Whew!

It was one week ago yesterday that we left Tucson. Four days ago we unloaded our truck here in Bowling Green, OH. Although we've still got some work to do, the apartment is starting to feel like home. The whole experience has been quite an adventure, but everything went pretty smoothly. We were thankful to have help from our friends and Mark's dad in Tucson, and from our families and Mark's new professor here in BG. Along the way, we were really happy to spend some time with Mark's sister and her family as well as his grandmother and uncle. If you have to make a cross-country move, it helps to have something to look forward to at the end of each leg, like a nice dinner with family. It didn't seem to take too long to unload here, and of course it was nice that it wasn't as hot as loading was in Tucson. Unpacking, though, has been a big project (along with organizing and shopping). Besides that, we were able to show our families a little of the town, and we really enjoyed sampling some more of the local restaurants. I hope to finish setting the apartment up in the next couple of days so I can post some pictures. We've got space for guests, so let us know if you ever find yourself in the area!
