I've decided to actually start posting on this blog again. Life feels fresh and new. Our long awaited move to East Oakland took place on Saturday, aided by wonderful friends from near and far who cleaned, packed, bought more boxes, bought food, drove the UHaul and even took down the Direct TV boxes from our new house. I was reminded how blessed we are to have a multitude of friends and family who care about us. My parents watched the kiddos for a long weekend while we worked on the move. Since the move my father in-law (since called a rock star by some friends) has been rebuilding and repairing all sorts of things around both houses. We are sharing a duplex with our dear friends Damon and Alice Snyder. Our house is in the front and their house is in the back, with a yard in between. I'll post pictures later.
I'm realizing I'll have no problem coming up with things to write about. My mind is swirling with thoughts about Oakland and the people we have met in the last few days. This morning I woke up to the sounds of Dr. Dre blaring from the apartment complex next door. I would have thought that was so cool when I was 15, but it was not so cool this morning. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that I'm now twice the age of 15 and I have two kids and I'm tired.
Stay tuned for pictures of our new place. Peace

Wait - there's something here I don't get. You - drove the U-Haul? Literally U-Haul? Not like Kleenex as a standard proxy term for facial tissue, or Kool-Aid for nasty colored sugar water? You mean you went with U-Haul, and you actually got a truck, on the day you expected it, and were able to fill it and drive it?
Amazing. This may be unprecedented in my experience. You must have a secret, dude.
