The Joy of Moving

After packing everything in the house and piling it all in the living room,

We dragged everything out to these "relo-cubes." We were amazed that all our stuff fit into these two cubes including Dan's motorcycle.

With June's help we cleaned the house,
which made Bentley mad- He just wanted to go outside.
It had been a long day for all of us, but we finally got everything put together [thanks to the Anderson's] and we left for our 1600 mile drive to Texas.
Everything seemed to be going well. Until the second day of travel when we got pulled over.
Nothing to make your trip go down hill than to have a run in with the law.
Our third day of travel went smoothly until we arrived at our prospective apartment. After three wasteful hours and nothing more than a run around our apartment fell through. For the first time in our lives we were officially HOMELESS. Not a good feeling.
And being homeless is especially hard when you have two dogs, and a cat in tow. I could only imagine if we had kids. Anyway we have made a La Quinta our new home until we can find an apartment. Oh what fun this has been. All of the money we thought we were saving by getting a moving company, has now been spent on hotel accommodations. The good news is we made it here safely and we have really enjoyed our time here so far, (besides eating fast food for the last week-I am ready for some home cooked degreased food.)

On Saturday we enjoyed the Armand Bayou Nature Trail.

We are so excited to finally live somewhere green! Too bad with vegetation comes bugs! At least there was somewhere that we could go to relax and decompress. What a crazy, stressful and interesting week we've had. I wonder what we can expect next week?!
