345 S. Northpark Lane is where the Butlers now reside. (South Northpark always makes me chuckle.)
The first few nights here have been better than expected, to my surprise. I thought I would be lonely and sad but instead I've distracted myself with some unpacking and laundry. It's nice that Phil works a minute, yes literally a minute, away from home. He's come home for lunch twice and leaves the house much later for work.
Speaking of laundry...we are proud owners of a Kenmore washer & dryer duo! (An exclamation point IS needed on this.) I have been enslaved to coin-operated laundry for far too long. And those of you reading this know me to let laundry pile up until I am swimming in it. Only then do I go to the laundry mat or ask Bekah if I can bring a load, or five, over. (She always says yes - thanks Bekah!) Phil somehow managed to unload the washer and dryer by himself. The box said it was at least a two-person job but he's not much for reading boxes. This may seem like no big deal but those clunkers are HEAVY. I was beyond impressed. Installing the dryer himself was another story. It's truly amazing what duct tape can fix!
Speaking of Bekah...her kids are too stinking cute! I love them to pieces and was psyched to get to spend quality time with them and Patti this evening. Home group didn't take place tonight due to a meeting of the HG leaders, assistants, and other important people (I know, we're all important people.) Patti, the kids, and I went to the Mall Deli where Audrey out ate all of us. No joke. That adorable chubkins can EAT! I can't wait until she's in Preschool with Patti and she's quoted in a blog; that will be hysterical.
God is incredible. I must say His grace is overwhelming in the best possible sense of the word overwhelming.

word verification: unsock
My favorite part of last night was when we were walking out to the car after dinner and Audrey said she was hungry. Where is she putting it?
M&S - "unsock"? is that what happens when you take your socks off? i'll be there in a minute, i have to unsock.
my word: tenod
my word: prever. Short for previous evening?
Patti - maybe Audrey is going to hibernate soon and needs all the food she can get now? She must be stuffing it in those cheeks.
M & S - What do you know what I mean? That was an awfully short blog comment, though I do appreciate it.
You wouldn't understand, Jim. It's a secret.
I am missing you already!!!
I mean we know what you mean about being in a new place and feeling overwhelmed but then being overwhelmed by God's grace and goodness instead.
new word: roppo
Wasn't he a Marx brother?
