Oh Ya, Did I Mention We Moved to Idaho??

On December 17th we loaded a moving truck with everything we owned and moved to Idaho! Yes, I know, it's potato country out here.  Ricky's parents and sister live here and since I can work from home and Rick's schooling can be done online, we could go anywhere and we decided it would be nice to be close to them.  Also, the cost of living being much cheaper here, was also a factor.  I've never lived in the snow before but we seem to be managing.  Of course everyone is saying this has been the worst winter in a long time because it is so cold and the snow just keeps falling.  Luckily, this week it has been a little nicer....high 30's and no snow.  I never thought the day would come when I would say that high 30's is a nice temperature.   We have just learned to bundle up!  Lincoln is adapting well.  He still hates having socks, hats and mittens on but once we get outside and he feels how cold it is, he is less inclined now to pull them off.  So far we like the town. We already know that we like the spring, summer and fall so hopefully we will make it through the next couple of months of winter and we should be good!

We wanted to leave on Wednesday but we got snowed in.  The El Cajon pass had a ton of snow dumped on it and it was closed most of the day.  We had to stay in a hotel locally until the pass was clear the following morning.  

We ended up hitting snow about 45 minutes from our house which was very unusual - but as far as things going right with the move, it was about par for the course. 

Lincoln would rather drive the moving truck than sit in his car seat for the 20 hour drive. 

We pulled over for dinner and let Lincoln touch the snow.  He just laughed. He thought it was funny because it was so cold.
