Update on Palmer Move

Hi all,
I meant to post this a couple of days ago, but things have been a little busy around here. :)

I'll start with Wednesday before we moved (on Thursday) was my last day of work. I had been sick for almost a week and finally
went to the doctor. I was diagnosed with borderline pneumonia, which I definitely did not have time for. Then, Thursday we were
packing and loading the truck when the tornado sirens started going off. Being that sirens go off often with no results all the
time in Memphis, I wanted my guys to hurry up and load the truck- not taking a break.. Then after I was a slave driver, I found out
that there really was a tornado that touched down within a few miles of my house. (crazy, huh?)

Since we got a late start- weather/health related Thursday- we ended up driving all night and getting into Gulf Shores (with no sleep)
early Friday morning. We got everything unloaded Friday, and Saturday morning. By Saturday night, I was totally unpacked and
all pictures were hung by Sunday night.

Kevin and I were both due to start our jobs Monday (today). When Kevin went in, he found out that his new boss had a car wreck
last week and will be off work until Wednesday. Hope he does get to start Wed. He does too. ;)

I started my job today too. I really like the place. The people are nice, and the work is both challenging as well as familiar to what
I was doing in Memphis.There are great benefits. The only drawback is the 40 mins. drive each way. Before starting my job, I went
for another interview closer to home. They are interviewing all week, and will let people know Friday. I thought I wanted that job, but
left feeling like the job I already got was the best one for me- in spite of the drive.

I guess that's it for now. Keep in touch.

Love, Becky :)
