We Are Alive!

It has not been easy, but we slept in our own bed last night. It was wonderful! Between the drive to Idaho (over 8 hours through heat and lighting storms both of us hauling trailers), the unload (98 degrees, un-skilled movers, and a wood floor you could not walk on), Murphy's law (cut gas line, no hot water, and a ton of 'little' things), we made it!

I relax now on a couch looking out a bay window watching the sun rise while air conditioned cold rains down on me. This is good because yesterday the temperature was 102 degrees! The A/C has run non-stop to keep the house at 70 degrees day and night. I don't think it got below 75 over night, but today has started with some cloud cover, so I am hoping for a cooler day.

The master bedroom has been our unpacking focus so far, as having it completed brought a certain feeling of calm to our lives. The guest room, sitting room, laundry room are also pretty much done.

Mishra the cat has not missed a beat! She is doing well and if you need to find her just head to the nearest A/C vent or under a ceiling fan. For her the day consists of sleeping, the night learning the new house and trying to wake Deb and I up.

Today we are going to lay low and not do too much, as a break is well deserved and much needed. Breakfast is on my mind right now. We found a small cafe in Kuna where we both had a huge breakfast with coffee, the bill was only $11.43! Gas here is currently $2.81. Trash service is $32 dollars a quarter, no limit on how many cans! I guess with as hot as it gets here no one has the heart to charge you.

I plan on heading to an internet coffee house today and uploading some photos, so get ready.
