After a long day of driving on the 9th, we arrived while there was still daylight, which was good since we had no lamps. The house only has a few overhead lights, but I found some vintage lights on the sun porch and plugged them in on the mantle. This proved to be exciting, as I blew a fuse and caused a nice spark show. Burning down the house would be bad. Then, we had a hail storm. Such a welcoming state.
The movers arrived bright and early on the 10th. They wisely added another man to the team. It was over 100 degrees, and we have no A/C, so those guys were troopers. They finished around 6:00 PM, and we were left with the daunting task of unpacking.

| Emily's room came with a complete bed, a desk, a bookcase, some spiffy shades, and Hedwig. Michael, the previous owner, was moving to a much smaller house, so he left most of the furniture in his younger son's room for Emily. They had discussed this over breakfast one morning in April. |

| Sadly, we scared the birds away that had worked so hard building this nest. |
 |
| Here comes the truck! |
 |
| Wallace greets us with a huge smile! The guys all live in the area, so it was great fun talking to them about our new city. |
 |
| The first thing off the truck, chairs for the girls. Thankfully, Greg had a TV up here already, so we had that to occupy Daniel (and the girls) while the movers unloaded. |
