We made it!
We drove all Sunday night (the 18th) and arrived at our house in Baton Rouge on Monday morning.
Alice and the animals did really great.
We spent the rest of the day unloading our 22ft moving truck.
Can't say Stephen and I were the most cheery people that day.
The neighbor has a very sweet and friendly golden retriever that Alice quickly befriended.
Thankfully the dogs befriended him too.
Home sweet home:
The rest of the week Stephen had orientations at school and I did some unpacking and organizing.
Our furniture and kitchen stuff doesn't get here till Wednesday, which is much later than we expected.
So there is still a lot to do once the furniture comes (unpacking clothes and books etc.)
Stephen is very excited about his program.
The more he meets the students and learns more about the program the more he likes it.
It's turning out to be full of conservatives (very rare to find in a political science program).
And even quite a few Christians.
We went to a BBQ on Saturday with his fellow students and I was the only wife and Alice the only baby/child.
Everyone was very nice but it is very different for me to be the older one in a group.
It was also funny for me to hear all the conversations going on around me about political science/theory.
Even a box of cookies spurred a political discussion.
It made me so happy for Stephen.
It's such a better fit then the military get togethers were they talk about sports, being hooah and getting drunk.
Today is Stephen's first day of school.
Alice wanted to go with him :o)
But alas she has to stay home with me a deal with the cats' revenge for the long car ride.
They peed in our suitcase.
Did I mention we don't have our washer and drier yet?
:o(
