We have almost made it through the first week. Chris has been so busy, but he seems to be enjoying it. Sunday night we met the girls on our floor and everyone seems so sweet. So far Mops doesn't really like anybody, but she doesn't bark at the noises anymore. Elle hasn't really warmed up to anyone either, but she does act like she likes it here. Unfortunately, she's not sleeping well yet. Hopefully, it's just cutting teeth and she'll get better soon. I've been trying to unpack, but Elle makes it go really slow. Chris has dorm duty Sunday and Tuesday nights and then two classes each day. He has almost all the juniors and seniors so he's pretty swamped with grading and class prep for now. My sister and her family were here the last two days so we ventured out to the zoo and to an awesome restaurant called Pops! that has really good burgers and 500+ kinds of pop. So far I think the blessings of being here are outweighing the negatives. The lists look like this:
positives:
close to family
mops has a huge yard to run around in
elle has a huge yard to run around in
lots of people are glad we're here
cooler weather (yes, i'm saying this about okc)
great zoo
a great place for chris to work
eating in the cafeteria if we want
no rent or utilities
mops can go to work with Chris
we can pop over and see Chris
short commute for Chris
Cheddar bites at Sonic
sprinklers for Elle to play in
Chris and I have our own offices
enough space for all our books
negatives:
taking Mops out to the bathroom
not enough space for all our stuff
a long walk to the car
