Back from moving Sarah!

Phewww! What an exhausting job that was! Every time we move one of our kids they seem to have more and more stuff! This was the 8th time we have moved Sarah since her freshman year at Michigan State! It's a good thing we love her so much! Even though we had movers it was still a lot of work! But we are so relieved now that it is done! Sarah is in such a nice area, compared to her old place. We moved her to a place called Mud Island. Contrary to it's name, it is a beautiful place right on the Mississippi River. Even though it is farther from University of Memphis, where she goes to school, it is a small sacrifice for such a lovely place! Even though we were very busy moving we did take a little time out to enjoy ourselves and spend some fun time with Sarah! Saturday we ate at a place downtown called Huey's which looked like a dive when we walked in, but the food ended up being really good! It stopped raining for about a half an hour so we could take a walk on the Mississippi River Trail. We were a bit shocked to see how flooded the river was past it's banks! By the photos you can see how deep the water came up to the trees! Sarah said there are park benches somewhere by those trees under all that water! It rained the whole time and the river got even higher while we were there! Since Sarah's new apartment is only a couple hundred yards from the river we were a little concerned, but think that she will be okay (thank goodness, she's on the second floor). Now she is good until this December, then she will be done with school and needs to move back! Aye-yi-yi!
