The Adventure Begins





















The last 5 weeks have been very busy. It all started with our farewell talks in our ward in SLC on April 25th. When we got home from church our real estate agent called us and told us she had a full price offer. By Thursday we had hammered out an agreement and that started the ball rolling towards the mouth of the cave with us in the cave. (see Indiana Jones the first one) We then had to get everything moved that we wanted to keep to Mt Pleasant because we only had the 8th and the 9th available to us for an estate sale. The McAdams decided that they wanted to buy most of the furniture we were going to sell, so we only had household items and stuff that you wind up owning but not needing after 18 years in the same place. Even our kids did not want most of the things. Well the sale went on and surprisingly most things sold. I only had to take about 2 trailer loads to DI. Elle's picture got uploaded by accident but she is so pretty she gets to stay. Next we had to get the house cleaned. That took about a week for Tracy the gal that has cleaned our house for 10 years and 2 other people she brought with her. We closed on the 19th. We took a load in the Xterra to Mt. Pleasant on the 20th. We then drove back to SLC and we slept in the house for the last time the night of the 20th they bought our bed. The 21st we tended Kimball and then drove to Mt. Peasant with another load in the Xterra. We went by way of Nephi because they are resurfacing the road between Fairview and Thistle Junction. A couple of miles outside of Nephi the care starts really running poorly. Chris has to finish the story in the next post.
