For those who are wondering what’s up, here’s the last week and a half in a nutshell.

The move got pulled off. I admit that I really had doubts, but I was out of Madison by noon on Tuesday. The U-Haul place ended up giving us a bigger truck than we’d reserved so we had PLENTY of space for our stuff. Other than my boys using their carriers as litterboxes, Jon running out of gas in rural Montana, and me getting pulled over by the Montana State Patrol, it wasn’t too bad. (I accidentally cut someone off when they sped up to keep me from passing them and I had the choice of cutting them off or running head-on into a semi. The officers sided with me on that one and I just got a verbal warning.)

The churches are good, the parsonage is awesome, and the area is incredibly beautiful. We got Internet hooked up on Monday and we’ve been trying to get stuff done ever since. I picked up an application from Shelby Public Schools to substitute teach (they claim that they’re not hiring but everyone else I talk to is telling me otherwise). I still have unpacking to do: dishes mostly but also boxes of other stuff. I hate unpacking and I need Jon’s help with much of what’s left, so hopefully he’ll be around tomorrow to help me lug the big stuff upstairs and help me stow the smaller stuff.
