We get the house on Monday...Feb. 13. The renter is a friend of A & B and while he has moved to his new place in anticipation of his getting married, he still had stuff in the garage and hadn't cleaned the house yet....so we were not able to move right in. So we made two trips today unloading the MH at Amy's. They took off until Sunday night so we are here with the pets. Rose is doing fine.
Got water, garbage, electric, cable and insurance lined up today. We are going to start out without phone and rely on cell phones...so call away. When we get here in May we may get a land line, but for now...nope. That pretty well decides that we will get high speed cable internet and not DSL.
USAA is so great. I explained our situation and they are giving us a renter insurance deal until we buy the place...when the condo sells. Got things covered for the move as well.
Gas here is $2.049...lowest of any we have seen since Texas which was 2.129. What is going on? They even pump it for you here and clean your windshield if you want. I LOVE not paying sales tax. That is so cool...for now.
The MH goes into storage tomorrow morning...if we ever get it all unloaded. It has been our home for almost two months and we sort of miss it. Rose really misses it. The pets here make her nervous, but she is adapting. It is soooo much easier having a fenced yard (Meridan has one too.)
You could see Mt. Hood while driving north-east on US 99W when we drove from the MH to Newberg this morning....looks like a shimmering ghost....some 80 miles away. We saw Mt. Adams due east of us when we made a second trip this afternoon. The insurance has an earthquake exclusion...instead of a deductable, it simply only pays 85% of the covered value. We must be in quake territory; but we knew that. No tornadoes, huricanes, thunder storms or snow storms, however.
We are making lists of things to do and places to investigate over time. We are going to the coast Saturday and stopping at the casino along the way for cut rate dinner that we saw advertised.
Internet at the Connelly's is great...we are here and on line. Now I can do our taxes.

Glad you made it safely! All sounds VERY exciting! It is 18 degrees here this morning, gas is 2.39 a gallon and it is snowing and will for the next week...
Welcome to Newberg. Thanks for the stories on the way. Don't know when we'll be there next but probably sometime summer. When you get settled in, check out my son & in laws at Trinity Presbyterian (OPC) over on Columbia & North College. Bob S
