Quick Note

It's been a few weeks now since I last posted. Truth be told, I haven't much had the stomach for blogging.  I've been too busy, too stressed, or too tired. We are finally in our house and have gotten the good news that our shipment is at port and should be released later this week.  We are expecting delivery this Friday, July 2nd, with a chance that it will be over the weekend or at the latest Monday, July 5th.  What a day of independence for us! It is so very much time to stop living out of suitcases and go back to having things like cheese shredders, trash cans, hangers, extra blankets and familiar towels at our disposal.  It's been a solid two months now since we last saw most of our possessions and it's definitely been a lesson in patience.  It's also been eye opening about what we can really live without!

The kids have been troopers.  Considering everything we've been through to transition to this new adventurous life, they have come through with flying colors...and a couple of tantrums.  I think all three could have been handed an award for most creative, worst timing melt downs over the past few weeks, but generally speaking they have handled everything well.

Cory is enjoying his job and gearing up for the onslaught of work that is landing on his desk.  The company has been amazingly flexible in allowing him to focus on his personal business first and get his family settled, which has been a huge blessing.  That said, his purpose here is to work, and it's time to get geared up.

I promise to myself and anyone following that very soon there will be more to look at and hear about as we finish the last of our to-do list in getting settled: move belongings in, buy car, get kids in school.
