This is it

Last night here.
On our way tomorrow.
Goodbye house.
Goodbye Texas.
Hello better place to live.

I just hope we miss the winter weather.  I just don't like driving in it.

It's been a little while...

...Since I've last posted.
To catch up:
Halloween was spent at Fiesta Texas, for Fright Fest, and thankfully, we had coupons to pay the children's price, instead of full price.  I'm glad we didn't buy season passes, as I don't think it would have been worth it.  When we got to the park, we practically walked onto the Superman ride, we only stood in line because I had never been on it and Pete said the front was the best.  So we waited.  We rode about 5 rides in 2.5  hours, and most of them were in the dark most of the time.  The Rattler was the last we rode, and for about 4 seconds, it was complete and utter darkness!  Crazy.   There were also park members well-costumed that crept, slithered or glided around, going after park-goers.  An 11-foot (or taller) Zuul-like creature with glowing red eyes almost wrapped me in it's cape/claws.  It was funny. :)  We also made the observation that not too many of the costumed park-goers had really tried all that hard on their costumes.  Why bother dressing up at all then?
Bah.
Our garage sale went pretty well this past weekend, our house is half-empty. 
Pete has spent the day stressed and ill, so I've been doing my best to care for him.  (As much as I can without getting sick myself. )  So, we'll be laying pretty low for a few days.
The movers come this week, and soon we'll be on our way home.
It can't come fast enough.
