Moving In!

Well, this was the week. It is Sunday night, and we are all tired, but we are here in rainy Iowa and the kitchen is all unpacked. We have lost most of A's clothes, though. All-in-all, it hasn't been a bad week. The last 10 days in Chicago were a whirlwind. I am thankful we were able to have Golan's do our packing as we were able to make the rounds and spend time with those we will miss the most. The kids have done great through the whole move and seem to have adapted to their first few days in Iowa well. After all the agnst and concern and wonder, when I was driving into Mt Vernon on Wednesday night, it felt ok to know I was driving into my hometown. The kids have already spent a couple days with the grandparents. I went shopping for a new vacuum (fully carpeted house!), and was simply tickled when someone at Kohls, of all places, offered to carry it out for me. Gas is $2.86/gallon. But, we have no pizza delivery! There will be more tales to tell, as we adjust and hopefully soon, sell our house back in Chicago (which I've almost forgotten about!).
