The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Well, its been an interesting few days since we officially became residents of the village of Hepburn. A few highlights;
The Good - The kids have made friends already, hung out at a few different homes, they actually both were visited by kids their ages on the first night. Small town community at its finest!! We had many helpers to unload our very full UHaul truck/trailer - what a humbling experience to pull up to your new home to the smiling faces of 20 strangers waiting to help you move in! I (Kelly) am LOVING the job at Bethany - what a tremendous group I'll be working with, and the pace will be so manageable. Very refreshing! On the first two nights, we were visited by the Welcome Wagon and the two local churches. Wow!
The Bad - We've had some home maintenance issues - our kitchen plumbing went haywire and somehow drained into the basement - right onto Owen's bed (immediately under the kitchen sink!). We quickly learned that it can be a really great thing to have stores open past 5 pm .. Bren had to trek to Hague (not that far) to check out their hardware store for supplies. We think everything is A-OK unless this issue is related to ...
The Ugly - Confirmed city slickers we are!! Our well has stopped pumping for some unknown reason to be figured out tomorrow. In the meantime, there is no running water in the house .. thank goodness for the water cooler in the kitchen or we wouldn't even have brushed our teeth before bed!
