report.

Blessings

Packing Day 1

Well, this morning before 8:00 the packers came and started to pack things into boxes. Wow, are they fast! I was not fully prepared for their speed and organization and have found a few things packed that I really didn't want to be packed yet, but nothing too important. Does a 4-year-old really need to wear socks with shoes anyway??? I did have to ask for some paperwork they had packed, but Steven was able to pull it right out and didn't lose a beat packing another room. Sydnie was fine this morning during the process, she played outside, until something bit her, and then watched tv. Yes, I am sorry to say she has watched a little more tv in the whole relocation process than I would like, but sometimes it just is what it is and she hasn't complained one bit...haha. Anyway, the difficulty came when she walked into her room and saw boxes stacked on one another and an empty toy box, you get the picture. "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy"! came ringing through the house. The initial shock didn't last too long when she understood everything in a box was moving to her new room and if it wasn't packed it meant it was staying. Of course, then it was well pack these too, they have to go, referring to the things she wanted to keep out while we are without a house and stuff. I don't have any pictures because I don't want to get in the way and the camera in another spot. Just picture our house with furniture and boxes for decorations. It won't be long and I'll post pictures of our move to Rockwall, Lord willing.

I did have a very nice lunch today with a good friend, Kayren, who was so nice to bring us lunch. My friends will be missed so much, but I can't say goodbye. They are too important and so it is talk to you later, see you later, don't forget us!

Our furniture is moving out Friday so I don't know I'll be posting again until after the move. So, God Bless and we'll see you in Rockwall!
