We're in ...

  Save for a few odds and ins, we've made it into the place in record time.  I have to say that we would have NEVER been able to do this if it weren't for our AMAZING friends.  Those folks loaded up trucks and company vans and moved ALL of our stuff up and got it into the new place in one night.  We are blessed to have the friends we do.  I know that I've said this before.  But, I can't reiterate it enough.  It's amazing.

  We spent the rest of Friday night trying to relax.  This means beer/wine/etc.  

  We got to catch up with Sandi and Jeff and their boys.  They flew into town, after living in Japan for 2 years, on Thursday.  They spent their Friday night moving all of our crap over here.  Those people are warriors.  They didn't even deal with the jet-lag.  They spent their first full day here helping us move.  Who in the hell does that?!  They spent the night with us, as we all stayed up way too late.  It was fantastic to be with them.  It felt like those 2 years had never been missed.

  We're settling in just fine.  As a matter of fact, we're feeling like we belong here ... like this is the home that we were meant to have found.  I went upstairs and and shared a glass of wine with "T".  We chatted about her weekend at her beach house and our visit with Otis tomorrow.  He's still at Doggy Boot Camp.  So, we have to go and do a 2-week training visit.  Should be quite entertaining.  I miss him terribly.  Cannot wait to have him back and in my new place.  T has no hope of getting that damned dog back.  He's mine, I tell you!

  Silas and I caught a Mariners game today.  It was great.  Our favorite server at The Wing Dome asked us to come, as she had extra tickets.  It was fantastic.  The Blue Angels are here for Seafair Weekend.  They flew over several times.  So, it was quite the show.

  Okay, off to bed.

  Thanks to those that were our saviors this weekend.  You'll never know how much we love and appreciate you.  I cannot imagine that many people have the type of friends that we do in their lives.  What a shame.  If you don't, look for them.   Make yourself that person.  If you do, you will find them.  And when you do, your heart will, certainly, be at rest.
