Hi all,
I'm creating this blog so we'll have a place to post pictures and such for the family to see all in one place, rather than separate emails.
Well, we arrived safely to Raleigh, NC Airport at 8:15am Thursday Morning. We were quite tired after a red-eye flight, but the animals required it because of temprature restrictions. They all made it here safely too. We were woried because the last leg of the trip had quite a bit of turbulence, but they were ok when we got here. Suprisingly, the aged Pink-floyd has made the adjustment quite well - and Tiger is the one that has shown the most stress. He's been wandering around aimlessly meowing loudly & wanting badly to go outside - which we won't let him do for quite some time.
We're currently in a furnished 3-bedroom appartment still waiting for our house in Utah to sell. We have 90 days of free rent here. If our Utah house doesn't sell by then, we'll have to find someplace else to rent (probably a house) and pay double for a while. I'm not sure how that will work, but we're hopful that the house will sell soon.
Our belongings arrived on Friday, just one day after we did... that was quick. We have most of them in storage (free for 90 days), but designated our clothes and food to come to the appartment. The closest super Wal-Mart is 10 miles away, but it sure felt good to go there & see something semi-familiar.
Anyway, the complex has a nice pool so the kids should be happy here. We're registering them for school tomorrow. Brennen will go to Athens Drive High, Sarah at Dillard Drive Middle, and Keri at Swift Creek Elementary.
Brennen's excited to start the October driver's ed classes! They have a graduated permit/license here so as soon as he's done his classroom work, he'll get a permit to drive with a licensed adult during the daytime for 6 months. Then they add nighttime hours for another 6 months. Then daytime alone is added for 6 months before they get a full license.
We'll post pictures (and videos when I figure out how to convert them to a smaller format) on here & send a notice of the post to the family so you can keep up on what we're doing. Isn't having the internet great when you live so far apart!
Anyway,
We'll talk with you all later.
