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!
