The three of us finally got a week’s vacation which ended up being a stay-cation which was actually a move-cation, what with August 1st being Moving Day.  Though a lot of our week was spent putting all of our belongings into boxes recycled from our last move and back yard fence building and king size bed shopping, we did find some fun along the way, including a visit to the newly opened science museum and Huck’s first trip to the drive-in movie theater.  But mainly this week Huck got his new locker and his PE shorts/shirt set and his middle school schedule, what with August 4th being The First Day of 5th Grade.

If you’ve recovered from that heartbreaking picture, here we are at the end of Moving Day in front of our beautiful temporary house.  The real owners (and our good friends) will be in England for the next 11 months, which means before you know it we’ll be filling those boxes up again while Huck learns a new locker combination.

Here’s proof that we’re living in a math professor’s home …

This was our 12th move together, Troy and me, and I can truly say never have we grunted more, what with our matching plantar fasciitis and middle aged bodies crashing in on us, occasionally experiencing brief hallucinations that water and good friends ended, than this one.  At the end of the night Huck expressed his love for moving days because their horribleness makes the evening of relaxation so wonderful.  For now we shall sleep in our wonderful new bed by night and enjoy our glorious front porch by day while Sunny sleeps in her newly fenced in little yard and remind ourselves that we really like adventure.  And ibuprofin.  And a glass of wine.  We really like adventure and ibuprofin and a glass of wine.
