The big move!












Well we did it. We made the big move.

We (family and I) spent all weekend packing up boxes and moving them into the giant trailer thing dad built to help me move. It's enormous. I should get a picture of it before he tears it down. Anyway, it moved everything beautifully!

It took us 14.5 hrs to get from Reno to Tacoma. Which is exactly 1/2 hr too long according to Logan. At hour 14 he said "THAT'S TOO MUCH! LET ME OUT NOW!" Threw a proper temper tantrum and freaked out in general. We got here, much to both our relief shortly thereafter. Stephanie was awesome and left much needed alcohol and a shower curtain so we could clean up. Nik traveled well, but she slept the whole time. So they were all wide awake when we got here about 9pm. So the next morning I was up early running the dogs. Thankfully Stephanie was able to go with me and Olivia and Logan had a good romp. I also got to meet our new extended family, Mama Dog (Stella) and Creature (Nina). Nik thought that was too many weims, but she thinks one is too many.

Other wise we are settling in. Mom and dad have helped a ton. I've got an appointment with my office to go sign paperwork. I need to study some more and plan to take my exam either late next week or early the following.

We are getting there. The house is great, the dogs are doing well, other than Nik being a bit cold and needing her sweatshirts (which she has plenty of. She has an entire wardrobe! :)

So here are some photos of Logan and Nik playing at one of our new haunts, the wetlands about 5 min. from our house.
