Finished with a phase

Wow. So much has happened since I posted last its hard to know where to begin, But I'll try nonetheless. Well, Rebecca and I started moving slowly, a truck load at a time as we had to return to Riverside for paperwork etc. This week we ramped things up because we have to be out of the apartment by the 1st. We rented a Moving Van loaded all the furniture and a bunch of boxes on thursday. Then yesterday we finished the move with John's Pickup truck. Its nice to be free of that place. Although my footing still doesn't feel solid yet, I am more happy here than I have been in months past.

In the middle of all that we had a week long vacation with my adoptive family in the beautiful Yosemite Valley. Every year the vacation is different and interesting, Over the years i've learned to keep myself apart from the majority of the drama. This year Williams wayward sister, Julie, flew in from Massachusetts with her 3 kids, accompanied by her faithful pet/friend and her son. Now, I don't normally like to verbally bash people but I will say that most of the camp was sick of listening to Julie yell at her children. Aside from some campground yelling, it was a nice trip. Rebecca and I babysat the very cute 8-year-old Spencer on a 6-7 mile hike up the Mist trail to Nevada Falls. I was dead tired that night, and my calves hurt for about 3 days afterward, but it was nice to know that I'm not completely out of shape. (on that note we start our gym membership on the 1st and I'm excited.) I made sure Becky got to see as many waterfalls as she wanted, i think that made her happy. Both of us were quite happy with the vacation and are now contemplating monthly hiking trips and various REI purchases.

Today we start the long process of unpacking all the boxes, washing all the laundry, and finding places for our belongings that once filled a whole apartment. We also need to look into finding a real bed, my back isn't happy with the futon today...
