The Grand Tour

Everyone has been asking for more pictures of the house. Here they are. Some of them are a little blurry.

And here we go...

Here's the view from the front door. You can see the kitchen in the back. The downstairs bathroom is directly to the right.


This is the living room. The staircase is right by the front door.


This is the top of the stairs and the computer niche. Hannah's room is on the right, and the hallway to the other rooms is on the left.


Here are Hannah and Riley's rooms. The walls haven't been decorated yet.



Here is the spare room and the upstairs bathroom.


Here is the laundry room equipped with space-age washer and dryer that we barely know how to use.


Two views of the master bedroom.


Two views of the master bath. His and Hers sinks!

We'll keep everyone posted as we settle in more. See ya!

Oh, and email us at rhemerick@bendbroadband.com for our new address.

We've Landed!


Well, we made it. The fact that this post is appearing four days after the move should be an indicater of how crazy our week has been. It started off when I got sick at 2:30 am Sunday morning. That was tough enough. Then, the sickness lasted through the whole move. The trip up was pretty smooth. Other than my rising fever, we didn't have any issues. We made great time. We left Gridley at about 5:45 am and rolled into Bend at 1:45 pm. 7 hours ain't bad! There was a crew of people that showed up to help us.

There were only a few mishaps! Luckily, my dad and I were able to patch the wall.
And, it turns out that one of the gentlemen who helped us is a cabinet maker, so the door should be an easy fix!
The fun didn't stop there though! I got to visit St. Charles Medical Center's ER in the middle of the night with a 102 degree fever and what felt like shards of glass in my throat (illustration of course!). It was a nice place, for an ER. A couple days later and I am feeling quite a bit better. Well, I'm off to chisel the ice off my new walkway!
This has been a memorable adventure. One that I am sure I will be talllking about on the front porch when I am 80.
We'll keep you guys updated, and post more pictures of the house. Thanks for all the prayers and support!
