Roughing It

Moving is always an ordeal. Throw in a toddler, two dogs, another house, and non-professional movers, and you've got yourself a full-on fiasco! We fortunately received a lot of help from friends and family, and the move (well, so far. Eeek!) was fairly smooth. We can say that now.

The transition was pretty rotten.

• We had to move in the hottest part of summer with no power. So no lights and no air conditioning.
• We had to wait to get our gas turned on (requires power be on), so no stove. We've eaten enough McDonald's to last us our lifetimes.
• Getting Internet service was a nightmare, so blogging, emailing, online banking, and fun webstuff was a distant fond memory for some time.
• We didn't get our washer and dryer over until two weeks after we were sleeping in the new house.

All is well now for the spoiled 21st century Americans. We're considering applying for Survivor...
