Our Move

March 4, 2008

As most of you already know, we moved from Fairbanks to Delta Junction the weekend after Valentine’s Day. I’m still unpacking.

We got 90% of our errands run on Feb 15th (also my 29th birthday), then tried to do some last minute packing. We took one load out to the house in Delta, then went back to our old house for the night. Saturday, after some hassle, John finally got the U-Haul. He loaded it once and drove that out to the new house while I packed, and it was all in all a long day. Sunday, we loaded up the last of our stuff and drove it out.

At the new house — a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath log house (with a walk-in closet that I love) — John unloaded the last of our stuff and I set to unpacking. He drove back to Fairbanks to clean the old apartment. After an hour or so, I noticed it was rapidly cooling off. A couple of frantic calls later, and many layers of clothing later, the fuel guy put heating fuel in our tank and we had heat again. It’s good to have heat.

We’re still getting everything in its place, and still amassing a list of things that we need to get to make the place as comfortable and thermally sound as we can. All in all, things are turning out very nicely, and I love our new home.

I was a bit of a brat when I emailed everyone a picture of an ice fishing house and said it was our new place. No, we aren’t living on a frozen lake. No, the ice fishing house isn’t really part of our property. No, really. Our new place is actually quite nice, and we love all the space it offers us. At least I cracked myself up with the picture prank I pulled. I think I’m funny. That’s all that counts, right?

We do actually have a great “Home Sweet Home.”
