We have now spent our first week in Ridgecrest, and what a fun time it has been. We spent the first few days indoor camping while we waited for our things to show up. We went to our new church ward and were very well welcomed there. Monday night we had dinner with a couple from the ward; afterward, the Relief Society president visited us at home. Tuesday, the truck with our things finally came. The bishopric also visited us, which was fun.
On Wednesday, Marilyn drove my car down and Steve followed Thursday. They were able to help out quite a bit as we worked on the big task of setting up our home. We also signed the paperwork for the house on Wednesday. Things should be official today, but we'll have to wait and see.
