Saga, part 2

So, we slept in until nearly 10am on Saturday a.m., and then had a lovely breakfast at the hotel restaurant. When we arrived at the fairgrounds, around 11:30, Jasmine was glad to see us and drank some more water before she jumped right in the trailer to continue on. I was worried she'd be difficult to load again after the problems the day before and the long trailer ride but she just seemed eager to get to going. Driving the Expedition with the horse trailer on it, was a little nerve wracking, as we were loaded quite heavy so it was a kind squirrely. Especially when getting passed by a semi or in areas of wind. We did hit rain & snow between Price & Grand Junction, but nothing too bad. Once we got thru GJ, and headed on the last stretch to the ranch, we hit really heavy fog the last 15 or so miles. But, made it thru fine & arrived at the ranch around 6pm. In our new house were 2 cute little "Welcome" baskets with nuts, juice, coke, tea & coffee - which was great, because while I could find our coffee pot, I could NOT find the coffee. Dinner that night was peanuts, chips, elk thuringer & cheese, juice & York Peppermint Patties. We did find that most of the light bulbs were either burned out, or have wiring issues and the sink faucet leaked terribly. But, nothing that couldn't be dealt with. And, there was a bed left in the bedroom that we were able to use so we didn't have to sleep on the floor - yay! We spent Sunday unloading and getting slightly settled. By that night, we had our own mattresses and bedding and food & some dishes unloaded. We watched some shows via the laptop, on the tv and then Bendigo and Niki arrived late that night. Monday, more unpacking & getting setup with great help from Ben & Niki. Some pictures hung & furniture arranged & books unpacked. We are finally feeling a little more settled! And, Josie & Sage are finally feeling at home too & settling down. Tomorrow (Tuesday) is our 1st day of work here at our new adventure. Not really sure what I'll be doing yet, so can't get too nervous about it... LOL Thanks to everyone for their prayers & thoughts. We'll keep you posted on the new jobs & how things go. Love to all!
