Well, we are finally here. I am still exhausted. It feels good to be out here though. I'm just feeling my age and being out of shape doesn't help. The move has gone pretty smoothly. Nothing really big has happened. The details are on Jennifer's page if you want to know them. The drive was a long and hard trip for all of us. I would like to once again thank my mom for being willing to drive that massive truck. I realized towards the end of the trip that I probably could have driven it myself. But I'm very thankful that my mom was able and willing to do this.

One nice thing about moving this direction is you gain two hours as you drive. That really helped us out on some of those days. It was nice to get an extra hour of sleep on some of those nights.

As Jennifer said in her blog, I did get a job. It was very welcome news and made the last leg a little easier. There is a problem though. I'll be working in the same type of position that I was in at my old store, but they come in at 5:30am. This brings up a big problem for me. The earliest the bus can get me there is 6:13am. So, I'll have to talk to them when I go in next week and make sure this is OK. I think they'll be OK with it, but you never know. The store is huge. It's a two story monster of a store. It's pretty much twice the size of my old store. It was also interesting as we pulled up to it and saw the area that it is in. I wish we took some pictures, but we weren't thinking about that at the time. It's in a shopping center called Bridgeport Village. It is a very nice and fancy little shopping area. If you go to the link you can take a look at all the shops it has. Jennifer has already said that she'll be spending a lot of time looking while I'm at work this summer.

Well I think thats if for now. I'll leave you with a few pictures of our trip.

The weary travelers stop to look at windsurfers on the Columbia

The behemoth is ready to roll

So is Buddha

Oh, what a view. This is what we saw for 4 days straight.

Wind farm some where in Nebraska Wyoming or Utah
