I am pleased to report that we made it to ABQ with no trouble! The drive here was long but uneventful and we were all thrilled to pull into our hotel after a long day in the van. We are currently staying at the Hyatt Regency in Downtown ABQ , which is a super-comfy hotel. And yet, it isn't a home, which makes it tough to settle into with all of our kids.
Speaking of home, we saw our new house today for the first time! Sure, we've seen pictures almost weekly of it, but pictures are not the same as seeing it in person. Wow- it's huge! I am already overwhelmed at the idea of painting the interior and taking care of the odds and ends we want to as soon as we move in. At the same time, I am so excited to make this house ours. We did the pre-closing orientation on our house today and the kids (by kids I mean the little ones, M and G) were rather naughty. Nate and I had to pay attention to Cindy, the community rep, while she explained various aspects of our house to us, and all M and G wanted to do was run around like monkeys and scream at the top of their lungs. Luckily for us we were able to put them in the van with the bigger kids and turn on the DVD players to keep them happy while we listened to Cindy give her spiel.
We won't close on the house and get the keys until Thursday, so until then we are amusing ourselves as best we can in our new city.

Welcome to your new home! My girls have been visualizing you and your family traveling and wondering where you might be on given days. So glad we can imagine you in NM safe and sound!
so wait a second, if you don't have your house yet...where is all your furniture? Glad you made it safe and sound by the way. How did the pets do? No puppy vomit in the car?
