Moving Day

Morrow House update and Moving in


Well, moving day has arrived and we headed to San Antonio on the 4th of July for a BBQ with Uncle Wayne, Val (and boyfriend), Nanny and a stop in by Karen. Great food!
We got up really early to leave to move and discovered that Justin could not find his keys. ARG!!!

After searching for 45 minutes we finally found them DEEP in the couch and were off!
We met up with Traci and Albert (and Elaine) at mom and dad's house to get all of our stuff from the apartment. We had to leave the really big stuff for later since we needed most of the little stuff right away.
After having breakfast and laughing at Lainie and how she put her thumb in her mouth after every bite (literally), we were off again to the big town of Austin.

It didn't take very long to unload everything into the new garage since we had extra help from friends here too. Adam, Bonnie and Alex came over for a little help. The boys ran to the austin apartment and brought back our couch, alcohol cabinet and some large items.
Thank goodness.

The unpacking has begun.

Going the final stretch

Updates on the house and move...I am thoroughly exhausted, so I am going to make this short and sweet.

The past couple of days we sheetrocked the garage, taped and floated it and started on the texturing of the walls. Justin also ran wiring for the new can lights in the garage and they look might nice. Also today we started running all the wiring for the network, phone and video through the house. We also got our crown mouldings up in the living room and bedrooms...wow~! I just need to finish painting and the rooms will be move-in ready probably by this coming weekend.

Leanne stopped by on her way to San Antonio. She was going to the dentist to get her braces finally off. HOOORAY!!!

I wanted to say Happy Birthday to Cinnamon! She turned 13 and I miss her dearly...*sniff.

A Friend is Leaving...

What started out to be a horrible day has surpassed the scales and move to full couth death-con.
I just learned that Heather, who has been one of my closest friends for the last 16 years, is moving away from Austin to Corpus Christi to be closer with her and her husband's families.
