Greetings from Al*bama...

Well, we are slowly getting settled in our new house and new location. What a few weeks it has been. We are bone tired and ready to be settled. We decided to move ourselves this time and boy what an adventure that has been! But, God is good and He has seen us through. Everything arrived safely and in one piece, which we weren't sure for awhile was going to happen. We would be happy to share our whole long drawn out drama over some St*rbucks! Part of our moving drama included a new tenant in our house in Texas that wanted us out before we were ready. Of course, the new tenant moved in about 10:30PM when we were trying to clean the house for our 9:00AM final walk through.

Here is the new tenant ~ a 4 ft long King snake (we think that is what it was)

The kids were playing outside and saw it go in the outside dryer vent which of course was open to the laundry room because the dryer was on the moving truck. Again, God is good, He made sure I was out the house when it went from the laundry room through the kitchen out into our sunroom. I have an unhealthy fear of snakes and it is killing me to even put this picture on the blog but I promised my family I would post a picture on the blog for them. Thank goodness for the p*lice that came to the house and "took care" of the snake! Gary was willing to let the snake have the house, since we were done with it! He took pity on me and my terrified face and called for reinforcements! It turned into quite the neighborhood spetical as they all came over with their cameras and cell phones. I had my neighbor take the picture with my camera because I wasn't going to get that close to it! Well, we have more boxes to unpack. I will try to update more later once we get internet connection at home (we are at the local bookstore!).
