Move to Iowa

We didn't waste any time getting out of Kansas! We moved on June 30th.  Really though our moving schedule was dictated by the moving company and the 4th of July Holiday.  It was sad to leave our neighbors and our house.  I didn't cry until the neighbor came out to say goodbye and cried, thanks Deb :-)  We drove up and spent the night in our new house on an air mattress.  There were some weird surprises like, there were no keys for our house, the previous owners "had lost them years ago", the house was not as clean as I would have hoped, and the house still had all the old stinky rugs and the garage had 24 gallons of old paint left in it.  The cable company and the locksmith came out first thing July 1st to get things hooked up and to get door knobs ordered. Then the moving truck arrived.  Instead of pulling down our drive and possible hitting a tree branch they blocked the entire neighborhood and parked in the road.  Brent had to help by driving his truck up and down the drive with boxes and furniture and Brent and two other movers were able to get the truck unloaded in one day when they told us it would take two! I was really glad it got done in one day!  We have been busy unpacking and cleaning.  My parents came and helped do things around the house.  My mom and I also explored all the shops in town and were happily surprised at the neat shops we found!
