Were finally in! Sorry I haven't been able to post any blogs in a while but we didn't have internet access at our new house until today. We have moved everything into our new house except for a few things that are still at the old house. Our new house is starting to look like home more every day. Our new house is alot smaller then our last one but it feels like home and the neighborhood is alot quieter and the neighbors are so friendly. We have a great landlord, she's so easy to work with. I have a "Girls Nite" party this Saturday so my goal is to have the house ready by then. The last minute touches will be hanging the pictures and putting up my figurines and Kings stuff. I think one of the major parts of the move for me was moving our fish "Lightening". I was so worried that he might not survive the move. He's doing good and I think he likes his new home. The worse part of the move was that I sprained my right foot last Thursday. I was trying to take the short cut and wear flip flops during the move that day since it was a hassle taking my shoes off and on everytime I brought something into the new house. We have light carpet so there is no shoes allowed in the house. I know that I should have worn tennis shoes but I was just being lazy. We have been moving stuff since Sunday so by Thursday I was pretty tired. My mistake that night was putting a heat pad on it instead of ice. The heat made my foot throb even more. I was almost in tears just thinking that it was the sprain getting worse. The thought of having heat on instead of ice didn't even cross my mind until Greg said I should but an ice pack and after that the throbbing stopoped. I slept with a ice pack on for the next few days and also Greg had me roll my foot on a small basketball to work it out and that helped out alot. I almost was at the point of going to the hospital but I didn't want to pay that high copay for them to tell me that it's bruised or sprained and for me to just not walk on it. On Saturday my mom brought me some old crutches that my grandpa had that I used around the house. As of today I can walk on my foot so I'm alot better but I'm still limping. If I put pressure in the wrong place then I get this pain that goes up my leg. I wasn't able to bowl last Friday and possibly not tomorrow but hopefully by this Friday. Will see.
Sparkles and Sweets have done really well in the move. They adjusted to the new home really good. They both have been outside. Sparkles likes that we have a sliding screen door in the kitchen that leads to the backyard, she likes to just lay on the hardwood floor and feel the outside breeze. I like it too. So far since we've lived here we haven't had to run the A/C, thank god it hasn't been to hot. The weather during our entire move was perfect, one day it rained a little but that didn't stop us.
Below are pictures of our new house.

Nice house! You guys have the same kitchen counter top and cabinets (just different color) as us I think. Are all your boxes unpacked? Isn't moving so tiring?
Sorry to hear about your ankle. Glad to hear it seems to be hearing fairly fast since you're able to walk on it already. Must've been tough to go through a move and not being able to walk!
Hey chica!
Sorry I've been out of touch...can't wait to see the new house. I think that's the cleanest I've ever seen Lightening's tank!
I'll give you a call soon to catch up.
Hugs ;0)
