I'm back! We've been immersed with moving fun these past few weeks. It's crazy how much longer moving takes when there are just two of you lugging boxes out of the old place and into the new place. There was certainly a moment or two when attempting to move things like the king-sized bed mattress with no handles where that "crazy" felt downright nutty and almost impossible, and maybe even a bit lonely. I like the city, but I haven't really made any friends here. Luckily I've got a really sweet fiance and dog- but my dog, unfortunately, has no opposable thumbs.
Took a walk this morning on the trail next to the river in our new neighborhood. It's kind of exciting that we have this new place to explore. Next on our long list of things to do: buy groceries, figure out why our cell phones won't get reception in our apartment, figure out a storage solution for 12 cardboard boxes full of art books and supplies, and get some friends with opposable thumbs.

Congrats on your new place, Nicki! I'd love to see pictures if you have a chance to upload some. And I completely hear you on the friends thing. Moving (especially in a city) and growing older seems a difficult combo for making those kinds of friendships where helping each other move furniture is just part of the gig. Ho hum...
Dad and I were willing to take a trip in the F-150. He is itching to travel but I am not sure if he is ready for the gas tank fills!! We even went to Larchwood Iowa for flowers just to say I got out of this city of ours!! It was fun and we stopped and saw his old work buddy Vince for a few minutes.
