ok, back to live action. i have been consumed with the process of moving these last few weeks and can now say it is officially complete. all in all, there were very few snafu's, and nothing lost or broken (that i am aware of). the household is functioning at a low but acceptable level. all furniture is in place, food is being stored, communication devices functioning, and clothing accessible. scattered boxes remain strewn about various rooms and a half a garage still contains items waiting to be deployed but we are moved! for the record, the new address is:

3056 stinson court
new brighton, mn 55112

i was happy to be able to take several days off of work to help in the transition. i was starting to feel like i need to come back to work to rest. however, upon returining to work, i am having second thoughts on that. nevertheless, this huge step is behind us and we are exited to be in our new home.
more to come...
