I also felt like I had Ty Pennington (off Extreme Makeover)in my backyard. Josh had a 9 pound bass fish that was hanging in our guest bedroom. Well little did we know, that the moving company would send a THIRD PARTY (as they called it) to our house to make this stuffed, dead fish a crate to travel to Mobile in. This man drove all the way from Prattville to make Mr. Fish a crate. He also treated us to singing and dancing in our backyard as he made this crate. He was HILARIOUS!!
I arrived home from work Wednesday to an EMPTY house!!! VERY EMPTY!!! All we had was a few personal belongings and 2 air matresses (that didn't work)! Here is the air matress story: Josh started trying to blow up the air matress Wednesday afternoon. Well, I got a call about 4:00. It was Josh, and he was very FRUSTRATED, because he had been blowing up the air matress for 30 minutes, and it wasn't going anywhere!! Needless to say, he didn't realize that the plug wasn't in the other end of the air matress, so of course the air was going in one end and out the other. So I borrowed an air matress from a friend to get us through the night!! BUT.... apparently while my friend was moving, this air matress got a hole in it and we were on the floor by about 2:00 that next morning. It was the WORST night of sleep ever!!! Besides not sleeping a wink that night, Josh got me up at 4:30 to load the car and head to Mobile!!
Finally, we arrived in Mobile Thursday morning around 8:00 or so. The movers started unpacking around 8:30 and finally left us with it around 2:00. They were a tremendous help and I am so very thankful for all that they did!! They did a wonderful job! After the movers left, we both just wanted to get a good, long, hot shower and take a well needed nap. BUT.....
unfortanetly our water heater was gas, and no one informed us of that until it was too late. So we had to take a COLD, VERY COLD shower Thursday, which was not fun at all. We finally got some HOT water Friday afternoon, just in time to take a shower before heading to the baby doctor.
Our baby appointment went great!! We really like my OBGYN and the hospital. We didn't get to see our little one, but we do go back in 2 weeks to do our first ultrasound. We can't wait to see our little cupcake and know that it is healthy and growing.
Josh and I visisted Woodridge Baptist Church on Sunday!! We went to Sunday School and Worship and met some great people!! The service was great!! We hope to visit a few more churches (Sonrise, Day Spring, etc.) around the area.
Well, I hope I didn't bore yall with my moving stories, but I am so glad to finally be, for the most part, settled in to our new home.
Just please continue to keep us in your prayers as we are searching for a church, as our baby grows, and as Josh and I are learning our way around Mobile!!
This was the fish man!! He acted just like Ty Pennington!!!
All the boxes, plus MUCH MUCH more!! I think they unloaded 194 boxes and pieces of furniture off the truck!! How did we get so much?
Goodbye Albritton Road!!

I wish we had had those wonderful movers a couple of weeks ago! We STILL have stuff that hasn't been moved! It's amazing how much junk you can accumulate in a very short period of time!
Glad y'all are moved and into your new house. Let us know what the Dr. says! How are you feeling?
