We got in just last night and so far so good!! Don't have a home yet, but I meet with someone tomorrow (she has classes all day today or we would do this today) and we already have a list of homes to go thru. I only hope I'm approved fast, the truck has to be turned in on Wednesday.
Speaking of truck, we didn't get out of WA on Friday morning because when I was backing the truck into my back yard the gate blew over and caught the passenger side view and shattered the passenger window. So I had to drive to Portland, OR for another truck. The good news is that was the only hiccup in the whole trip.
I was ready to drive through the snow (and I did end up pulling my car on a trailer, a personal first. I guess it really isn't too late to learn new things in life) and for a minute I thought I would. My daughter was my navigator and she took us through the Shasta mountains, which was beautiful but we were truly the only people on that road and at one point it started snowing and even sticking on the road but it never got bad enough to have to put chains on the tires and it only lasted for about a half an hour.
All in all, it was a smooth trip. We had fun, even tho we were a little cramped with 2 dogs and 3 people in the cab of the truck, and bucket seats, but we did alright. So the plan now is to find a home and get moved in. I'm not even looking any farther than that right now, however strong the temptation. I can only do this one step at a time. First step, get here. Second step, move into a home and get situated (change my address for insurance/get renters insurance, register my car & get a NV license, stuff like that). Next step, start looking for a job and get signed up for school. I think I will sit down with a career specialist and talk about my options before I make any real decisions as far as school is concerned.
But I'm not even worrying about that right now. I want to be in a home by the end of the week and that is my only goal in front of me right now.
