We've Arrived!!!!

After 5 days in the car with two fantastic children we have arrived! What a relief!

We had our share of hiccups including pouring rain, tornadoes, thunderstorms, our 2 year old car braking down, and our last day of driving included making up for lost time with over 700 miles to travel. Yikes! Our kids were wonderful troopers with the help of DVD's, childrens music, and some Shrek toys/cups at McDonalds. We dont often buy McDonalds, let alone Happy Meals but when it came to helping us on our adventure we went.

After arriving, we had to be moved to our 3rd room (1st one smelt of smoke- which I have come to really appreciate CA laws of no smoking!!!, 2nd one had some broken ammenities), the fire alarm went off at 1230am the 1st night, and then yesterday as we tried to get some house hold items a flying/rolling tire came right at us as we drove. Thankfully it did not hit us, but it scared us all!

Today we went to sacrament meeting, and it was a wonderful meeting on temples. We spent the day in our place getting organized, playing, reading, relaxing, and eating. Tomorrow Caleb starts his new job, and we are excited!

Hope all is well with everyone!
