We've really enjoyed the last couple of days since we arrived in Lubbock. We had 5 guys from Sunset school come help us unload the truck which was a huge help. We finished in an hour and 15 minutes. Kimberly (Kristina's sister) and Dods are here to help us unpack and organize. It has been a huge blessing. I can't imagine trying to do all that we've done on our own while taking/corraling Noah and Juliana. We set up a bank account with a local bank (City Bank) and they gave us $50 for signing up and 4.18% APR interest on our checking account that is completely free of fees. They also pick up the tab on any ATM fees we run into anywhere and provide checks for free for the life of our account. I can't imagine better service or perks.
I've felt a little like Bob Villa the last couple of days trying to diagnose and fix problems around the house, though I work much more experimentally and take five times as long. I've really enjoyed the feeling of success when I've finished each project though. I've never been much of a handyman, and I think this is good practice.
Everyone has been so friendly and helpful since we arrived, and the weather is beautiful. It sure has helped in the transition into our new home. (At least on our end). Thank you for all of your prayers and words of encouragement as we were preparing to go. Just know things are going very well.
Until next time,
Jeff
P.S. We'll get some pictures uploaded as soon as we find that box :)

...and i'm no bob villa, but take it from me - don't try to install one of those little ice maker lines to your fridge using the "screw-in pipe piercing pointy thingys". it's better to go buy the adapters and frankenstein something together with "screw-together" parts... ;)
