So, the past few weeks have been a whirlwind of activities.  We  have FINALLY finished the move to Birmingham.  The transition would have been a lot smoother and quicker, but we have decided to build a home here.  We had to move half of our stuff to a temporary apartment and the other half went to storage, so we essentially have been moving twice and in weekend increments. Have you ever notice when you move, you have WAY more stuff than you thought?  Where does it all come from? Does it just multiply while you are packing?  It is all done now… (well, until the house is complete).

This week, I was staying in Gadsden to help the moving company when they came.  We had already had our internet transferred, so I felt stranded.  I must have ran down the battery a million times on my phone trying to stay in contact with civilization.  Honestly, it is so hard for me to believe that I actually had to live and breathe without being connected to the internet. It’s pretty lame how entangled and dependent my life has become on the world wide web, I know this.

Anyhow, during this whole moving, no internet adventure… we celebrated 2 birthdays (my husband’s and my own).  It was definitely a new birthday experience…packing, moving, unpacking, organizing.   It was not horrible, just different.  So, here I am… typing this blog post in our new apartment.  The atmosphere is quiet and calm as I try to catch up on all that I have missed.

The fur-babies are taking quite nicely to the new place, though they keep forgetting we have neighbors and frequently use their outside voices instead of their inside ones.  The kitty seems to be more social here… probably because the place is smaller and she has fewer places to hide.

So, HELLO Birmingham… here we are!

Here is what is left of the birthday cookie cake my husband, Greg, brought me amidst our unpacking.
(It was delicious… I think I may go have another slice now)
