Hi from Iowa

Well, we made it. Didn't seem like it at times but we finally left Rexburg. Despite all the problems we made it safetly and are settling into our new place. We got here about 11:30 on friday night after turning down a dead end street and almost getting the moving van stuck. We had plans of unpacking are bed so we could go to sleep but first we had to unload the pickup truck off of the car dolly because it was blocking the whole street so after struggling with that for a while in the darkness, we got it off and out of the way. While we were unloading the truck it started to rain really hard so we were out getting the truck set up and everything in the pouring rain. We decided that since our bed was behind a layer of boxes that it would have to wait till it wasn't raining. So at about 1:00 in the mourning we decided to go explore Davenport in search of a 24 hour Walmart. we drove the wrong way until we found a gas station that was open. The lady there was able to point us in the right direction and we found it. we got ourselves an air matress and came home. It was 2:00 now and we were exhausted so we set up the bed and tried to go to sleep but the dogs were wide awake. Being new upstairs neighbors we didn't want our first night to be a bad one for the person below, we had to have the dogs be quiet. We found that Dermit would be ok in his cage if he was in our room and had something to chew on and Bob just wanted to wandering around our room. In the mourning he had found a nice spot on the air matress by Falene's legs. So we have been unpacking and getting settled in. Falene is at a Job placement company right now getting set up with them and has also found a few jobs at the hospitals around here that she would like to apply for. We just got the internet about an hour ago so that will make our job hunting much easier. Maybe on the next post i'll get some pictures from outside. The pictures are of the stairway we come up to get to our place, our kitchen, living room, second bedroom (Den), bathrom, and our bedroom. I think its kind of hard to tell the size of this place from the pictures, but it is actually pretty big. Big except the bathroom. The picture with me in it is me standing in the gap we have to squeeze through to use the toilet and sink. I hope everything is going great for you guys and we look forward to talking to you soon. p.s. Pardon the mess.

Hey, I'm glad you guys made it ok! The place looks great. I love your "cozy" bathroom. :) Who knows, maybe we'll get out there to see it sometime. We were chatting with Mom and Dad about maybe having a reunion for just our family out there next summer. We need to break Falene into Noah's Arc. I think she's the only one who hasn't been yet. (Well, except for my boys.) Good luck with the job hunting! Keep us updated. Love you guys!
