It's about over.....I think

So our moving fiasco has pretty much come to an end. Of course, Logan got really sick and feverish while I was at my moms, and then I came down with a cold that wiped me out the day before we were headed to Billings to unload the truck(or load up and then unload AGAIN). That really ticked me off because I was really preferring to have my health since I was really needed. BUT my wonderful brother Jamason saved my hide and drove down to Billings with my hubby and they did all the hard work, while my wonderful mother and little sis drove me and the kids to Billings later that day to arrive at our new home will almost all of our stuff inside. ALMOST EVERYTHING? Everything but my big beautiful oversized couch that would not fit in through the narrow, low ceilinged hallway no matter how hard they tried. I am so disappointed because that couch is the only nice piece of furniture that we own. It really dressed up my living room.

So, what are we going to do? I dunno. It rained the other day, so we threw a tarp over it. We can store it, but that's pretty costly for just a couch, so we may rent a small truck and drive it to my moms to store it, but then I got to thinking that she only has room for it in her basement and she has a narrow, low ceilinged hallway too. Ahhh, blast that oversized sofa! And blast narrow hallways and low ceilings.

Mom suggested that we may be able to store it at my grandma's house, but Jon just started his classes today, so I'm not sure when we'll get the time to drive up there. We'll see. So once we figure out the best way to get this sofa off the lawn, we can focus on what we are going to sit on for the next year. Isn't life fun? I'm not stressing about it, I just thought I'd post this as a contribution to all the other posts of things that have gone wrong with this move. Everything!

As a good point, I'm almost all unpacked and my new place is coming together nicely. I think it is a decent place, considering we didn't have much time to find a place to live. It has lots of lawns for the kids to run on, a cute playground, pools, hot tubs, saunas, exercise room, and its on the border of a park which has a splash pad. Me and the kids are going to have lots of fun this summer. And my new ward is so friendly. I've never met so many friendly people on my first day at church. It was nothing like the other three Utah wards I've been in, where hardly anyone says anything to anyone unless they are the bishop or relief society president. Sorry-I love Utah, but that was the common experience for me when in many new wards.

So, I look forward to this new ward and also...another cool thing...there are tons of mormons in Jon's program. I am suspiciously beginning to wonder if the director of the program had a bias for mormons. (He is a mormon, but unfortunately he had to recently step down for health reasons. There is a new director of the program, and he'll sense somethings awry since another professor is mormon and that a handful of the students are mormon. There is one other couple in our ward that is in this program and that LDS professor I mentioned is in our ward too. Crazy huh?

I'm sorry I've had no pics to post yet. This is the first day we've had the internet and I haven't downloaded my camera yet. One day
