HOLY MOLY


Okay.... so previous post "We bought a house!!" update. The house is great, beautiful, everything I want in a home for my family..... however, it took a week to get the electricity turned on and when it finally was... on Monday 6/29... it was turned off again on Tuesday 6/30. TXU screwed up and scheduled a move out on our new house address so we had power for less than 24 hours. Because it was ridiculously hot, Cody and sweet Kasey and Dear Jonathon carried stuff over and just put it in the garage, anywhere they could fit it. So needless to say.... I can't find a thing, namely my clothes box. I finally got through to TXU today and was promised that the electricity would be back on today... sometime before midnight tonight. Well thank you very much. Cody pulled the last little bit of things from the garage and back yard late last night and put them next to Kasey and Jonathan's driveway (middle of their lawn) the lawn mower, kids backyard toys, some nick-naks here and there.... possibly my box of shoes!!!! (Yesterday was the last day to get out of the rent house.) He took off to Tomball to work strength camp this morning and when he returned to load the items... they were gone, stolen... did I mention the lawn mower, kids backyard toys... POSSIBLY MY BOX OF SHOES!!!! On another note Case pulled a concrete block over onto his foot and thankfully he has a really deep bruise and not a break. After a 10:00 p.m. trip to the ER, where the x-rays were very interesting because he screamed the whole time; not from pain but from being made to do something he didn't want to do, they said he would be okay. A sucker, some stickers and a Curious George book made things better. As for me, it is all I can do not to lose my mind at this point. We are at our wits end... but hey... we bought a house.

Wow, I'm impressed with the other commenter!
I hope all works out and that your box of shoes is found in the depths of the garage. Sorry about the kids bikes and the lawn mower. And really, what is it with every time y'all move... last year didn't Cody misplace the cookware?

I had a box of shoes stolen out of my garage...and it was all my winter boots and leather shoes! I was SO mad...and still haven't been able to replace them all. Maybe you can go shopping soon! Be sure and post pics of your house once ya'll are in! Congratulations!
