Update from South Dakota

So, we are alive and well and just got cable and internet hooked up. A great day. We arrived in Rapid City last Monday afternoon. We were given a hotel room off base that we could stay in until Wednesday. I would not advise moving to Rapid the weekend of the 4th. All of America is here to see fireworks at Mt. Rushmore. Crazy! We spent Tuesday looking at base housing and rental properties out in town. After much debate we have decided to live in base housing that is off base. The negative is that the contract with the base is up next year so most people are moving out and we are the crazies moving in. There was just not a lot to choose from so we decided this was the best for us.
I like the house. It is 4 bedrooms and there is an open space downstairs that we will use as Hannah's playroom. It also has an unfinished basement for storage. I think it will meet our needs just fine.
As soon as we got an address we called about having our furniture delivered. It will not be arriving until July 16th. We have been living in an empty house. Thank you to Patri and John for feeding us, giving us a bed and letting us wash clothes. Otherwise, we would be in a world of hurt.
After the furniture arrives next week I will try to post some pictures!
