Officially, the movers came last Monday and filled up our new house with boxes.

Mike left on Tuesday to finish studying, papers, etc.

My parents came on Wednesday.

On Thursday, my parents bought us a washer and dryer for Mike's graduation present. And Mike came back to a baby who was spinning her arms in legs in air to get to him as he came through the door.

Friday, Mike graduated. We had a little party and then he graduated.

Saturday, we went to our new home.

Late on Saturday night, I got dsl. (It just means I'll get these loaded two nanoseconds faster, not that I'm actually doing more entries right now.)

I have most of the downstairs done, but the upstairs is still floor to ceiling boxes, except for the tiny niche of computer desk. I say tiny because I am typing with the keyboard on my lap, something my lower back wishes I wouldn't do.

While here, I've met the majority of my neighbors, including a woman who just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and we're going to be exercise partners. We officially start walking tomorrow. In the winter, we're going to work on aqua aerobics. YAHOOO!

It's odd how when you meet some people it's like your long lost sister or something and she and I just connected like that. We stood outside tromping between our yards and when we parted, we hugged.

Last night, I saw the most phenomenal sunset. It was flames of orange and fuschia above the mountains with feathers. At one point, the sun hit the back of the mountains so that you could make out each individual tree on the ridge with no other trees in front of them.

We live in the most amazing place.
