We're Here!

We made it to Cheyenne!  
On Sunday we drove 11.5 hours and got to Cheyenne around 3:30 PM.  Normally the drive would take between 9 and 10 hours but when the 26ft Penske truck wouldn't go over 70 mph on the highway, it took a lot longer.  Thanks to the amazing invention of a portable DVD player, Mady was quite content watching cartoons and Sesame Street.
When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised that a local church we visited provided 10 or so guys to help us unpack.  We had contacted the church earlier this summer to see if they could help us by sending 2-3 guys to move the big furniture since we would only have my parents and Jeremy's parents here to help. Instead they sent 10 guys and provided us with dinner too!  It was such a blessing!
Our truck was unpacked and in our house in less than 2 hours.  We spent the rest of the evening making beds and getting a few necessary things unpacked.  
Our house is beginning to slowly look like home.  Mady's room is pretty much done except for not having anything on the walls.  The basement is another story.  This is where we have all the "i-don't-know-what-to-do-with-this-or-where-to-put-it" junk and so it still needs some help.  
In the next day or so I'll post some "in progress" house pictures but until then I'll show a few of the pictures before we moved in.
