The appraisal came back too I have already made a dump run and several goodwill runs. Man this house was packed with crud everywhere! We leave for our big adventure on May 20th. And I will be able to give a day to day report while driving.consider it an armchair vacation LOL I got verizon internet anywhere service for my laptop- so cool! We found a house we really like in Boise and within the next week I think we are going to put the deposit down, and it will be built while we are gone and ready in August. I cant believe our crazy dream is going to actually happen-

Good times. I have several good (and a few bad) memories from that trip. Have a great trip. If you pass through Nampa on your way to Boise, wave to my sister.

Originally Posted By Disneymom443 Wow I'm so happy that this has come true for you. When your house is ready can we see pictures of it. On the packing up part it is funny how we never know how much we have in our house untill we try to move.

Originally Posted By debtee Congratulations, what great news! I can't wait to read all your trip reports, it will open up a bit of America for me! Your children will remember this trip forever! My sister took her three kids in a caravan around Australia for the whole of last year, they have all learnt so much about Aus and experienced great memories! Sometimes it got a bit cozy for them in one caravan but that's part of it isn't it! LOL Sending you very good luck on your journey!

Originally Posted By MomofPrincess How exciting (yet exhausting)! I'm happy for you! We went to Boise/Nampa/Meridian a year ago in November to check out the houses. We were seriously considering moving there. You do know about the inversion, right? ;-) The people were *amazingly* nice (nicest I've ever met ANYWHEWRE) and the city itself was awesome.
Originally Posted By TiggerPooh1973 Wow that sounds like a great trip! We drove cross country from Pennsylvania to California when I was 6 years old. We zigzagged our way through as many states as we could usually stopping at KOA Campgrounds. I think it was about a two month trip. Me and my brother loved camping and hated when the weather was bad and we had to get a motel room, lol. I don't envy you the packing and moving though....ughh. Good luck with the house!

I have set up various Dr's appts so they will be up to date on shots and Andrew needs his eyes checked. 30 days until we start our adventure and 87 days until Disneyland =)
