Jeff and Kallie

Wow.  We have been in Idaho for 2 weeks now.  In some ways it seems like we just got here yesterday...in others way it seems like we've been here for MUCH longer.

Last night was our first night sleeping in the trailer as a family, and it was perfect!  Jeff and I obviously have a bed to sleep on.  We brought our mattress from our 'bricks n sticks' house and it is just as comfortable here.  Plus even cooler since we're in a camper. :)


We made Jackson a little "room" in the living room where he can have all the dark he needs in order to sleep well.  Right now his bed is back in my mom's house, so he can nap and Jeff can work on the roof during the day.  But this is a picture of where his bed goes...the blanket is what makes his room (eventually I will make a curtain), and the white noise from the fan right by his head is what allows us to move around and even watch movies in the living room while he's sleeping away.  The best part??  He slept in for an extra 2 hours this morning!  I think it's the dark that helped him sleep longer...whatever it was I LOVED it! :)

Until now, we have been sleeping in my mom's house while the trailer underwent a major overhaul.  We have painted the entire thing and Jeff installed new carpet.  There was nothing really wrong with it before, but we wanted it to be more like home, and had extra paint and carpet from remodeling our home in Utah, so why not?

Paint and carpet sound like such easy things on paper...even after going through the craziness and never-ending-ness of it, I feel kind of sheepish saying that it took us nearly 2 weeks to get just that done.  It sure feels like it drags on forever when everything is out of its place (because there is no place for anything) and chaos reigns.  Somewhere in that chaos we tried to sleep out our beds.  Jeff and Jackson made it, but I got all restless and had to go inside and sleep on the couch.  It's the chaos I swear.  I don't know how to relax when things are so out of order.  I think I'm okay with that (as long as there's an alternative place to sleep!) :)


Anyway, things are moving right along.  We still need to finish painting the cabinet doors, and I need to paint the kitchen counter and the walls in the kitchen, then we have to get flooring for the kitchen and bathroom.  Jeff is working finishing the roof and hopes to be done by this evening.  He is in "town" (which is only 15 minutes away, but it seems like it's a million miles away after living 3 minutes from everything in Utah) he is picking up the new rubber and wood for the roof.  If he doesn't get it done today, then he'll have to cover the whole thing with tarps again, since we're expecting rain AGAIN tomorrow, and I don't think he's very excited about the idea of putting all those tarps and bungies on again. :)
