<<< Bus Options and Getting the Bikes Fixed Up

Moving in Houston in the Summer sucks >>>

August 26, 2007:

Last night, after our 5 mile run and tons of packing and moving, we spent the first night in our new house! The cable people aren't coming until wednesday, so there won't be too many updates on my sites until then. I'm updating from my cell phone now :)
