It's been a while

So, I’ve been catching some flack from Bigshow.  Yesterday he told me there was something wrong with his computer.  He said, “When I go to your blog page and hit "refresh", it still shows your blog from last Wednesday as your latest one.”  Point taken.

We moved into the new house last Saturday, and since then, I’ve really lacked motivation to do much of anything else.  Once I got the TV and computer hooked back up, I was pretty content until I get time on the weekends to organize the garage and basement.  The fun part about moving was driving the truck I rented.  I got a 24’ moving truck form Budget, and it was bigger than anything I’d driven before.  It was a big diesel, and wasn’t far from a semi truck, but fortunately for me, it had automatic transmission.  At first I cut a couple of corners a little short and ran over the curb, but I figured out the proper way to turn pretty quickly.  I would recommend using Budget to rent trucks.  Actually, I’d recommend anyone but U-Haul, as I’ve had more than one bad experience with them in the past.  With U-Haul, just because you reserve a truck, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will have a truck for you the day you need it.  You’ve been warned.

The new neighborhood has been great so far.  We’ve met more people in less than a week than we ever did in our old neighborhood.  People have been very friendly and welcoming, and there are lots of kids around that Payton will be able to play with through the years.  I just think people are a little antsy, as most of my neighbors have already been out mowing their lawns.  The thing is, the lawns are just starting to green up, and nothing has really started growing yet.  I think they are rushing it a bit. 

Here’s a picture of the new house.

We’re heading to Davenport tonight to drop Payton off with my parents, and then Friday we head back to the Chicago area for my friend Jason’s wedding.  In honor of the occasion, I’ve written a haiku for Jason.  Want to hear it?  Ok, here it goes.

Getting hitched you are

That sounds like a Yoda quote

It’s about time man.

That’s it for today.  Next week I’ll post some pictures from the weekend festivities.  Have a good weekend.
