A one week review


Sorry it took so long to repost.

So, it's actually been more like 10 days, but it's only been a week since we moved into our home. So I guess I still feel like I can title this accurately.

The house is slowly coming together. Items are finding their homes, decorations are being hung, and we are starting to know our way around Abilene. I have to say that I love living here. We stayed with Brian and Keisha Gage for a few nights because it took a while to get our stuff down here. But thanks to new friends we unloaded the truck in 1 hour and 45 mins. I cannot begin to thank everyone who came out to help. People who I met for the first time that day where here moving washers, furniture, and boxes. Thank you again!

Uncle David and Mom (Porter) stayed for a few days to help get a bulk of the stuff opened and put away, and Keisha was a trooper, while being pregnant spent the entire weekend helping us by putting away our entire kitchen. Wow what a relief. Uncle David stayed until Saturday and took off for Weatherford, and mom stayed through Monday to help us get a bit more comfortable. My parents came into town and stayed until Yesterday morning. They were a bit help this week while I started the new job. They helped take care of Tildon, did some small jobs around the house, and help ease the transition to living here in Texas.

I have to say that two of the biggest blessing up to this point have to be having new amazing friends who welcome us with open arms, and having an amazing job. When Brian Gage told me "You guys are gonna fit right in with our friends" he was not kidding. The Gage's and some of the new friends all had a small "welcome" party for us last week. It was so great seeing all these people and knowing they truly care and want to get to know us, as a matter of fact, we just got back from Dave and Amy's house. We had an amazing dinner tonight and let the boys all run around like crazy kids tonight. We also joined the Gage's small group but had to cut it short because my parents came into town last week.

Well, this is enough for tonight. I'll post more consistent now that I have internet at the house.
