Moving Day

...came upon us, at last.

We survived.

We. Are. Tired. Mumsie came to help us finish up, though. She is the best!

We said goodbye to Amerige Pointe, Starbuck Street, and Fullerton.
We made peace with the fact that neither of us were bold enough to either whack the hateful little dogs next door, or at least inform their owner that we wanted to.
We had some rather nice, hardworking movers that wrapped up all of our earthly possessions and fit them inside of a moving van.

By the way, I said goodbye to my Civic Hybrid on Monday. Yes, we sold it. And I will never again allow myself to become emotionally involved with a car!

We are currently at Josh and Laurel's house, where we will spend the night. Laurel is making persimmon cookies. Interesting. Jeff and Josh are playing Halo.

Our house is on its way to being ready. We had the final inspection yesterday, but we haven't had confirmation of the city inspection. Until the city approves the building, we don't have an official address, and so we cannot set up our utilities. We are not yet sure when we will finally close on the house.

Tomorrow, we will head on up to Visalia ("We may not be much, but at least we're not Bakersfield!") and hope for the best. I can't wait to see my kitty cats again. They are staying with Grandma and Grandpa Feely until we can settle them into their new home.

Finally: Support the Capriccio Gelato Cafe, on Starbuck Street! It is between Fantastic Sam's and H&R Block. It just opened, and has unbelievably good and authentic Italian gelato. Jeff and I will not be there to support it anymore, so you all need to step up and keep the love flowing. For your next coffee date, forego the coffee and have gelato instead. Or guys, charm the ladies with your sophistication and cultural know-how, by treating them to a satisfying (and satisfyingly priced) little dish of this good stuff. Grazie!
