*We got a lousy Budget truck that wasn't a Diesel so on our way to Boise through the hills and passes, the truck was overheating so we were going oh, about 25 mph up the hill just chuggin' along while everyone's passing us. Embarassing. I hate being passed.
*While in Boise, we got to meet up with about 1/2 my family for Shay's 1st Birthday party!
*Left Boise/Nampa at 5:00 a.m. (4:00 Pacific Time) and didn't get to Tacoma until 2:00 p.m. which should have only been about a 7 hour or so trip.
*While driving to Tacoma, the truck overheats again going up the steap mountains so we have to stop several times to let it cool and once again we are traveling about 10 mph this time. Lucky for us we didn't get hit with cars coming around the corner or whatever.
*We unpack the truck in the blasting heat of the day at 104 degrees so we don't get much accomplished. Luckily, Clay calls up his old Bishop and he brings his family to come help. What a blessing. I started tearing up when I saw them pull up. We get the rest of the truck unpacked in less than an hour which would have taken us the rest of the night. THANK YOU!
*We also find out that our neighbors (the other side of the duplex) got "broken" into earlier July after the person couldn't get into ours. Our previous tenant actually used the security alarm therefore the burglar/drunk couldn't get in the window.
*Our 2nd or 3rd night we were watching a movie with our blinds and windows open around 10 p.m. Clay changes the water at 11 p.m. Our movie gets over at 11:30 p.m. Clay goes to shut off the sprinkler and it's GONE. Our neighbor rings our doorbell wondering what's going on. She got hers stolen too. She said it was probably the little punk gangstas.
*I have heard just about 10 sirens already around the neighborhood just today.
*Today is Clay's first day as an official Mortenson Construction Member, or whatever you want to call it. He has no office yet so he's using the Superintendent's while he's gone and is out on the site for a while!
*I'm glad we have an alarm system, yet I still have freaky dreams that people are getting in and stealing things from our room while we're "asleep". I'm trying to get over that and know that we're a lot safer with the alarm. Welcome to Tacoma. Definite culture shock for me.

I'm Done!
I'm Done!
We also visited one of the first and biggest REI's so that was a quick trip to Seattle.

I can't believe you are GONE!!! Well sounds like you guys had quite an adventure getting there. Honestly though, I've never heard anyone moving a long distance without something going wrong! But you made. Yes post pictures of your new place! And whats up with someone stealing your sprinkler...lame. Well hey I don't know if Linda at work got a hold of you, but she said she never got your new address to send you your check. So you might want to call if you haven't already talked to her.
I'm so glad you guys made it safely! That's pretty scary about the burglar! Hope that wears off. We miss you guys already!! :)
You should get a dog!!! Teach it to bark at people who come inside. GO PUPPIES!! seriously though it would help alot because if burgler know you have a dog they are less likely to rob you.
Miss you... i wish i ciould see you. Will you come visit us sometime/
