The BIG move

I bet you're wondering how the BIG move went... We are very blessed to have had a good trip!

Scott, Dillon & Randy left on Friday from Iowa City. They drove the grey truck with the trailer (full of furniture) and Scott's TV work truck with the compressor on the hitch. No rain for their trip! They drove late in the night until they reached Fort Worth, TX. Then they pulled into Round Rock on Saturday morning at 11:00-ish. The landlord at the rental house was here to meet him with a fantastic house!

Jared, Madison, Ellen & myself left on Saturday morning. I drove the Suburban (full to the hilt) with the 2 dogs and Ellen drove the Sonta (so full we had to open windows to put in last items). Madison & Jared traded cars every so often. We stayed in southern Oklahoma for the night. Quincy was sedated for the trip so he wasn't much problem and wonderfully enough, Macey was bored & slept too! (see earlier posts).

The rental house is very nice! We had imagined a tiny apartment-size home, but this is a nice-sized 3-BR home with 2 bathrooms. The boys are sharing the master bedroom becasue they have 2 queen beds... this means they get the master bath & walk-in closet... Scott is dealing with it...

It has been REALLY hot here, but I see there's a heat wave everywhere so you're probably experiencing the same thing. Dillon has been in football practice each morning until noon. He's one of 100 boys on the team! Jared has applied for jobs at a few places & had one interview already. Madison has tried to 'lay out' to tan herself but that only lasted 15 mintues because of the heat. Whew! Scott went to Houston yesterday to talk to the owner of the company we are trying to buy. Today we're going to switch the car license plates & get Texas drivers licenses. I anticipate waiting in line a long time... you wouldn't believe the population explosion since we lived here 7 years ago!
