Home Sweet Home…BRRRRR

Ok things are starting to settle down….

The past two weeks Doreen, Klaus (dad), Dirk (D’s bro), and I drove over 1,200 miles from sunny Irving, Texas to even sunnier Cleveland, Ohio! Ok that was a lie about the sunniness, but it was funny.  The drive was long, but yet Doreen and I made it fun by talking about all of our plans coming up in the next year…new house, wedding, getting settled, the winter, etc..

Klaus and Dirk graced us with staying until Wednesday of last week, we are so lucky to have them help us pack up the track, drive across country, unpack the truck, and of course putting things together!  Mo Mann made us a wonderful welcome home dinner, which included one of my favorites, BBQ’s chicken! thanks Mom!  Also, thanks to Dad for sealing our driveay, considering it has rained the past four days we are very happy to have that completed.  All the relatives and friends have made this move so much easier, and A LOT less stressful..thanks to everyone for EVERYTHING!

Doreen and I are learning so much every day about being new homeowners, what do you mean our toilet is running upstairs? My response,  ”Call the leasing office, they will fix it tomorrow”. Oh wait that doesn’t work anymore.  We got a lawn installed a little over a week ago, and every morning it feels like Christmas running outside to see if we have just ONE blade of grass!  To our dissapointment nothing has come up yet, but it better soon before it gets too cold!

We love our house, every day it is starting to feel a little bit more like home….We have shopped a lot for furniture but no luck there either.  Doreen is learning the area, I think she misses Krogers and the warm weather….

We will be putting up pictures soon of the house once we find the box with the camera in it, so please come back soon for them!  Again, thanks EVERYONE who helped in the move in anyway, i could type all the names but it would take forever to do, you all know who you are!  ;)

TSCHUESS and PROST!

New Chapter…

Sorry it has taken so long to update our blog, it has been kind of crazy.  Doreen came to Cleveland for a little over a week and we closed on our house, moved a few things, shopped, cleaned, spent our first nights in the house, and the list can go on and on and on…

Doreen’s dad and brother Dirk made it to Detroit and made the 20 hour drive down to Dallas to help us move later this week!  From the stories I am getting telegrammed, Doreen’s dad is enjoying the United States and amazed on how large the stores are here.  I can tell in Doreen’s voice on how happy she is to have them both here and I can not wait to see them on Thursday! 

On Saturday we will be driving the Penske truck from Dallas to Cleveland, hopefully we can do it in two days!  Thanks Josh for the hook-up with the truck! 

I got to enjoy another babysitting night with precious Alta and her shananagins this past Saturday!  Matt, goodluck to you, he will be running his first Marathon, i hope the kids and the family get to see you finish, wish we were there! What an accomplishment….

I promise to start updating the blog more often, i am sure so many things occured that i dont remember the past 2 weeks.
