The M.O.V.E.

I'm not really sure where to begin...

The move to Houston, TX was very stressful, but then again, when isn't moving stressful? Moving sucks. After saying a very long and tearful goodbye to our home and life in Madison, we got everything packed, loaded and hit the Interstate. Mom, William, and the wiener dogs were riding with me, and Bill drove the U-Haul + trailer (yes, we moved ourselves...). A special thanks to Bill's parents, Jarred, Lance, and my Mom for helping us pack and load the truck with trailer.

We spent the night in Red Stick, LA, at the Sheraton Casino. Not super nice, but they allowed the wieners to stay with us, so Sheraton it was. William and "Nonna" shared a room, and Bill, myself, and the dogs shared a room. I didn't get a chance to eat dinner so I was a miserable wench, but my mother had the "all-you-can-eat" seafood buffet...gee...

Anyway, we made it to our new home in Houston on March 9th. Thank goodness it's a rental and our lease is only 3 months!! There was an oversight on the utility set-up and we didn't have GAS for 2 days!! We had to boil water to bathe. It was AWESOME. I seriously thought I would have a nervous breakdown, but somehow I managed to pull through and am alive to write about it today... :) Nonna stayed with us for a few days before heading back to MS.

We have finally started to get settled, but we don't want to get too settled because this is not our permanent home.

*In the top picture we had just arrived to Houston and didn't want to wake up William so we wrapped him quilts and blankets and left him asleep in the backyard by the pool, Nonna supervised.
