Matt's moving :(

Matt starts his new job in Des Moines on Monday. He's excited and nervous all at once, but looking forward to it I think. He doesn't have an apartment there yet, so he's staying with Matt & Erica in Ankeny for a couple (few?) weeks until he can find one.

IN THE MEANTIME......he is homeless. Well, not really, but he officially moved out of his old apartment Sunday and has been shacking with different people this last week. It's kind of weird having someone live (even for a couple days) with you again. The last time he really lived here was probably 3 or 4 years ago. It's a little strange. But it's been nice to see him, I think it's going to be more challenging to see him once he moves to Des Moines. He can't just call up 30 minutes before to go have lunch with him. I guess it's just one more reason to go visit Des Moines!  This dogs do like having someone else to sit on and cuddle, though.

I do hope he finds an apartment soon (and I'm sure Matt & Erica will agree in a few weeks) because he moved all of the stuff from his apartment to our house. It's amazing how much you can accumulate in just a few years.

And this in only part of it, the back bedroom is full, too, as well as part of the garage, and he STILL has stuff in his old garage to move! 

He had to give away his cat, because most places do not accept pets, but evidentially his things still smell like her because Roxie keeps going downstairs to sniff everything. Tai, even after 1 1/2 years, will not go down the inside stairs, so he just waits at the top.

Have a great 4th of July! We are going to Joe & Lauren's to grill out and watch the fireworks.
