Moving in!

Well, after what felt like days on the road, we arrived in Dickinson. Darin went to his testing for work, and Jo headed to the Motel to get checked in and somewhat situated. After the appointment, we came out to our new place. WHAT A MESS!!!!!!!! Things that were supposed to be done 3 1/2 weeks ago were not! HELLO, people move in day is TOMORROW, what is going on? We stressed, and freaked and met with the landlord a little later that night. She was able to smooth things over and promised things would be taken care of right away. We went back to the motel got some much needed rest, by this time Jo could barely talk let alone walk anyway, her cold was seriously kickin some butt now!

The next morning it was up and at em early. We had the internet people and the Satelite people coming. Then much to our surprise, Jo's parent showed with Lonnie in tow, only about 9 hrs early. Not knowing of our HUGE problem they left the night before and drove all night to get there to help us early. It was a HUGE blessing because with Jo being sick and coughing and so dizzy and being so short of breathe, she couldn't do much to clean. We were saved by family yet again! We got the place cleaned up enough to call it a day, went to our motels got some more much needed rest and began the next day early as well.

With the help of Jo's parents and Lonnie, Darin's dad and brother Derek, we got all of our things moved in, a pet door installed, a fenced yard built and the storage trailer set up. Every wall in the house had been washed, the bathrooms cleaned, it was time to start unpacking! We spent the first night in our new place!

Everyone left Saturday afternoon and even through exhaustion we kept going. Sunday we couldn't go anymore. Jo had overdone it Saturday and woke up Sunday again with no voice, Dizzy and sore. She slept most of the day.

Monday Darin started his new job and Jo went to work on settling in. It's taken about week, but we are pretty much in. There are still some things the landlord needs to get taken care of, like the skirting of the trailer and so on. But we are working on her daily for these tasks and also getting frustrated.
