I heart Erie.

Well, we made it! Other than the unfortunate "peach" smoothie (that really tasted like a mix between bread dough and throw up) and the rotten whodunit mystery stink in the airplane, our journey was a success. I'm not going to count the times that I was crying due to missing Miles because I'm sure this wil be a good experience for me.

The Keith's home is awesome, the hospitality is wonderful and the food is excellent. If we could find room for Miles- we might just have to shack up with them when we move in July. ...I'm kidding Julie.

We went to church today and met some fantastic people. We are amazed at how many connections we had with people from Utah.

We went house shopping today. Not good. There has to be something right? Something. Well, there were "somethings" out there, but some of them were moldy and disgusting. Honestly, there was one house that I thought dead bodies could've been stored in the crawl space. And there were some guns close by... you never know.

Anyway, we are trying to stay optimistic and open-minded. We'll see how that goes.

I miss Miles.

Hey, glad to hear that you made it safely. I was going to call you, but knew you would be busy. Sorry that we are missing each other, especially where we are only about 3 hours away! So close, but....yet so far away!

Hope to see you next week.

Cic,

Your son misses you too... we're just trying to use misdirection so he doesn't keep asking for you.

Also, what's the point of keeping an open mind about PA? Look where keeping an open mind got George Bush, Jr... he's the leader of the free world with a 30% approval rating? You can't get those kind of numbers in Skyline's "Cool Guy Contest."

Great miss optamistic your making me thrilled about our house hunting in June. Infact I am terrified that I will find horse shiz stored in a moat that surronds the only house we can afford. Gotta love living back east though!

Cicely-
I so glad you found our blog! Keep in touch and let us know the updates on house hunting. We are excited to have you move here. You will really love it once you find a house. I remeber it all to well. Many sleepless nights wondering if I was going to have to co habitate with mouse traps and mold, but there is something out there. Let us know if we can help in any way. When we came out here to look for a house, we left MAx and I cried the entire way out here. I feel for ya! Good Luck and keep in touch.
