We made it safely to Mansfield, Texas after a long, long trip. We had some issues with our U-Haul. The breaks started smoking, which set a sensor off. We waited 2 hours for roadside assistance to come check everything out. Once they gave us the go ahead, we finally made it to our hotel outside Little Rock at 2am. Thankfully, the second half of our trip was uneventful and David did really well driving our 26 foot U-Haul in the Dallas traffic.
The dogs did pretty well too. Frank did get stung by something and had a swollen ear for a few days, but otherwise they did really well. They have been catching up on sleep and enjoying their new backyard.
When we arrived at our new house we were very thankful to have 10 students waiting for us. The drive itself was so exhausting so we were both very thankful to have help unloading the truck. Luckily, everything made it in one piece too. We are so, so thankful to everyone who helped us pack up in Indiana and those who helped us unload in Texas. We don't know what we would have done without you.
David's been working hard at UTA, which leaves the unpacking to me. I've got the kitchen set up and how to start working on our bedroom today. I made my first venture out to do some shopping today. Arlington is so overwhelming compared to Evansville. I hate not knowing where anything is, but I suppose I'll learn overtime. In the mean time, I'm very thankful for my Homer Simpson GPS!
I miss everyone. It's been pretty lonely these past few days. At least I have Frank and Annie :)
Amanda
We miss you!!
