We're here...yet homeless

Well, we are now officially moved. Unfortunately we are ready ahead of our house! For the time being we will be hanging out at the Amerisuites and enjoying not having to clean. We had the inspection on our house today. Everything looked good except for a crack that runs from the foundation to the top of the master bedroom. The owners had a structural engineer come out...he said it's fine...uhhh...I don't know anything about it, but it just doesn't seem "fine" to me. The housing inspector said that it would cost about 5-10 thousand to fix and I'd hate for the repair to fall onto us.
We also joined the YMCA. It's only a mile from the house and has a lot of great things to offer. Dan was really impressed with the workout room, the kids with the childwatch room and I with the...uhh...well, maybe I will like the aerobics classes they offer. Too bad I have a huge phobia of leaving the kids where i can't see them at all times!!
We also found a goodwill close by. This is very important for a large family! We went in looking for a crock pot and a glass bowl for the microwave at the hotel and somehow came out with kids books, kids videos (the hotel has a VCR), and some toys. The kids were smiling and we were just completely bewildered at what had just happened. Good thing the toys, books and movies were all 99Cents.
Dan starts work the day after tomorrow. I am so scared to get lost! Good thing I have my handy dandy GPS. Thanks Dan :) We will hopefully spend some time at the YMCA and maybe find a park or 2 that we like. The weather is supposed to get much warmer by the weekend.
I will post pictures eventually!
