So it has been a "few" days since I last posted. Lots has taken place. Where to start.
We are officially moved now. Going from a house with a yard to an apartment with no yard has been an adjustment. There are "elephants" that live upstairs and I don't think they ever sleep. I will hear running around upstairs at 3am. It is annoying but hopefully temporary.
Boxes still overwhelm most of our space. I don't know if I'll ever get it all unpacked and really don't want to either. I just feel like the day I finish unpacking will be the day I have to start repacking. Tis' the story of our life. We actually moved boxes that were never opened when we originally moved to Tucson. I ask myself... WHY? Time to toss and simplify.
The move went pretty smooth. Only a few pieces of furniture were broken in the process. Luckily most of our stuff is particle board or I'd be a little more upset. David said he'd "Jerry rig" the broken furniture to make it last until we move again.
Our Tucson house is still on the market with not much action at all. We will probably post it as a rental in the next few weeks if nothing happens. The market in our area is just not conducive to selling at this point in time. I really didn't want to rent... but I want to pay two mortgages even less. Money can become a great motivator. Maybe in a year or two things will change...and hopefully for the better.
The kids are starting to make adjustments to our new life. Timothy still follows me around to make sure he doesn't get left behind. When I close a door (specifically the bathroom) he sits outside the door crying and hollering until he sees me again. I guess it is safe to say his is a bit insecure. Alexis has just been ornery to make sure she gets all the attention she wants. My mom says that is pretty normal. They do miss their friends too. Alexis keeps mentioning going over to friends houses and doesn't understand that it is a two hour drive to those friends now. She sure does miss them. I miss friends and familiar faces too. We went to the park by ourselves this morning and it sure would have been more fun to meet friends there.
David is enjoying his new job. He also took and passed his board exams last weekend. He is so funny. The day he took his first exam he apparently developed test anxiety for the first time in his life. What a time to develop that. I think it finally hit him how important the test was. Many of his co-workers gave him a hard time about how worried he should be about the test. I think it made him anxious. But he passed... so that is the last time he'll have to take a test for his career. WooHoo! He is happy about that too.
I'll have to post some more later with pictures. Lots has happened in the past month. SO much to catch up on. This will have to do for now.
Whew....

Someday, Allison will get married and have kids and we can play at the park together. By then, your kids will be grown. Where are you living? Annie and her kids are just on Alma School and Ray. I can hook you 2 up for a play date if you want. Although Annie's more of taking the kids to the indoor playplace at the mall during the summer time. It's too hot to be outside unless you're in the pool... and even then, it's a bathtub. :) Sarah will be here on July 7th a little bit later, and leaving on the 10th early in the AM. I have all that week off, so maybe we can have a playdate then with her little Zeke. I'll call you though.
Ahhhh!!! The stresses of owning a home in the ghetto with the market these days. Well I hope that something works out soon for you guys.
Um...can you please mention where you moved to? State? City? I don't know how I missed it, but I honestly have no idea. Was it back to Phoenix? That's the only thing that sounds familiar to me.
