"Home is where one starts from."

It is such a good feeling to finally be in my new home and be able to relax and enjoy the hard work that everyone put in this weekend. I have to THANK my family again for all that they have done for me while I was packing/moving/unpacking. It all started on Friday morning when dad started asking about a "mom and pop" restaurant at 5:15 AM and mom and I laughing hysterically at him and his asking 3 times. The truck arrived at 8:30 to load me up and that they did, the movers were AWESOME! and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. By 11:30 all was in the new house and the men were on their way to the next job. Mom, dad and I worked the afternoon trying to make some sense of all the boxes and where it was all going to go. Kristyn, Mark, Spencer and Connor arrived early afternoon to help - it was all on when they arrived. Everyone was working on a project, the boys were in charge of taking out boxes and arranging my video tapes and DVDs. By nightfall we were all exhausted, and ready to sleep and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and get a good nights sleep. Saturday dawned and we were off to Bob Evans for breakfast then back home to finish up the unpacking and odd jobs that needed to be done. We worked another full day and went downtown to The Warehouse for a wonderful Italian meal and plenty of laughs. Sunday we were again off to Bob Evans for breakfast then home to see the big tree in the front coming down. Mom and dad loaded the truck and trailer and were on their way home, tired and ready to have a day to relax. Mark took on the task of cleaning my grill and revamping it with new briquettes. It looks great and I can't wait to start grilling on it this week.
Over the past few years I feel like I have been waiting to start something good. I have crossed that bridge and am starting something new and good. I am moving in the right direction and creating the life that I should have had but was to busy waiting around for.
Life is Good!

we were thrilled to share the move with you, and would not have been anywhere else this past weekend. you have a beautiful home! and it was so rewarding to contribute in a small way to this new chapter.
each of us achieve different goals for ourselves. we each find our way of reaching these goals not by accident nor by ourselves but with God's direction, God's timing and by God's agents (mainly family). it sounds as if you achieved yet another goal in your life, and all of us are extremely proud to be your family.
