Gustav is on his way!

Well, what a welcome to the gulf coast!  Since we have been here for 2 weeks, we have had Fay which luckily pretty much missed all of Mobile and now Gustav.  We celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary yesterday and spent a lovely day down in Gulf Shores.  We were told it was really quiet for Labor Day weekend, but we enjoyed the lack of crowds. :) As Gustav is approaching, we looked to our neighbors as to what to do.  Nobody is really doing anything different!  Our next door neighbor took her wreath and flag down, so just to be on the safe side, we put all of our patio furniture in the garage.  Better to be safe that sorry.  Andy is now whipping up some Hurricanes and Mid-Atlantic Crisis beverages for our adventure.  Thanks for everyone that has called to check on us.  We are doing fine and will update later.  There are no evacuation recommendations for our area as we live north of I-10, so we are just hunkering down for a bit of wind and rain.   

We made it to Mobile!

Sorry it took so long to blog, but it took about a week to find the computer.  We have been in our new house for just over a week.  We love it!  We are cooking our first meal at home and Andy just found the silverware (just in time)!  Wow...moving is just really not the most fun thing to do.  We are so excited to be here, but I am still waiting for the unpacking fairies to come and make these boxes disappear!  Oh well, I guess we really have to do it ourselves.  

Here is the best pic of our unpacking thus far.  Well, first of all the moving truck didn't get to our house until Monday, so Monday night 9 and 1/2 hours after the two movers unpacked the truck...  Needless to say, we were pretty tired!  Stella too and she found a very tight path to the back of the office full of boxes to her bed.  She didn't mind that a box was even on her bed.  

Anyway, 1 week later and we have a den, kitchen and the office is almost put together, so hopefully by next week, I will have some updated pics of our house to post.  We miss all of our friends and family in KC, and hope to see you all soon!  PS.  Tropical Storm Fay just gave us a little rain, so no torrential down pours this time. :)

Packing...Fun?

Well, here we are in the final days of living at 101 E 49th.  As you can see, we are having tons of fun packing!  Stella has been a great help...she is not quite sure what is going on, but I know that she will love her new house.   The packers come on Tuesday followed by the movers on Wednesday.  I can't imagine having to do this without movers.  Well just a short note, I just heard Andy pull into the driveway, so Stella and I better get back to work. :)
