Moving

We'd been living in a house in Oregon before we moved here, and have been quite cramped in the smaller space. This week we moved out of our apartment and into a house that we're now renting. It's so nice to have a garage again.


As for the move, Aria was out of control (as usual), so Tara decided to tie Aria to her, so she could help with the move. Once Aria was given a big piece of licorice, she bought into the idea. :) It was over 100 degrees most of the day, and only half the people who volunteered to help with the move actually showed up, but by 9:20pm all the boxes were in the house. As anyone who knows me can imagine, I probably sweated several gallons of water in the process, but at least it's now done. Tara was trying to assure me that life would get less busy soon by saying "just remember, all these things will pass." I couldn't help but retort "yeah, like a kidney stone." :)

Anyway, the place is a great blessing, and we signed 3 year lease, so we won't be moving any time soon. And we can't beat the price. We're renting the place at roughly 54 cents per square foot, which is quite a deal compared to most places in the country. So there are some blessings that come because of the recession.
