Well, the last few days have been very busy, but for the most part, things went as planned. We left ABQ early on Saturday morning and arrived at our new apartment in the early afternoon. It was definitely hot while we unloaded the truck, but it could have been worse. The apartment is a little more rough around the edges than we expected, but our landlord is a really nice guy and I'm sure he'll get everything taken care of in the next few days. Of course, even as is, it's SO much nicer than our last place. I would love to post some pictures, but I can't find any new batteries for our camera, so that will have to wait.
We had a lot of help with moving and getting settled--my dad drove our U-Haul, mom and grandma drove their car, Mark and I drove ours, and Mark's parents and sister flew out. I think it would have taken forever to get all our stuff and furniture unloaded and set up without all those extra hands. Besides unpacking and arranging (and rearranging) furniture, we did get to sample some of the local restaurants and take the family to see the university. Mark's brother Damon recommended Biscuit's, so we went there for lunch one day and enjoyed it. We had also heard good things about a local Mexican chain El Charro and Tucson's #1 pizza place Magpie's. So we went to El Charro yesterday and Magpie's today and they were both excellent.
Right now, we've got all the major stuff unpacked and just have a few more boxes to go. I'm also sure there will be more reorganizing to do as we go along. But, we've still got plenty of things on the to-do list for the week (MVD, student ID cards, register for classes, buy parking permit...). I hope to also have some time to just relax and maybe even sight see before the semester starts. Well, that's how things are going so far. I really will try to get some pictures up in the next few days.
