The Big Move

Friday we packed up our car and headed to Nevada. Friday night we stopped in Elko, NV and stayed the night at Greg's aunt Lynette's. We hopped back in the car the next morning and made it to our new home in Gardnerville, NV. That car sure was packed and made for a long uncomfortable drive.

Unfortunately, all we brought with us to Nevada was the stuff that was in the car.  Due to the some delays in the relocation process we have to wait for the movers to move our stuff for us for a couple more weeks. So, we packed our stuff and stacked it all up in the living room ready for the movers to pack in their truck when they come.

We are very grateful to Greg's cousin Ben for all his help in our moving process.  First of all he helped us clean up the apartment before we left and is going to clean up everything that got missed and is going to clean the living room after the movers come. He is also going to supervise the loading of our things on to the moving truck and get us checked out of the apartment with the landlord since we are already gone. Thanks Ben!

This is my 19 week 1 day baby bump picture during the packing process. It is no suprise that my body ached after all that hard work.  I can actually report that I look pregnant now. At church on Sunday, 2 ladies in the new ward asked me when my baby was due. Luckily, one of them, her husband also works for GE and was able to recommend a doctor to me that is covered by GE's health care plan.  Church was actually kind of funny because a large portion of the ward works for GE and some of them knew Greg's name, having heard it being passed around and meetings at work. Also, when we told the bishop we moved into a duplex in the Ranchos area he asked if it was Cabernet (that's the name of our street.) We thought that was a shockingly good guess. Turned out his wife works at the property management we rented the duplex from. Anyway, seemed like half the ward knew we were coming before we got there.

Well, without our stuff we have a pretty pathetic set up in our empty apartment.

At least, we have an air mattress and the T.V. We also got our cable, internet, and phone set up today. We also ordered a washer and dryer at Home Depot to be installed on saturday and we put in some window AC units to keep our new place nice and cool. We also have one room in our house we can be proud of. It's the only room that is finished and has everything in it: the Master Bathroom.

We are really happy to be here in this new house that is much much better x100 and  we are excited for Greg to start his new job. We will be ecstatic when our stuff makes it here too.
