Great news! Kassy (Amanda’s sister) et. al. have moved to Silver City to take care of Amanda’s grandmother. It was an exhausting trip, but totally worth it. Amanda flew to Bozeman, MT on Thursday, we cleaned the house and finished packing on Friday, drove all day Saturday, drove all day Sunday, then unpacked all day Monday. It is usually a 20-hour trip, but with a 26′ truck, an 8′ trailer, and a 5 year old, things were a bit slower. Kassy drove the UHaul like a champ, and almost died only once. (Not really almost died, but she did almost wreck the Uhaul in horrible road construction when the trailer was fish tailing like crazy, which, by extension, could have killed her.) Otherwise, mostly uneventful, and glad to be home. Since we got back to New Mexico, Amanda’s grandmother has been in the hospital. She should be released in the next couple of days, but in the meantime, Kassy, Nicole, and Tim will move in and make themselves at home, without supervision.
Pictures coming soon!
