Yup, We're Still Here!

We just wanted to give everyone a quick update on how things have been going here in AZ!
We started moving stuff into the new house early in July then took formal possession of it on July 15.

We were able to move all of the small stuff ourself but for the couches, beds, etc, we hired a moving company. After getting lost trying to find the old house, the 2 guys finally found us. They were incredibly conscientious and polite - DW was referred to as "Ma'am" and DH was referred to as "Sir". It was weird! We're not old!!

But these 2 guys did an amazing job for us and continually told us not to help them! We are just not used to not helping and it was difficult to not grab a corner of the couch or the edge of the headboard!
So we got moved in to the new place and we had our final walkthru at the old place on Sunday after spending time there on Saturday cleaning. Everything was immaculate Sunday morning until DW "pulled an Andrea". DH can fill everyone in on exactly what happened. But everything turned out well and we turned over our old keys to the gracious homeowners.
Here are some pics of our new place prior to us moving in.


And the dogs spent Saturday morning at the "beauty salon" and are ready to take a swim!

Phoebe (the little brown one) loves being in the pool and standing on the top step. She hasn't ventured out to swim yet, but we can see her being a water puppy!
Muncie on the other hand, wants nothing to do with the pool! We ask him if he wants to go in the pool and he growls a warning and runs away! We'll keep working on him!

And above is what an evening monsoon looks like. They really pack a wallop! Monsoons are very isolated storms and thankfully this one didn't roll our way!

well, there you are! Looks like everyone has survived the move! Let's hope that this place will hold you longer than the last. Too bad the other one didn't work but look what you got in place of it! What a relief to unpack those boxes, set up house, pour a glass of wine and relax in the pool. Way to go guys!
