Of Human Kindness.

I recently discovered that my primary Love Language is "Acts of Service". This is a change from "Words of Affirmation". I wonder if age/life/circumstance shifts that for people? Like, I imagine being a mother of three...I probably won't be very moved by "you look pretty" (word of affirmation), or a bouquet of flower (gifts) - though make no mistake, I never turn down flowers! - but I imagine I would be moved to tears by a detailed car, or dinner on the table, or clean dishes. Circumstantial Love Languages...

That being said, we relocated the RV last night. We're now up in Spring. It's about 30 miles from our last Adventure Park. It's near where we've been house hunting, closer to the bff and kids (and dog play dates), closer to Rachel's work (whose car is falling apart and gets terrible gas mileage), it's a bit cheaper and WAY quieter and more wooded. It's adds an extra 1-2 hours to my day, but that's life...in Houston.

So, as we were getting the RV ready to be moved, we realized we'd underestimated the room we'd have inside. We put the bikes and patio furniture inside and the kayak on top of Rachel's car and we still had her little Honda Ruckus with no were to go. Why don't you just drive it, you say? It only goes 30 mph....and I-45 was pretty much the only way to get to the new place. Death was imminent, obviously. I went to ask one of our neighbors, whom we hadn't met until that very day, if we could park it at his place until we figured out a plan. And he said, "You know, I don't have much going on tonight, how about I put it in the back of my truck and drive it up there for you?" Murray, you sir, are a gem.

And he did! He wouldn't even let me give him gas money. So, now I have to think of something terribly clever and thoughtful to give him as a thank you. Any ideas??

Also, the guy who transported the RV for us, Charlie, is darling ("yes ma'am", etc.). I would like to find both Charlie and Murray ladyfriends.

We were up until about 11 last night setting everything up and connecting the water and electricity and the pooper. Then I was up at 5:30 + 2 snoozes for my new commute.

We're having an RV (re)Warming BBQ. I don't know if anyone reads this except my mom, Tiffany, and Suzy, but if you want to come play with us, let me know. We've got lakefront property now ;)

xo.
