Well I have many things to show you pictures of.... but.... you don't get to see them yet. I seem to have misplaced the cable that downloads my pictures onto the computer during the move.
Hopefully more soon!

Our departed little furry friends...
In hopes that you won't think that we are disgusting pigs, I want to share a picture with you....
These are almonds that went missing from the counter awhile back. As you can see by the indentations in the carpet, there was a piece of furniture there, a bookcase to be exact. So I am guilty of not always moving all of the furniture when vacuuming. But really who does?
So back to our furry friends. Our previous dwelling was a quad home. Our neighbor directly next to us up and moved out one week. That next weekend we just happened to be gone. Prior to that weekend we had always stored food on the counter, due to lack of storage, with no adverse consequences. When we got back, I noticed that the almonds that had been in a plastic bag were gone and there was a hole chewed in it. Needless to say we figured we had been infested with mice. We proceeded to catch 13 mice over the next week, sometimes multiple in a day. I think that we eventually caught them all and now months later....

WE FOUND THE MISSING ALMONDS!
The Move....
I know that it has been a long time since I posted.... no excuses but I'll let you in on why. First of all, I'm sure that you will all be as happy as I am that I passed my boards for Medical Technology. I am now certified. Yea for me!
Secondly and hence the title of the post, we have moved into our first house! The inspection, loan, and closing all went very smoothly. The previous owner was very meticulous and kept the house spotless! We were very impressed. He even left a bottle of champagne for us for when we moved in.
We closed on a Friday, played in a volleyball tournament on Saturday and moved on Sunday. It was a jam packed weekend, but we had a great time. I know what you are thinking..... you played in a volleyball tournament the day before you moved? Yep we did, that is how we got our moving help. Our friends Kim and Dan told us that if we played in the tourney that they would help us move. Dan is a cabinet maker and had a large truck. It only took 2 trips and we were moved. Unfortunately I was not really thinking about taking pictures during the move so I don't have any of the actual process, but here are some staged ones, and of course the aftermath.
I wish that I could say that the boxes have disappeared, but alas they have not. We are still working on the process that seems to be taking forever. I will try and keep you updated!
