Up and soon to be running

Lots has been going on around here. First we put our house on the market! We are working with the agent that helped us buy the house. We have had lots of people walk through but unfortunately no offers yet. Fingers crossed.
Second - I quite my job to be a full time stay at home mom in anticipation of our move. The first week was touch and go but I'm getting the hang of it. Here is the progress in video form. E-mail me for the password.

Third - we found a rental in Driggs. It is on Ski Hill Road on 2.5 acres with a great view of the tetons. We are hoping to move the Friday after thanksgiving.
