patience is a virtue

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!
