Well, the girls had their first days of school at the new schools. It is kind of funny - Beth's last teacher was Ms. Burnham, and her new one is Mrs. Burns. Samantha also has a Mrs. Burns - but not the same lady. It went very well. Both girls enjoyed their classes and teachers. I was pleased with the schools as well. I am sure the Batavia School District we were in was better, but this seems smaller and kinder in many ways. We shall see. Both came home with friends and stories and we have gone out and bought all the new necessary school supplies.
We all have new phone numbers - email me if you need...

Well, the girls are signed up for school and all set to go. They start tomorrow. We just did our first OFFICIAL grocery shopping for the new apartment, the saleslady at the local Bi-Lo was bug-eyed. I also forgot that our big freezer is in storage so I had to become VERY creative for stuffing all our groceries into the MUCH smaller freezer than I am used to. How do "normal" people do it - just joking.
Rob will be happier though, not as much eating out.
Okay, well I think I may go take a nap, the person across the driveway from us had their carpets cleaned this morning at 5:00 am - yes, I said...

Yes, that is correct, the boxes are unpacked. We are in the process of getting some new furniture, so the office is still messy and the living room is on the VERY empty side. But, the boxes are unpacked and we are offically moved in and settled. Boy does that feel good.
The rest of the family is fine, but I am still a bit sore in the calves, all the up and down the stairs on moving day was more than I have done in a while. Feeling better every day though.
The girls are making friends, Rob has been hanging out with neighbors and we had a very nice young man (about 5 years old) named, Jeremy,...

Hello Everybody,
We are officially in our new apartment. It is rather large, sadly, on the second floor. We have three bedrooms, the girls are sharing the master br with the cats, we have the second largest and the computers get their own room as the third bedroom. It has a nice size living room and a dining room, kitchen, and back deck. Most of the boxes are gone from the main living areas. When we were moving in, we decided to only move the light stuff and rent a storage unit since we will only be here for a couple of months.
Checked on our new house yesterday, WOW! I am so excited. It is going...

We've finally signed a contract, although the house is beeing built, so it isn't actually a house yet, and we ain't actually bought anything - I did sign a large quantity of paperwork!
We are going to purchase a house from Scenic Homes in thier River Falls development.
We are going with the Richmond Floor Plan.
Although we are going to get a walk-out basement thrown in as well, which will be roughed (studs, electric, and plumbing) out with the same floorplan as the first floor.
Finally, here is a Google Maps Link to where the house is going to be, it will be the last house (most North...

So, Rob really got busy this weekend and we have things in place....a bit more than we did on Friday, anyway.
We have a place to rent. Rob is moving into an apartment next week. He is also planning on flying up here to help me out next weekend, I think he just misses me, but I am fine with that.
We have narrowed the search down to two places.
1. A new home being built. Ready in February - has great floorplan, walk out basement, new development, nice area, large home - EVERYTHING new. Space for a pool, no land.
Richmond home with walkout basement
2. A home Rob found yesterday, an 85 year...
