A Quick Update

I don't have much spare time on my hands but since I promised you an update when we returned, here's the abbreviated version.

Our last week-and-a-half has proven to be busy, productive, and even a little emotional. We spent our Easter weekend loading up Dan's necessities and traveling to Phoenix. On our way, we were fortunate enough to have time to take in the Hoover Dam. It was an amazing area. Photos really don't do it justice but here's a few for you anyways.

We arrived at Dan's apartment on the afternoon of Easter and enjoyed a relaxing dinner out before hitting the real estate market. We spent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday house hunting. It was absolutely overwhelming how many houses we saw. (Never mind the condition of most of the houses!) Thursday proved to be our big day - the day that we made an offer on a house and had it accepted. If all goes according to plan, we will be able to move in at the end of May. It truly was a relief to have found something before the week was up!

The kids and I flew back to Reno this past Saturday. Needless to say, NONE of us wanted to leave Dan behind but Caitlin took the first few days without Dad around pretty tough. Now that school is back in session and they are keeping busy with their respective activities, she is more distracted and therefore handling it a little bit better. Cameron, well ... nothing ever stops him! :-) Here's Caitlin's latest school project. A cow puppet for her school play later this month.
