We're here!!

We have finally gotten to Louisville. I think this has been our life goal for years before we were even married. Now we have the chance to get settled and adjusted before I start my job and Louie starts school--both on the 16th. I can already feel the angst surrounding the evening of August 15th. In other awesome news, Louie has been offered a part-time job at Kroger in the meat department pending background check and drug test. This is such a blessing considering we are now paying for Louie's school.

We've almost dug out of all of the boxes from the big move at the beginning of this week. A HUGE thanks to my cousin S and her husband R who love us enough to haul all of our junk into a small apartment!! I'm so glad we have family living here--it makes me feel closer to our hometown in Richmond, VA. My grandparents were so very generous and bought us a washer and dryer AND a microwave. It's hard describe the swelling in my heart that comes with having family who enjoy spoiling us. We'll take it while we can! On Monday night Louie's sister, Laurie, came to visit for a couple of days on the way back to school in Kansas. Having her here was a good transition from having my parents and grandparents here since they left on Tuesday morning. We're looking forward to a visit from Louie's dad and other sister, Megan, in a couple of weeks.

All in all, we're ready for grown-up life to begin.
