The Long and Short of it...

Interesting 3 days...

Our last night in Billings (Thursday night) was extremely long as both boys had a stomach bug or reaction to bad milk at the hotel or food at a local restaurant...but thankfully the overnight manager was great about helping us out with the messes. Kelly has also been fighting off a similar bug the last 24 hours.

We did get on the road a little late Friday morning, but after a short nap stop at the Kaycee, WY rest area we made it into Cheyenne in the early evening. Along the way, our Billings realtor was in contact with us for negotiations with our proposed buyer. They want us to put a new roof on the place, even after already coming down $4900 on the price of the house. Should be interesting to see how they react to our reply. More to come on this, we are sure.
We're at the LaQuinta on W. Lincolnway in Cheyenne in case anyone is passing through sometime in the next several days.

Our inspection for our new home in Cheyenne went fairly well Friday, with a gas leak at the gas water heater the main concern. The photos in the report make it look like something that the seller can get fixed pretty easily, so we are hopeful of that. We will meet with our realtor this afternoon (Saturday) to go over the report in detail and hopefully there is not anything else critical that will impede that end of our move.
The boys and I are off to Lowe's this morning for our first kids project here in Cheyenne.
Here are some pictures from the past few days...

Kelly, Nolan and Barrett surprised me by showing up for pizza and cake on my last day of work (Thursday) with the rest of the staff. This was the cake that Vickie ordered for the occasion.
