Well, we have 1 of 3 shipments received! - which is more than most of our friends at this point. We are very very happy to be sleeping on a real bed instead of an airmattress. We had our first real meal on our dinning room table - fajitas, yum! The place is still a mess... lots of stuff strewn about, with no real place determined yet, pictured piled nicely against the wall, awaiting placement, boxes of clothing without a home yet... Slowly but surely things are coming together though, I found the kitchen counter today, so that was nice.

Also today, Dave and I drove out to Sequoia National Park - where we met General Sherman - the largest living tree in the whole world. There were feet of snow on the ground as we passed 6,000ft in elevation, and it began to rain just as we left the park gate. It was a good trip, and we are really really looking forward to exploring more there and camping with the Boo-san.
