Update

I've been meaning to blog about our move and everything, but I've either been busy or too tired. I was going to detail all our stuff being packed up and everything, but suffice it to say it was very nice to have movers pack all our stuff and truck it on down here. They packed it up on Thursday the 30th, and loaded it up on Friday and headed on down the road. The next three days were filled with cleaning, touch-up painting and minor repairs, and we are indebted to our family and friends for all their help with everything. Especially since it was in the high 90s and into the 100s that week.

On Tuesday we flew to Austin and rented a car to drive to San Antonio and pick up our cars at our friends' house. They had been shipped there a few weeks before. We went to our new house and turned on the AC (it was 93 degrees inside), then went back to our friends' house for dinner and a dip in their pool. When we got back to our house it was getting down into the 80s inside. We set up our air mattress and set up Joshua's pack 'n play and camped out in our house until the moving truck arrived on Thursday. My mom also flew down Thursday afternoon to stay with us for a week and help with the unpacking. The next week was filled with a flurry of boxes, packing paper, and sorting out where everything should go. We're still not done yet, but it shouldn't take very much longer to get it all unpacked. Then there's the matter of putting up the curtains and the pictures on the walls and everything. It's starting to look more like home.

We've done some fun things, too. Last Monday we went with my mom downtown to the Riverwalk (pictures to follow in another post), I went to the temple for a RS enrichment activity, and my mom watched Joshua for us one night while we went to see the new Harry Potter movie. We've gone to our new ward a couple times now, and even though it seems small, we're meeting new people and getting callings soon. Josh and I went to a play group yesterday made up of moms and kids from the ward, and I got to know a lot of the moms and Josh had fun playing with the kids. Hopefully we'll all be able to make some good friends.

The weather had been hot, hot, hot. Thank goodness for air conditioning everywhere. Adam's commute is 20 minutes from leaving the front door to sitting down at his desk, which is very nice. We've been here for a little over two weeks now and we are enjoying all the space in our new house and are settling into our new life here in San Antonio!
