It is official: I am a Missourian. My license says so.
I totally underestimated a lot of things about this move. Here are some of my lessons learned:
1. It is TOTALLY different to move with a baby than it was to move when it was just Josh and me.
2. Having movers does not mean that the house will be settled by the time they leave.
3. Transition is exhausting, thus leaving even less energy to get the house settled.
4. Not knowing how to get to Target, a grocery store or a gas station can add a lot of stress to your day.
5. Meeting new people is fun and exhilarating, but being known is priceless.
6. There are a lot of decisions to be made when getting settled in a new town, and I am not always good at "grown up" decisions.
7. Fitting 1500 sq feet into 950 sq feet is going to be messy... and somewhat impossible.
8. I really enjoy(ed) Virginia Beach and sincerely miss my friends...
9. People here are very friendly and the community is great.

I'll be praying extra hard for you guys this week. Contact Susan when you can--she's actually family and I know she would love to get to know you guys and might well be a potential baby sitter in a pinch. She's a real sweet heart. She's also love to show you around but you have Courtney for that too. Still she might know other parts of St. Louis well.
