We are moved in! Thank you to ALL our movers and helpers! Besides a little rain and some mud on Friday, the weather was great for the move.  We had a little debacle with the moving truck (i.e., reserved a 26' truck and at one time, ended up with THREE 14' trucks) but it worked out in the end- and added a little humor to the situation.

We LOVE our new home.  We keep thinking a camera crew will run in and tell us we've been punked and this is all a big joke! So far, so good.  Los ninos are very happy with their new surroundings and have been outside more than in- so that allowed Mama to unpack more!  

Overall, a very successful move-only a few bulldog teeth shared between Jay and I- so that was good too!

A few early observations/comments on country living:
Watch out for the bats that fly at night
I'm already losing the battle of trying to transport all living Japanese Beetles out of my house
We love the taste of our well water
I already miss our garbage disposal
Jay and I need some shit kicker boots from Farm and Fleet
It's very quiet, especially at night
The smoke alarm goes off if the fire isn't just right in fireplace

The chicks come next week... stay tuned!
