California Here We Come...And Go.

California here we come! California here we go!
Mike and I have spent the last three days in San Jose, CA with his family. We had a wonderful time visiting with his parents, Grandma and Nana.
Our three beautiful kitties have had the privilege of staying at Mike's parents. AC had been so good. He has not cried more than four or five hours.
On Friday, Mike and I spent the day preparing the car for the last half of our trip. We had the oil changed, new tires put on and the car washed. We should be in good shape for the drive through Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Yukon Territory and into Alaska.
We hope to be in Fairbanks by Monday, May 4th. We have had a major snag in the purchase of our home. The inspection report came back with some massive issues. In a nutshell, it needs a new roof, new windows and a new boiler. So, we are most likely going to pull out of the deal.
Today, we found a short-term (month to month) rental. We will stay there until we can find another house. I hope it is before I start my new job on June 15th.
I will keep you posted on our travels. I pray that everything is well with you. I look forward to talking to you very soon!
God bless!!!
Mike and Kristie

  1. Looks like your trip has been quite an adventure so far! I hope AC is getting used to car-life and not wailing so much for you guys... Once you get to AK you'll probably want to walk EVERYWHERE after being in the car so much.

    We pray for wisdom for you as you deal with the house stuff; we're glad you've at least been able to secure a rental so you and the kitties will have a place to lay your heads when you get up there. Drive safely, and thanks for the blog updates.

    We love you guys!!!

  2. Sorry to hear about the truly major house issues. I'm very surem, however, that God has a better plan.

    Stay warm!
