The Big Move

Well, after nearly a week, we're finally settled in the new house in Chicago. We started packing in Indy last Monday after driving from Minnesota following Christmas. We packed the largest U-Haul truck they have full to the brim and drove up to the windy city on New Year's Eve. I made arrangements to have the cable turned on this day so we could watch tv while unpacking and at least watch the ball drop...but to no avail. The ever un-reliable cable installers didn't bring the right equipment and couldn't install it until yesterday (Sunday). So, we unloaded the truck and drove 40 minutes into Wisconsin to spend New Year's Eve with our friends at an indoor waterpark and ski area. We had a good time, but Afton wasn't too psyched...apparently he requires that any water his feet touch need be at least the temperature of bath water...so no Lake Michigan swimming for him...ever.

We have everything unpacked and Afton's room is perfect, just like the last one. We're settled in as best as we can, but it will take a few weeks to feel like home. Thanks goodness we got a GPS for Christmas otherwise we wouldn't know how to get to the grocery store, so thanks Terry and Vicky! Dustin went back to work today and me on Wednesday so Afton will go to our friend's house instead of daycare which shouldn't be too traumatic for me! Hope to see everyone soon!
