One Left!

We only have one more rotation left!!!!  Can you believe that we have made it this far!  I know for the rest of the world it has gone pretty fast but for those of us who have had to endure fifty million moves and the uncertainty of where we are going to be in six months, it has been a long, never ending road.  I just have to think about how little my kids were when we started this journey to remember how long it has been.  But we are almost there! 
On our route up to Lewiston we went through Lolo pass.  It was so beautiful!  I had to keep reminding myself that we were still in Idaho.  By far some of the most amazing scenery we have seen throughout our travels across the nation.  Mark even let us stop and get out of the car once!  We even got to take a picture! 
So we got to our new place.  How about the ONLY place that would rent to us for three months.  Lets just say it was pretty gross and had to be completely cleaned.  We are talking about a lot of air fresheners and a Rug Dr and several hours later.  But it is now a lot more comfortable and sanitized.  I still won't walk without my shoes on but the rest of the family doesn't seem to mind.  I thought I would share some of the pictures of the luxury we are living in.  The best part is knowing that in a little while we will be laughing at how we survived.
Here is the master bedroom.  I would love to say that this air mattress is the best that money could buy but that would be a lie.  There was one at Bed Bath and Beyond for $300!! I didn't know air mattress could get so expensive!  Needless to say we bought the $80 one from Sportmans.  I love the fact that I am 31 weeks prego and sleeping on an air mattress but I must say this thing isn't too bad.  I have slept on worse beds for sure!

Here is the kids bed!  Notice the "dressers" on the sides.  Those would actually be their boxes of clothes.
This is the formal dining room.  Thankfully my mom let us borrow a lot when we came up here.  But unfortunately one of the folding chairs has already broke (sorry mom) and I'm not quite sure if the table is going to last! 

The camping chair is also going to be my nursing chair.  Don't worry I have only had one major mental breakdown since we have been here.  But that could be due to all the extra hormones in my body.

Here is Mark's newest acquisition.  This is his study desk that he found at a local thrift store.  He cracks me up.

So far Mark has really liked the work up here and has been trying to convince me that we need to stay up here because it is so laid back at the hospital.  I just thank my lucky stars that he has already accepted a position in Flagstaff because there is no way I could live in a town without a Target or an Olive Garden! 
Two more moves left.  We are going to make it.
