We are officially in Pullman. To give you a quick rundown of our trek, our friends had us all freaked out because of the weather (snow storms and all). We woke up Friday morning to a blue sky and wet, not icy roads. We were excited and started out at 9:30am. The plow truck had not made it outside of Twin Falls, so we were forced to stop in traffic for an hour and a half. The roads weren't bad, but everyone had to go slow because the snow wasn't plowed. To make a long story short, what should have taken six hours took ten. I did so well in the car, no bathroom breaks except for lunch.
I guess it had snowed so bad here in Pullman that they cancelled WSU on Thursday and Friday. Only when mt. st. helen's blew was school closed before this. This worried us a little, but once again, we woke up to blue skies and clear roads. We pulled in around noon and opened the door to the apartment we'd be staying in for the next 4 weeks. I hate not having my own stuff. We are left to cook w/ a couple pans, 2 wine glass, and some plastic silverware. needless to say, I will not be cooking gourmet meals. And this makes me more anxious to get into a house. And yes, this is a retirement community. you just have to look at the bathrooms.
We did go out with a real estate agent and after spending 3 hours looking at homes, I think we are ready to put an offer on one. It is really nice and we are hoping and praying to get it. I promise to send photos if it becomes our next home. The great thing is it is move in ready, which means we could be in the home within two weeks (before the baby comes). This would be most ideal.We went to church today and love the ward. I even found out that my Ob and Family doctor is the stake mission leader. Not that it matters that he is LDS, but it just makes it really nice. Not only will he deliver braden, but will also be his doctor (and mine too). He came highly recommended from some young sister's with kids in the ward.
Everything is working out great. I am excited to keep you guys updated with how things are going out here. Buying a home, adjusting to the area, and MOST IMPORTANT, having this little guy.
