Hello new house!

We’re in the new house now (I’ll try to post some photos sometime). It’s exactly .5 miles from our old house on my car’s odometer. That barely qualifies as a “move” if it weren’t for the fact that 70% of this move was “pack” and another 20% is “unpack” (with many boxes still lying around half unpacked).

But we’ve met already 4 of the 8 families in our cul-de-sac, and another 2 from the cul-de-sac behind ours. One angelic neighbor even bought and cooked a couple of Papa Murphy’s pizzas for us. Their friendliness is encouraging :)

Also thanks to the dozen or so folks from our old neighborhood who dropped by to say “bye,” or who cooked a meal for us when we were too tired to even think about that, or who helped clean our old house (one amazing woman spent two full days helping clean—I’m speechless), or who helped us create a bit of order out of chaos when we arrived, or who spent several hours helping me setup the TV so we could watch General Conference. God bless you all!
