5 moves in the last year.

We're getting really good at moving. Almost too good, which means we've moved too many times. Last night we took 3 different Taxi trips to take the bulk of our belongings over to our new place. It was fun watching the Taxi Drivers struggle to lift our well packed suitcases into their cars. Fortunately for them, we did take pity and told them if it was really heavy and they should avoid lifting it. The best part of moving was not having to walk up the stairs, but rather getting into the elevator (lift) and taking it up, up, up until at last we reached the 29th floor!! As we rode the elevator, we decided that if for some reason the elevators are out of service we will call in sick :) 29 floors is a LONG LONG LONG way to walk.

The house has a wonderful feel to it already, and as Christina rightly put it; "It feels like a HOME!" something that our other place, no matter what we attempted to do, could provide. The view from the 29th floor is breathtaking, for more reasons the one. The sheer height, if you are not prepared, can not only make you feel weak in the knees but lightheaded as well. On nights like the last, crystal clear, the panoramic view is something to behold. Lights as far as the eye can see, and even our very own Laser show from a few different buildings above and within the cityscape. We're quite positive that up on the 29th floor, no students will be able to come to class the next day proud that they had: "Watched Mr. and Mrs. F eat dinner in their house on the sixth floor last night!!" (true story).

Today we'll take over the last of the odds and ends, give the old place a clean, and then be off to the new place, where we'll take it from being a 'HOME' to 'OUR HOME' for the next while.

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and that the Turkey sandwiches on Tuesday at work will hit the spot....
