Wyoming Plague?

So, most of us are sick–again.  Four weeks after the last time.  This seems really strange, after we spent two years in Florida, and never got sick there.  Well, I think the kids had a mild cold once.  We never had a big family illness.  Now we’ve gotten hit hard twice in the first month [...]

Breaking the Silence

Okay, so I’ve had a hard time picking up my blog again. A lot has happened since I last posted: we had our ninth anniversary, we completed our move to Wyoming, we took possession of our very own house, we unloaded all our belongings into said house, and then we all succumbed one [...]

Day Two – Making Up For Lost Time

Our second day of traveling was more or less uneventful.  We got up early after going to bed late, and headed out to see if we could make up for our lost time the day before.  We kept our stops pretty short, and just kept driving and driving, and in the end we reached our [...]

Blog lag

Well, I’ve got several posts written and ready to go up, but they have photos to go with them, and this motel we’re staying at tonight does not have very speedy high-speed, so I will have to put them up later when I have a better connection available.  I will pre-date them, though, so that [...]

On the Road – A Slow Start

We loaded up the truck yesterday.  J. had gotten a start the night before, loading on some book boxes and sorting the things in the garage to make the loading the next day go more smoothly, and then he did more in the morning before our help showed up.  About nine o’clock Matt C. and [...]

David’s Moving Truck

David created this the day the truck was delivered.

Ready to Load

The moving truck arrived today.

There’s a lot of room in there….

We estimated that we would use 16 linear feet.  We’ll see – here’s what we have to load into it:

Most of our furniture is still in the house, too.  I don’t think we’ll take double of our estimate, anyway.  The truck driver who dropped off [...]

Our Last Tridentine Mass in Florida

Today was our last time attending the Tridentine Mass here in Naples, Florida.  We have been attending this Mass for very nearly nine months now – in fact, almost exactly one week less than nine months, which equals the time that a baby spends in his mother’s womb before emerging to face the world.  It [...]

One More Hurdle Jumped

J. has returned safely from Ohio, leaving one more hurdle behind us. We are down to the last week now before we move, so each day is a last – the last Saturday here, the last Sunday here, etc. The next big thing to do at this point is load up the truck, [...]

Home Owners at Last

So, it’s official now. We own our own house.
We are also massively, unthinkably in debt now. As in thirty years worth of debt. That’s a sobering thought.
Now that we finally own the place, I’m really eager to get out there and take possession of it. Packing up and taking down all [...]
