more unpacking and packing . . .

I need to change the name of this blog to: Moving/Packing/Traveling since it seems like that’s all I have to write about lately. We’re home and doing lots of laundry to keep from tracking the kilos of desert sand we brought back with us to our new house when we move tomorrow. (Notice how I used the metric system there? I’m so international. Either that or I’ve gotten a side job as a drug dealer.) We’re too tired to pack up the hotel like regular people and I’m sick of trying to fit everything back in our suitcases, so Josh went out and bought some plastic tubs to throw a bunch of stuff in. We figure the boys can use them as clothes hampers in the new house since we don’t have those anymore either.

The plan is to pack up and check out of the hotel tomorrow morning while Josh picks up our house keys at the embassy. Move everything over to the new house, return the rental car, then Josh has afternoon meetings at the embassy and we will figure out how to get settled in the house while he’s off doing that. Then hopefully we can go grocery shopping so we can eat real food tomorrow night (so sick of eating out/getting take-out).

Oh, and we may not have internet for a few days. It depends on when Josh has time to get it set up.

Here’s a taste of our weekend. More to come after we’re settled:

warm desert evening
swimming and splashing
flips and tricks
