Well, I've been most remiss in posting, but that's because we've been busy moving! The last week has been exhausting, as Josh and I stayed up late most nights to pack. Thank God for our good friends Edward and Elisa who came over Thursday night to help with all the loose ends. My parents arrived late Thursday night, and Friday began the great Josh and Mary move of 2005. Friday, my parents and I loaded boxes into the truck and cleaned the new apartment (which was disappointingly filthy). Thank God for Patrick, also, who helped move boxes like a maniac on Friday evening. Friday night, all of us headed to a great Mexican restaurant in C-ville, where we experienced tasty food, the great salsa circus, and Patrick speaking Spanish to our waiter. Saturday was the BIG DAY. Thanks to lots of help we got everything moved in relatively record time. Sunday brought us to the task of cleaning the old apartment. Here's to men who clean (namely my dad and Josh)!! You rock!

Yesterday was a day for relaxing. My parents and I spent some time at the pool at our new complex, which was enjoyable. It was nice to have my parents here and I am so appreciative of their always willingness to help (and to drive 7 hours to do so!!!) Thanks to their help, our new apartment is in much less disarray than would be expected. It is shaping up quickly.

This is a short and pathetic post, just to let everyone know what we've been up to here and why I haven't been posting. I will try to post more this week on more substantial topics. But, for now, this will have to do. Moses is biting me because he wants attention - so I better go see to that.
