Across the Threshold

On Wednesday, August 1, we drove directly from Wisconsin to Fort Wayne and to the bank to get our down payment check and then to the closing on our new house here in Fort Wayne. From there, we immediately headed for Arlington Park so that everyone could see it in person for the first time. Someone had suggested that Jordan needed to carry Jeannette over the threshold. I'm not sure I quite get that but nonetheless . . .



Jameson was pretty excited about seeing the house and he called Colby Mueller in Klamath Falls to tell him about it. He didn't even want to leave the house in order to go get dinner.
The three boys spent the night sleeping on the floor in the master bedroom while the rest of us hit the Marriott Courtyard for a short night's rest before the moving truck arrived on Thursday morning.

Unloading the truck went fairly smoothly and we haven't found too many broken items. Jeannette has the house about two-thirds set up. Some things are still in boxes in the garage while there are other parts of the house that we simply don't have furnishings for yet. We're enjoying the neighborhood (and by "we" I primarily mean everyone else), walking the paths, playing in the swimming pool, having dinner with some neighbors and playing pool at the clubhouse.
