Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania

Finally! Mission accomplished. We got here yesterday afternoon....a little earlier than we expected. I felt a little fried, but we were happy and healthy and all in one piece. Glad to be done!
We are staying in an apartment at the National Christian Conference Center campus (the same place where the church is located...and Rand's new office). We will be here temporarily until we find/decide where we are going to dwell more permanently. It's a great option because the commute for Rand is only a 2 min. walk...and it is fully furnished...including the kitchen, so we didn't have to unpack anything except the essentials.
The weather is awesome! And the scenery is beautiful.
We unpacked and got rid of the Uhaul(s) today. Unfortunately, our uneventful trip got a little eventful today. I thought we had survived...but we didn't. No big deal really, but another moving truck tried to take the front-passenger side door off of my parked car today. It will definitely have to be replaced. We can sort of get it closed, so it is drivable. Joanna was with the kiddos at my car and the passenger side door was open. There was plenty of room for a bunch of cars that were coming by, but the moving truck driver at the end of the line was busy trying to avoid the pole on the passenger side of his truck and drove right into the door of my car. We exchanged info. and I'm sure it will get taken care of, but a big bummer. I'm just happy that no one got injured in the process. Just a silly door.
So we're here. We made it. We are super tired and I think I'm a little overstimulated. I'm ready for some down time!
Here's some pictures from the last leg of our journey (by far the most beautiful part) and from today. If you ever have a chance to drive through Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, you should do it. It was so pretty!

What a bummer about the door, glad everyone is ok. So where is the nearest fishing hole?
