Final moving update and some fun

First, we need to thank everyone for their prayers. The support of family and friends has helped us all enormously through this time which has been mixed with happiness, sorrow, sweat, anxiety, and finally enjoyment.

Closing went smoothly on both houses, and we were able to unload the truck and move boxes in on July 1 (note to self - new home anniversary date). I was/am still working 12-14 hour days so Mike has handled the lion's share of the unpacking and organizing, and entertaining Holley. He is simply amazing. We are far from settled, but have about 1/2 of what we brought organized now. The rest is mostly office/stamping and misc. things that require frequent dusting. That can wait!

Still have a full storage unit in KS that we need to bring down. I honestly do not know where it will all go. While this house is large, we lost a considerable amount of storage space (no basement) and my office. Better start thinking about another garage sale. I also don't know how we will get it down here - we need a large covered trailer... so please pray for that too.

Holley is adjusting well, though she is bored most of the time, waiting for school to start in 6 weeks. There is a great "solar heated" swimming pool 2 blocks away and she is becoming a frequent visitor. There are also a few kids nearby that she has met, mostly younger, and many more we still have not yet met.

We are still visitors at the church I mentioned previously and will visit a new SS class today. Then back to work. But we have had have some fun - joined the children's museum which is large and always has something new. On our last visit, we watched a magic show put on by one of the local High School kids. Everything about it said "Bryce" and it was really cute (although I think Bryce is a better magician!)

And finally, we went to the mall to explore and Holley got to bunjee!
