We have arrived in Oregon!

Here is Ella with her Aunt Katie on moving day. She liked the truck!


We packed up on Wednesday morning and here we are after it was all done. It was a nice 112 that day I think. So Hot!!!


Ater we were done packing, we hit the road. We made it all the way to Bakersfield that night. Got 5 hours of sleep in a hotel and continued to Sacramento to stay with my sister Nikki. Ella was such a trooper! I was pretty happy with how well she did. It was also nice to drive through LA at night as this thing is a beast. With our car and everything it is 45 feet long! In California the roads were so bumpy we started singing oprah....it was so funny! Then, one morning after breakfast I got in the truck to drive and there were these workers on the side of the road and they all were laughing at me. They didn't think I could drive it! Ha!


It was a pretty good trip but we were happy to make it to Central Point! We pulled in on friday afternoon with missionaries and the Elder's Quorum there to help us unpack. Here is our house! It was built in the 1800's and has some character.



Here is the entry way. Please note the beautiful tile that Steve put in. It turned out awesome!


Living Room


Dining Room


Kitchen...I painted the cupboards blue. I really like how they turned out. Before they were white with just a little yellow. They were hideous. You can't see it but there is also a huge pantry to the left. So much room....gonna have to start my food storage.



Study. It is a work in progress. We are trying to find a desk and some other things. But the shelves are so nice. If only we had enough books to fill them.



After we were here for a few days we were at Lowe's and when we came out there was a huge hail storm! Ella loved it. It was crazy!




There is our moving story! More to come....

Your house has so much charm! It's adorable. And there's so much green...bastard. j/k! Your cabinets turned out great, I love them! I'm working on getting you pics. I just told Alisa I was feeling guilty that I hadn't sent you any yet and then I decided this morning that I was gonna try to figure it out myself, so if u get some soon, I guess I was successful! If not, well...

So glad you made it safely! Wow, you're already unpacked and everything, very impressive. Great job on the tile floor and the cabinets! We miss you already but I'm sure you're not missing the hot weather.

Give my Ellanor a forehead kiss from her YiYah.

Your house is awesome! We want to live in an older house so bad! They are way better looking than the cookie cutter houses now days! That is exciting you get to live in Oregon!
