Hey everyone!
Here's our moving story...
We were supposed to have a 24 foot truck. They gave us a 17 foot truck. We had to make TWO trips not just one to our new place.
The same day we loaded the truck, we had an open house. I only wore my wedding band that day. The rest of my jewelry was in my jewelry box (including my diamond engagement ring). When we came back from the open house the jewelry box was outta sight. THANK G-D we found it in the end, got everything here safely, and we're starting to get moved in. I've found some babysitting jobs and an assistant teaching position...so I've been VERY busy!
WHAT A MOVE! You can't even IMAGINE the emotional turmoil my hubby and I went through getting here!
I hope to be on some time this week to get caught up on the boards and in everyone's lives. I hope everyone is WELL! I miss you all and I hope everyone is GREAT! Sorry I've been away SO LONG...things didn't go as planned!
Love,
Ruchie

Ruchie,
Sorry to hear about the dramas involved in your move - it seems to be a time when whatever can go wrong-will! I plan to stay put for quite some time after our last experience four years ago.
The main thing is that it is behind you now and you can get on with your new lives! How exciting! I'm glad you have found some work too, that's great. BTW, what is the role of teaching assistant? Do they have to be qualified teachers? We have Teacher Aide's over here, I wonder if that is the same thing?

Good to see you and hope you two can relax and get settled soon, after such a wild move!
You want a babysitting job???  Where do you live!?

Hey, Ruchie! Welcome back! I've missed you! I was beginning to think you packed your things and ran away for good. Glad to know you are settled (well, I little settled.)
Moving is always stressful. During our last move, the movers announced that our new iron bed would not go upstairs to our master bedroom. They said, "We're leaving it downstairs!" (Yeah, right! All our bedrooms are upstairs! Where were we supposed to set it up? In the living room?) I screamed and cried and then my husband finally figured out how to get it upstairs. Now, we may have to sell it with the house when we get ready to move---because we may never get it downstairs again!)
I am SO GLAD you found your jewelry. I thought you were going to say someone stole it. That would have been horrible.
That's terrific that you already have an assistant teaching job and some babysitting ones. That sure was fast!
Hopefully, you will be unpacked and making lots of new friends soon. Let us hear from you often.

Hey Ruchie! Good to see you! Glad you're finally getting settled in and everything seems to be falling into place. OMG - I would have died it I lost my jewelry, epecially my engagement ring. My stomach dropped when I read that. Thank God you found it! Remember, I'm still in the "honeymoon" stage of the engagement.  I still keep looking at my hand and can't believe I really have it! LOL Does that ever go away?
Anyway, hope to hear more from you soon.

First, welcome back, Ruchie! Let us know more about your jobs and all--sounds like fun!
Second, I just had to respond to what you said, Mags--Quote:

Today in the car my boyf said something that began with "When we get married," and I was just like, aw! How sweet! I mean, we've only been dating for six months, and my last major relationship lasted three *years* and it didn't work out, so this is really, really nice.
