From Wichita Falls, TX, we drove most of the day to RGBI. We arrived just after suppertime. Our classmates, Paul & Roxanna greeted us and helped unload the van. It was great to see them again and we're very thankful for their help. I was not looking forward to the unloading process.
Above: What our living room looked like after unloading. We pretty much left it like that for the night, since we all were exhausted from the trip.
The next day, the kids reacquainted themselves with all of their toys that we left in Texas. It kept them busy while we started the unpacking process.
Over the summer, RGBI remodeled our bathroom. We now have a shower that doesn't leak!
They installed a new tile, sink, wall, and shower fixtures.
On 08-08-08, we invited the Wilson family over for supper to celebrate Paul and Roxanne's 24th wedding anniversary. We also watched the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics. It was a great time of fellowship and relaxation before the rigors of school pile on us.
Hurricane Dolly had gone through the area two weeks prior, and the grass was growing like crazy. I volunteered to mow a couple of hours to help RGBI catch up with all the work. During my high school and college years, I worked at a golf course mowing, so I love to mow. The downside of mowing that day was all the chigger bits I got on my legs, due to not wearing long pants. 
The kids were invited to Jesse's birthday party. Jesse is Jordan and Ben's best friend here on campus.
So the first week was relaxing and we were able to get a lot of things done in preparation for school to start the following Tuesday.
Then it happened....
Come back to hear what that "it" was.

Cinderblock and green interiors. Another thing about the Rio Grande Valley I had forgotten.
