We checked out of the motel, bought a ton of groceries (no cold stuff- no fridge yet) ant then

Congrats on a house. I bet its nice to have a permanent residence! We are currently looking for houses too. Hopefully we can find something and take advantage of the 8000 back! Have fun decorating and landscaping!
Congrats!!! Hopefully we can visit you on our way back home!! (IF that EVER happens...) j/k! Looks like things are going well for you though, hopefully you get settled in soon. Love ya girl!
It is great to hear that you are in your house and things are going to finally start becoming normal.
We can't wait to see your family again, hopefully we don't have to wait too long.
WOW, congrats on the new home, new life, new city, new job, new lost teeth, new backyard, new so much new stuff! How fun. Hopefully the feeling of "normal life" will come quickly and speedily--if it ever really exists, hahaha. :)
Congrats!
