Sorry about that! I know it's been too long since my last post. I wish I could put a mini video of the last week on here because it was a CRAZY one! I'll break it down:
Wednesday: flew back from Boston, found a hotel across from our new condo so I'd be ready to move in "early" Thursday.
Thursday: Notice the quotations around "early" above. I had to check out, but LJ and I swam, waiting for the go-ahead call that would let us into our condo. They were supposed to be in and moving furniture by 11 a.m....ummm, it was 4 p.m. When they left at 11 p.m. that night, (gasp! I know), they still were not done. Not sure exactly what they were doing, but it took an hour to make a trip with an end-table, it seemed. I had to negotiate with them to help me get Lance's truck (full of our stuff) from the field and unload it.
Friday: still mass chaos, stuff everywhere in the apartment. If they brought stuff up, it was thrown onto the floor. I know I sound bitter, but I'm not really. It's just the honest-to-God truth. I work as quickly as I can to get it into liveable fashion. At 3 p.m., I pick up my mom at the airport. Thank goodness! Another set of hands!
Saturday: By now, we are in and it looks like we've lived here months. We spend the day at the pool and then go grocery shopping.
Sunday: Happy Easter! We tried a nearby church with a complicated check-in/check-out procedure in the nursery, (computers, sticker name-tags, etc.) but it was good. Praise God for such an awesome day! Lance came home that night. He had never even seen the street we live on, much less the condo, (trust, right?). It was a treat to give him a home-cooked meal in a new home.
Today: We went to the mall where my mom taught me even more about shoe-shopping. :) I used to feel intimidated in nice shoe stores, but I'm finding my feet now, (pardon the pun). We did some damage! :) Opening night was tonight for the Rays, and we dressed LJ in full uniform and enjoyed the night. It's now 9:50, the 7th inning, and he's been asleep in his bed for over an hour. We made it a quick one.
Sorry there were no pics this time. I hope you guys are doing great!!! We miss you lots.
Love,
Jamie

Whew what a whirl wind! I know you don't want to post this so you can e-mail me, but where did you end up finding a place? Is it near International mall? My brother (he's a GYN-Oncologist) and sister in law live a great area in Palm Harbor with lots of young kids and tons of organized activities for the kids. Let me know and I can get you in touch with Molli!
