It's Done

We are officially living in our new home. I am going to journal it to post later (now, I have to steal time on Mikey's computer), but here's the CliffNotes version...

Monday morning we picked up the Uhaul. Our friends came and we got it packed up in about 2 hours. At noon we still didn't have the keys, but after a leisurely lunch, we finally got The Call. We drove to Anza, unpacked in an hour, returned the Uhaul, and settled into the house for our first night.

Tuesday was spent unpacking the living room and kitchen, as well as setting up the bed and entertainment systems and some serious napping. We also took a trip in to Anza for some small errands and looking around. Today, we unpacked the bedroom and bathrooms, and started on most of the other rooms. It is looking almost like a home. Tomorrow, we will head into the big city for a shopping trip - we let ourselves run out of most things so there was less to move.

Things of Note:
* We still have no propane, so we are eating cold food and taking cold showers. Brrr. Fortunately, it is roasting out, so it doesn't feel so bad.
* The moon was absolutely full our first night here. It was beautiful.
* The kitties are adjusting well, some more slowly than others. They are enjoying the view (especially the rabbits and squirrels) from the new windows.
* It is very quiet here. I love sitting and listening to the world without all the cars and sirens and talking.
