I can see clearly now, the boxes are gone!

Well, most of the boxes are on the curb instead of in our house. It has been a bit overwhelming. Jay has been a huge help and has gone through a lot of the boxes while I find a place to put all of the stuff...oh, stuff. What would we do without all of this stuff? I'm so glad that we won't take it to heaven with us!!! Thank you, God!!!
Last night a good friend, Lauren, came over and helped me open all of my kitchen boxes. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid that all of the boxes would still be in there and we'd be eating take-out for another week!! I'm so grateful that she had the energy and enjoyed keeping track of how many boxes she had opened (it was a game to her). My kitchen is now put together and is the 2nd finished room in the house...all of the others are close behind!!
Tonight we ate with the Henry family. Jay and Nancy are our age and have three children the ages of our kids. We ate dinner at Jay's parent's (Pat and Helen) house and watched our kids swim in their pool. The boys had a ball and burned off a lot of energy that they had built up these last few days. Jay and I enjoyed getting to know another couple and we're so glad that God is placing new friends in our lives.
Below are pictures of boxes...and the house slowly rid of boxes (it's even better now since taking the pictures!!!) Also, there are pics of the kids tonight at the Henry's house. And...a frog. There are so many critters here!!!!! We have TONS of lizards (they are so cute), tree frogs (oh so cute), snakes, bugs, bugs and more bugs. I think that we look like we have come from a remote land and walked into Wal-Mart. We can't get over all of the new things (well, maybe I should say that I can't get over it. Jay and the kids seem to be just fine.) :)

The truck is coming!!! The truck is coming!!!

Now the fun begins....

Dang it!!! I should have never taken over. I don't even know how to delete the last post. I guess that I'll just re-post the 3 pictures that you can't see and leave it at that. Golly jolly holly bolly molly!!!!

Some pictures...how do you spread them all out??

Since I have taken over, I thought that maybe I should add some more pictures.

This is me, Amy. I am taking over!!!!

Okay, all of you are having so much fun with this so I thought that I would have some fun with you. Plus, since we just moved, this is the perfect time to start blogging. Now you will have to forgive me because English was not my favorite class. My writing is atrocious. Is that how you spell atrocious?? I didn't get a red line under it so I'm guessing that it's right.
I don't know what to write about. I just finished reading the 10 blogs that I read each day (an exaggeration) and decided that I needed to start. Now I am drawing a blank. Here we go:
Isaac is bossy. It drives me NUTS!!!! In fact, he is bossing Josiah around right now about where the crayons should go. Now they are saying, "No I didn't!" "Yes you did!" I know that this is all my fault. I was bossy. In fact, my brothers (without affection) called me "Mom". I hated it. I knew that I was bossy but I didn't want it pointed out to me. Now I get to hear the abnoxiousness (red line under the word) of it every day!! If I would have seen my future when I was the bossy little girl, maybe I would have changed my ways. Now I should laugh because I know that one day Isaac will have a bossy kid too. Yes, Mom, I know that you are laughing!!
