We Made It!

Well, me made it here to Moscow, ID. Actually, we came Friday, but as you can guess, it's been a little crazy since then. So far we really like it. VERY different than San Diego, but we expected that. It's a really small town, but it's kind of fun. We like our new place too. It's a two bedroom!! The first time since Jessica was born! I'll post pictures as soon as we get a real internet connection, as opposed to this "stolen" wireless.

As I mentioned before, we sold most of our big things back in LA, so we've been on constant lookout for furniture. We're close to being ready. We have an inflatable mattress for us (which is actually really comfortable). We'll hang onto that for a while - until we find a really good deal on a real mattress. Jessica is in her pack-n-play and totally content. We bought a card table and chairs for the dining room. Luckily there's a Good Will close by, so Michael got a TV stand there. And here comes the funny part - we got a TV. No, not just any TV. We got a "half of our furnishing budget" TV. Michael is beyond excited for football season to start, so we had a compromise a while back - if we got into Idaho and saved the money there, we could get a nice TV and maybe Direct TV (and thus BYU football). Let's see if I can get this picture of the TV to post.
Wow - it worked. Cool. Anyways, Michael is loving it. The only problem is that we just have rabbit ears right now, so we don't get a whole lot of channels, not even NBC. So it's been kind of annoying to miss track on the Olympics, but we're surviving. :) We feel pretty dumb having a nice TV and no couch, but it's in the plans still.

Michael is off to orientation today. He figures he'll skip out on most of it. He doesn't feel like he really needs to go to a class on "what to expect from law school" or "law school study habits." He's kind of experienced there. But he'll get his ID card and all that.

Like I said, we'll post more pictures of our place later (once it looks a little more complete).

What is it with these Hales men and their TV's?? Oh wait -- I know. BYU football. "The better to see it with." (Does this translate to "shoe money"?)
