A New Life Begins

We're here!! The Walkers have spent 2 nights in our new home. I LOVE IT!!! I am so content with all space we have, no creaks in the floor when we walk, room for all the pets, all of our things under one roof, carpet, and this is just the beginning! Karen, Robert's mom, flew in to Little Rock on the night of the 6th, the day before the closing. The six of us, Scout, Jimmy, Frodo, JJ, Robert, and I, spent the night in one room at the Best Western. Everyone got along just fine. The closing went well and then we unloaded boxes all day - directing the movers, etc. It has been a big task to unload but we are getting there. It's been like early Christmas opening boxes and seeing what's inside. Many things we haven't seen in quite awhile because they've been in storage. There's a big gash in Robert's armoire and we see that they dropped a tv. The dishes are all unbroken except for a few. We haven't found our China yet. Karen has been a huge help being here. She has been taking care of JJ while Robert and I unpack. This experience would have been complete stress without her. As for today, we continue to work and enjoy our new home. We have met one neighbor and he seemed nice. If none others come over we will just go over to them once we are settled and introduce ourselves. I'll check in later.
