We've moved to Birmingham!

We've moved to Birmingham!
On Saturday, July 26th we packed up our Penske truck, cleaned the house and headed out. After driving 2 1/2 hours in the pouring rain, we finally got to our house and were so excited!.......Until we started unpacking our stuff to store in the basement and realized that there were termites everywhere! For those of you who know me (Lindsay) well, you know that I HATE bugs, so I was extremely upset and paranoid about this. Fortunately our landlord is great and they took care of everything immediately, but for 5 days we had to store all of our boxes in the living room. Things are finally starting to look normal.
We had so many wonderful people help us pack, watch the boys, pack the truck and clean that we just have to thank them! To Becky, Steve, Kathy, Tommy & Pa- we cannot thank you all enough for coming to Chattanooga, packing us up, driving with us to Birmingham, unpacking in the rain, weathering the termites, spending the night and unpacking more on Sunday! There is no way we could have done it without you all. We really appreciate it! To Alex, Travis, & Patrick- thanks so much for all your hard work and muscles to move our very heavy furniture! I promise we won't be bringing the TV with us next year! To Benson- thanks so much for your help and for discovering the termites! To Julie for coming over to "play" with Anderson while I packed and to all the other people that offered to help- WE THANK YOU!!! The Lord blessed us with so many wonderful friends in Chattanooga and it was evident by how many came to help.
We'll try to keep our blog updated on how we're doing here in Birmingham.
