Halfway Home

Well, we are halfway moved out of St. Louis. All of our belongings were packed up and loaded onto a gigantic orange 18 wheeler last Thurs and are somewhere between here and Austin. The packing up of this house was sooo much work and was compounded by having to take care of the princess but we managed to get it all done. The packing of the truck was a SEVEN hour event that also caused much distress. But it's all over now and we just have the monumental task of unpacking to look forward to- yikes! Byron left Gaby, myself and the pups on Sunday... and drove the first car down to A-town. He is officially there and is having fun getting things set up for us, although, he is still waiting for the furniture to arrive (hopefully on the 5th). Gaby and I have been left with a mattress, an aerobed, a card table & chairs, a mini fridge, the TV, and the trusty pack-and-play. We are definitley enjoying our new minimalist lifestyle:) Pita arrives on Wed the 4th and will stay with us until my sentence, I mean, my contract:) is completed on the 11th. We head out on the 12th to Houston. Byron comes back up on the 11th, also, to pack up and drive the 2nd car to Austin and will pick us up in Houston and whisk us away to Louisiana to celebrate Gaby's great grandmother's 75th B-day. It will be a busy couple of weeks but ultimately we'll end up in our new home by July 15th!
