Crozet is the new Black......sburg

Ironically I write to you all from Crozet this Saturday morning.  However, we have "officially" moved!  Unfortunately it's been strung out because we have so much sh....er, stuff, that we left a lot in Crozet last weekend.  So it's back to make a few more trips to the dump, a couple trips to the SPCA Rummage store (donations) and load up trucks once again.  We'll be back next weekend as well for one last load and to clean the house thoroughly.

The move just sucked, and that's all I'm saying about it.  We were idiots to think two people could move a 1200sqft house full + appliances in 2 days without much help.  Next time, we're hiring people to help. 'Nuff said.

As for the new Burg, we love it!  Our little apt is perfectly sized for us at the moment (we've got a spare bedroom for storage of all our delicate stuff like nice pictures and printers that shouldn't be in non-climate controlled storage).  All the furries made the trip really well....Cato seems to dig living in a smaller space!  She was the one we were most worried about traumatizing since she's never lived anywhere else.  The Sam has been a spaz, and is torn between really wanting to explore outside but being scared of the barking dawg that lives below us.  The puppers are adjusting really well, but we've been very contentious about taking them for walks AM and PM.  Just down the road from our apt is an old farm which has been converted to a park with mowed walking trails around all the old fields....it's got a lovely view of the mountains and goes by a perfect pup-swimming creek.  In addition to that, the road we live at the top of goes a decent bit back into some older farm-ish areas.  It's a dead end, so it's a great road to walk the pups down and back on (and blind-dog Haley has an easy time on pavement).

I want to distribute our new contact info, but don't think posting it on the blog for ALL to see is the best way necessarily.  So I'll send out emails shortly, but for now if you're curious (and have a highspeed connection) you can Google map the road....Boxwood Dr. Blacksburg, VA....to get an idea of the area if you want.

Neither hubby nor I can believe it, but we don't miss Crozet (yet).  We're too excited to be in Blacksburg, I still can't believe I'm actually in grad/vet school officially, and we're both giddy with being able to bike to our respective work-places (my commute consists of 10mins of bike lanes and having to resist stopping at the Starbucks that is along the way!!).

More on the new lab, hubby's job, future plans, my hormone-crazed mare, and randomness later!
