Steeper Than I Imagined

Monday evening we met at the church for a multi-family FHE. Someone asked Maren how she like Ketchikan and she replied, "It is steeper than I imagined." The next day as we drove around and I took her up some of the steeper hills, trying to put some of the other hills she had previously been up in perspective.
Our container was delivered Tuesday morning and we went about unloading some of the items we really wanted, for instance, chairs to sit on and our card table dinning room table. Most important of all, to Collin and Connor, was our new 37 inch HDTV so they could play X-Box.


Our house is towards the end of Tower road and is the upper portion of a duplex that also includes the garage. The first two nights Maren and I slept on a air mattress while the boys slept on the floor, or where every they could.



On Wednesday we went to the DMV because our temporary permit for Arizona was about to expire. We have some advice for you if headed for the DMV in Ketchikan. Before you leave, let someone know where you are going and how long you expect to be gone. That way, if they don't hear from you at the scheduled time they will know where to come look for you. After a wait of more than 2 1/2 hours we finally got our car registered. The sad part is we still need to get our Drivers license and register the truck when it gets here.

It had been great seeing the pictures. And reading about some of your adventures.
How long did Conner sleep on the chairs?

Wow--I am sorry for the grammar and punctuation errors and mispelling Connor's name, too!
