Moving on...

It's been awhile since I last posted because we've been hopping between two households in two states... We were originally supposed to move into our house in Utah in May (which we did)


then stay in Idaho 'til the girls got out of school on June 7th(which we didn't). Due to construction delays in finishing our basement, it was necessary for someone to stay here in the house to supervise the workers. Since Kevin had to work (imagine having to actually earn the money to pay for this house..hahaha), the girls and I were elected. So, after moving our stuff in; the girls and I made a fast trip back to Boise to withdraw them from school - thankfully only two weeks early. Then we came back here so Kevin could go back up and finish his training in Boise. Kev stayed the last two weeks at the apartment provided by his company while the girls and I stayed here and tried to get unpacked.

This past Wednesday, I drove up to Idaho to pick up Kevin and supervise the movers packing the last of our stuff from the apartment. The girls stayed with my brother, and his wife, here at the house. The next day, Kev and I drove back down here. We are now all FINALLY in the same state AND the same house. YIPPEE!!!

Something about this move has been hard on our pets, however. We lost Gracie just before we moved. A week after we moved, our kitty, Rover, passed away from a blood clot.



Rover LOVED Kevin, but pretty much considered all of us "his" humans. He was a fun kitty who played hide-n-seek, tag, and fetch - which is why we named him Rover.



Rover also LOVED do-nuts- yes, I said do-nuts. He loved the smell of tuna, but wouldn't eat it. He had been known to sneak into a box of do-nuts and eat around the outer edge of his favorites. We had to be very creative in how we stored any do-nuts since Rover was very creative in sneaking into the do-nut boxes.

We had Rover for 8 wonderful years, and he, too traveled with us to France. We all loved him and will miss him terribly. His loss hit all of us hard because it was so unexpected.



At least we know Gracie will be in good company and Rover will have a friend in pet-heaven...
