We are slowly getting settled into our new home. We are going to be living with my Dad to help him get out of some financial trouble. Let me say it is a very interesting experience moving back home after you are married.
We have been having to clean out a lot of things to make room for our stuff. It doesn't help that my Dad is a pack rat. There wasn't even any room in the garage when we arrived to unload the truck. We had to spend a few days getting rid of junk before there was even enough room to put our boxes. The process of moving in is ongoing.
I just hope that living in my Dad's house doesn't drive me completely crazy. We are trying to make the best of it. There is just a lot to do.

Move In Delayed
We were planning on moving our things in today, but my Grandma is sick and had to be hospitalized. So, instead of our original plans we have spent the day at the hospital off and on. My Uncle Ray and Soren gave her a blessing. The doctor told us she is really bad and that she most likely will not make it.
I felt so bad for my dad and aunt when they had to tell the doctor how much they wanted done for her. They told them to do their best for her, but not to put her on a breathing machine or feeding tube to keep her alive. She hasn't has much quality of life and they don't want to prolong her suffering unnecessarily. I don't envy them the decision they had to make.
At this point we are just wanting for more news on whether she has been moved to an actual room. They have had her in the Emergency Room all day.
If it is the Lord's will I hope Mimi (my Grandma) makes it through this. In she does pass I'm sure she will be happy to be with my Grandpa again. More than anything I just hate to see her the way she is. I miss my Mimi that I fought with almost constantly when I was a teenager. I also miss the times that we would sit and talk for hours. I look forward to a time in the next life that I will able to give her a huge hug and talk with her again.

We Arrived Safely
Just in case anyone is wondering we arrived in California safely. We had one mishap before our journey started. The moving truck wouldn't start when we went to leave on Sunday. It got too cold and the diesel fuel gelled up. Penske had to send someone over to tow it away and get it warmed up. On a positive note they payed for our hotel room and I decided to go with a room that had a whirlpool tub. Soren and I took turns spending the evening soaking in the tub. It was so relaxing!
After that we didn't have any problems. It was a little slow going through parts of Montana, but we got through okay. When we got to Nevada we had a marathon driving session and drove 13 hours in one day. Soren drove the moving truck and I drove our Isuzu Trooper.
We are moving in with my Dad for a while. The last few days have been spent cleaning out my Dad's house in preparation for us moving in. A lot has accumulated in the last 13 years he has lived there.
