As most of you know... we moved to Cheney, WA. It’s a good 1 hour 50 min from good old Kennewick. That’s going 70-75mph and not stopping. It’s a quaint little town, where everyone knows everyone and good news is hard to find (least for us)!
These are the pictures I took Saturday after moving. That was a great day... Let me re-cap it for you.
Friday night I loaded my breakables (pictures frames) into the Suzuki and drove it over and parked it at my parents house. Since Dave would be driving the Uhaul and I would be driving the Van, it had to be left behind. We knew we would be back in town Tuesday to turn in our keys, do some cleaning, and so we would grab it than.
Saturday 6 am I got up and got dressed and got ready for the day... the dreaded but exciting moving day. We picked up the Uhaul at 7:30, I dropped the girls off at my moms right after that, and than grabbed cookies, doughnuts, and water for our movers. I headed back to the apartment as Dave was finishing taking the beds apart. I finished up some last minute things, and the men showed up at 9. An hour later, they were done, and the house was empty... We spent a half hour or so grabbing the food from the fridge and than grabbing some other last minute things.
I went and picked up the girls and we were on the road headed to Cheney. It was a fun cat and mouse game I played. I would speed up to 70 and than when I couldn’t see Dave anymore because he got stuck behind a semi or something I would slow down and he would catch up with me. Daphne slept and Sami watched Beauty and the Beast, and I drove and thought about my day... Daphne woke up before we stopped in Ritzville to gas up and eat some chicken nuggets at McD’s. Than we were back on the road. We drove 20 miles or so, took the Tyler/Cheney exit and drove the last 10 miles into Cheney to our house. We stopped got out and than I jumped back in the van and headed to the Real Estate Agency to grab the key and pay our rent. When I got back we went in and I showed it to Dave for the first time.
EQ movers from our new Cheney 2nd Ward showed up, which included our new friend brother Ayling, the bishop and his 3 sons, the EQ president and several others that I missed because I took the girls and escaped to the store. About 45 min later we returned and as I was pulling up I saw this...
I was very disappointed. But in reality there really isn’t room for it... (and I hate it, and it’s about 10 years old) we will be getting another love seat down the road for more seating but for now we have our new couch and so we are happy. I am going to sell the couch and the brand new Sure Fit cover for about $125 bucks.... least get what I paid for the cover out of it... and put that money towards something else to sit on.
It will take me some time especially with my little helpers to get this place in order but for now, we do what we can and try not to go crazy. Now I just gotta find a recycle place to take my cardboard boxes too.
Wish Me Luck in making this place a home for the time Dave attends EWU!
