I think this must be a OR/WA thing, George and I say it all the time. We get up in the morning and look out the window and say, 'The mountain is out today'.

So, I've been posting more on Facebook and neglecting my blog. Sorry Blog readers!
We moved to White Salmon on Saturday the 9th. The moving van was huge. I was suprised at how much room our stuff took up! And that was after purging and condensing boxes. We had a lot of help loading and unloading everything, it was still crazy and stressful, but overall not too bad.
I spent the first few days focused on the kitchen and getting all our new dishes and things clean.
We've also been enjoying the view....
We can see Mt Hood almost every morning. Although you can't see it in this picture, if it was clear it would be visible through the far left window.
Like this!
I found a stable for my horse! It's super nice and he gets his own 'shed' so he never has to be closed up in a barn/stall. You can kind of see how big his paddock is, and he will be turned out in a big pasture everyday unless the weather is horrible. I'm so excited and relieved we were able to find such a nice place at a price we can handle! I'm hoping we can move him next weekend.

Our office is still a mess, but the computers are functional!

To the East Side
Movin on up!
I am so so so incredibly happy to let you all know that George accepted a job today!
American Aerospace Engineering, in White Salmon, WA. Which in is the Columbia Gorge across from Hood River, OR.
We have been through some really frustrating ups and downs in the job search the last few months. This position was referred by a friend and it all happened very quickly! George got a call from a friend on Saturday that the position was open, he sent his resume in within an hour of the call and got a reply right back setting up an interview for Monday. The interview went really well, and he got an offer this morning! He signed, accepted and returned the paperwork within a few hours. He starts on Oct 11th!
We are searching for rental houses right now since we need to move so quick and there aren't any apartments in the area, well, unless you go to Hood River and we really don't want to pay the income tax!
Over the last few weeks we have been going through our things in storage. Purging, reboxing, and organizing so moving would be easier. It was a lot of work but we are so glad we took the time to do it then so we don't have to now.
We are going up to look one place on Friday (maybe more if I can find any), and hopefully moving by next week!
There are still A LOT of details to work out, but I'll update when I know more.

Random September Photos
Grandma helping her put on and walk around in Mommy's shoes
Eating a pear that she picked out of the box we had on the kitchen floor. She wouldn't even let go while I washed it off! She ate it down to the seeds!
Enjoying the spring horse that Grandpa and Grandma got them
A favorite treat, being pulled around on a blanket by Uncle Galen
This is what happens when she skips her afternoon nap, asleep at dinner!
