We are, yet again, spending the night in a Holiday Inn. Not the same one we stayed in last night, no,no, no one in Oneonta, Cooperstown, Albany, or anywhere within 50 miles has any vacancy, except Schoharie (pronounced skuh-harry), which is about 20 minutes from Albany...that's fine...we still can't move in..plumbing problems, not with me, with the barn...HOUSE...sorry!
So we shall move in tomorrow morning, without the help of my mom, and my father-in-law...which, that's fine too, but just not something we had planned on... all in all the trip has gone very well...despite the truck breaking down in the parking lot, the pipes at the house busting, us not having much help moving in, not being able to move in until 5 days after we thought we were...things went really well. (despite my tendency to be cynical, the last sentence was not written with any sarcasm) We got to Cooperstown without any problems, the truck broke down HERE, not 800 hundred miles from here, and James and I are young, so moving by ourselves should be no problem! The dogs have been amazing, I really couldn't believe how well-behaved they were in the car.
We're here, i can't believe it! It was kind of hard yesterday when Mom left because it became more real that we're staying! It's beautiful here, and we got here at a good time of year ( so we have time to adjust before the evil of winter comes to lay his hand on us) Our landlord said the four seasons in New York are "almost winter, winter, still winter and Construction." GREAT!!!! No seriously, I am very much looking forward to getting involved with the church up here, we will probably lower the average age by 40 years!
the black dog is licking my toes, i think he's hungry....
Keep praying for us....we're praying for y'all ( i refuse to wipe that word from my vocabulary)
I had a lot of water....
basketball is on....so i'm gonna go..
more later....
cheers!

on the road again
FIRST....I'M GONNA BE AN AUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My brother is pregnant...no wait..my brother's wife Allison is pregnant!! Congratulations to them...I love you guys so much!! She's due around Christmas, so keep them in your prayers!
As for James and I we are in our 4th day of our Journey towards Cooperstown, N.Y. Saying goodbye to our dear friends was so hard, but as I have said before, Abilene, for most people, is a merely a stop on the way to better things. So most of them will be leaving soon anyway!
As of 8:30 Eastern time(our new time zone)last night we landed in Anderson, Indiana. James' cousin, we'll call him Allen, lives there with his wife Kenny. (Their real names will not be used as to protect the innocent). Staying here allows us to catch up with them, and save money on hotels. We can't move in until Friday now, so we are going to take our time getting there. It's been great so far, the dogs have behaved, somewhat better than James' and his dad have...just kidding... and we haven't had any problems thus far. We did run into some really bad construction yesterday for about an hour, but other than that it's been really great. I'm not on my computer so i can't post any pics, but as soon as we get settled in I'll be able to show you what the town looks like. I'm getting more excited the closer we get, and also a little more scared about the winter. Right now, it's about 50 degrees and raining, and this is the middle May. It's only going to get worse! But i am a strong woman(some people would use other words), so I can totally handle whatever comes my way. No really, it's beautiful up here and nothing like i've ever experienced, so I am ready for the challenge!
Thanks again, to all of you for your love, prayers, and help with our move! We couldn't have done it without you!
I need to take a shower...
drink some water...
and go talk to the family...
