Baker: Day 2

Today we actually spent back on the road. We had to drive the moving van back to Fargo, North Dakota. 14 hours later, we're back in Baker, still on the hunt for somewhere to live. It's an adventure.... right?!?!? Spirits are still high, but patience is starting to wear thin. I think Stephan is doing much better than I am. Tomorrow is another chance to get out and about and meet people, and hopefully get one step closer to having a real house to live in.

Thanks to everyone who's emailed and called. It's nice to know we have a group of people cheering for us.

Baker: Day 1

After passing the boards, packing up everything, and driving 1300 miles, we arrived in Baker, Montana on Sunday night. Matt and Kayle fed us and gave us a bed for as long as we need it. The girls are with us, but the cats had to stay home for now.

Our stuff is in the garage here, waiting for a home. We have a few leads, but nothing solid yet. Tomorrow will be spent on the road again to return the moving van to Fargo, North Dakota. That's 400 miles away. Wednesday we have a few houses to look at, and possibly think about registering the car and getting new cell phones.

It's hard to realize that we live here. It still feels like visiting. Emails from home help us feel connected, and Matt and Kayle are amazing hosts. We are very comfortable and greatful to be here with friends.
