It was pretty much all over for us in Richfield, except for the crying. Rus and I went back to The Cove for coffees this morning, and made one last trip (this time around) to Katie' Cup. I then started to pack the car as Carrie and Carla bid their farewells to their family.
Carrie and Carla...?
Yep – that's right. Carla, Carrie's sister, is coming to Seattle to live with us for a few months as she looks for a new job and new life. In the process, she'll be giving Carrie some much needed help with the kids. Both Carrie and I (and Axia) are very happy to have her with us and our house is now officially hers for as long as she's here.
After mahy tearful farewells, we, in two cars (Carla took Axia, which was a huge load off of Carrie and I) made our way to my brother in law's house. Even during the (relatively) short drive from Richfield to Salt Lake City, Carrie and I still needed to stop one time to take care of the kids.
Rodney had just recently brought a new house in the Sugarhouse district of Salt Lake City, and this was the first time that Carrie and I had seen it. It's about the same size as our place in Seattle, but it has a full size basement and sits on about twice the amount of land as ours does – all for half the price. You gotta love variability between housing markets!
We ended up eating pizza, watching DVD's, and spending the night at Rod's place. We'd need plenty of rest for the next day's journey.
