Off to a great start!

This is the post I tried to put up last Monday (7/12), but it gave me lots of trouble so it's going up now instead:

Wow what a weekend!! THANK YOU to our wonderful parents for sacrificing their time, homes, schedules, vehicles, and muscle power to help us make this big move possible! We absolutely COULD NOT have done it without them! We're fairly settled in to our new -GORGEOUS- home in San Antonio!!! We arrived at 9:40 pm on Friday night, and by 10:30 pm had a 16 ft moving truck, Darrin's truck, and 2 Expeditions completely unloaded and 2 beds setup and made! We spent Saturday unpacking and putting things away. Our moms went to town on the kitchen while I ran around trying to unpack and being sidetracked by one little project after another. Darrin and our dads went to pick up the [nearly] new washer and dryer we found on Craigslist (which, by the way, is becoming my favorite "Garage Sale" website EVER!) and installed it. By Saturday afternoon we were in pretty good shape. We even got some pretty patio furniture and pink hibiscus flowers to make it look like home from the minute you drive up! My family had to head home Saturday evening, but Darrin and I went to dinner with Martha and Eric at La Margarita's. I already love the food and culture in this city!! We spent the rest of Sunday unpacking and doing a little bit of decorating. We’ve got a lot to do still, but here are a few pictures of our little work in progress (with a few extras from the weekend thrown in the mix)...

Unfortunately, I had to leave to come back to Bryan last night (unfortunate that I had to leave Darrin) because I still have 2 weeks left at my job. I’ll be staying with my family for the next 2 weeks – my poor dad will have 5 women in his house again!! Please keep us in your prayers during this transition. Darrin is starting his new job, we’re going to be apart, and we’ll be racking up quite a few miles over these next 2 weeks! And the adventure begins…
