And their crazy life continues...
So, I know that the Dastrups probably won't even check the blog for at least a week, so they won't be blogging any of their happenings.
Yesterday, they needed to go to get Utah Drivers licenses so that they could get onto Bear River Insurance for their house and cars, which will save them a lot of money. And Christa went to Maceys and spent $200.00 on groceries and came home and put it away and it still looks like the fridge and cupboards are only half stocked. They spent quite a bit on stuff for the yard too, but the yard needs a LOT of help. The previous owners hadn't even turned on the sprinkling system...so Kim tried to do that yesterday. Got the front system operational, but the valve box in the back was full of catastrophe. Turns out that the drain and been put in on the high side of all the pipes, so it didn't drain at all and so it was full of broken lines. So Kim and Brigham made several trips for supplies, spent many hours working on it, thought that they had it all ready to go, only to discover that there was yet ANOTHER pipe with a leak! So Kim is going up as I type to try to get it operational.
The Dastrups have gone to Bear Lake for their extended family reunion. It was hard for Christa to leave, because although their family reunion is a good one, the only room that is somewhat funtional is the kitchen. Everything else is still in boxes for the most part. They will stay till Tues at which time they return, Brigham returns to New Mexico and CK comes back with her boys to a lot of work to do, and Brigham not able to help.
Jacob found a box yesterday that had Lightening McQueen on it, and took it to Kim and pointed to in and then did the sign for "show", several times. But that was not an option. No TV found or set up yet. It's been hard on the youngest 2 who don't understand what is going on. They REALLY don't like going to bed in yet another new place! Poor little Ty was sobbing in his bed for over an hour last night. Kills me to hear my little ones cry like that, even if they do have to adjust to the reality that this is NOT where they are used to going to bed, nor do they understand why their lives and sense of a secure situation has been shattered. But they will get over it soon, I hope!
