We're here!

We have officially been in Texas for three weeks this Saturday. Our home is put together, we really like the neighborhood, the neighbors, and I'm certainly learning my way around this HUGE city. On the work front: my license is here and Brandon's work is good. So in my last post we were ten days from heading here...let's recap:
Sept 20: End of work in Birmingham
Sept 21: Tie up loose ends as much as possible; Study for test on Wednesday, Sept 22
Sept 22: MPJE at 2:00, Brandon flew in at 8:00
Sept 23: 7:30 am packers arrive!
Sept 24: 8:00 am the 53' tractor trailer arrives


ON A SIDE NOTE: I called the lady who was in charge of our move she told me that our things would arrive in Texas October 15. I can't even describe my panic. Can you imagine not having packed enough underwear for three weeks and thinking, "that box they just put on the truck probably has ALL the rest of my undies in it!" So I had a sit down talk with Steve, the driver. He told me he had a load to drop in Austin the following day and wanted to be in San Antonio Monday! There was a second wave of panic then. Monday meant Brandon and I couldn't dilly dally on the way out we had to drive straight thru, for that I was a little sad. So they finished the truck up and we hit the road.
