On the ranch

Well...where to start?
Yesterday was a long day.  We went out on the lake with Dave and Annie and Shauna (a local that is working there) and her husband Patrick in the morning.  Annie got to back a trailer for the first time, the boat and the jet ski both were having problems, and Jesse almost killed Dave.
After that we got our Uhaul from the shop and Dave and Annie helped us get moved into the ranch house.  We don't have a ton of stuff, and it already has a table and chairs and about a hundred couches and a washer and dryer, so we left most of the big stuff at the shop.  We did bring our bed, though, so this house now has 15 beds in it.  It's a little bigger than two people really need.  We were moving the two beds from our bedroom upstairs so they would be out of the way, and one of them got wedged halfway up the stairs, and Jesse had to take it apart, which was no easy task, and I didn't make it any better by being grumpy.  But we got the beds situated, which was the most important thing that late in the evening, and drove into town to have spam and rice with Jody and Mel and Kian, because what little food we had was packed up, and we were too tired to bother with it.
We sat around the table, wedged in amongst the boxes, and played Kian's fishing game with him while Jody fried spam.  It was nice to spend some time with them when we weren't busy moving people.  I feel like we have been moving and cleaning and busying since we got here (except the morning on the boat), and it was nice to sit and talk.  Mel is due with their second in November, and they told us about a birthing center that is just over an hour away that apparently is so good that people come from out of state to have their babies there, and is cheaper than either going to a hospital or having a midwife come all the way out here to Breckenridge.  Disclaimer: I am NOT pregnant, not am I planning to be, but I do like to know about these things, and it's always good to have it planned in advance.  Anyway, they said we could go with them to an appointment and meet everyone and check it out if we want to, which I feel wouldn't be a bad idea.  For future reference.
Anyway...we got home and realized that our water doesn't get hot because we have no propane. Thankfully taking a cold shower almost feels good when your bathroom is 95 degrees.  Neither of us slept much, I never sleep well in a new place, but I still managed to get up with Jesse, eat some lucky charms, and spend a good four hours sweeping and mopping and vacuuming and unpacking and sweeping some more and doing laundry and sweeping again before going and spending a couple hours with Mel and Kian this afternoon.  He and I played alot of hide and seek.
When I got back, I finished putting most of the place together, and then got lazy and read Blue Like Jazz until Jesse got home.  He needed to sight in his rifle, and I actually managed to hit a few things...one of them being the post that the targets sit on, so now there's a big gouge in it.  Oops.  It's nice being out here.  I know Jesse loves being able to just go out and shoot things whenever he wants.  Plus, we probably will see alot of people living here.  Nicole and John just showed up to go look for some piggies.  When I get settled and have time to go grocery shopping, I'll have to make sure to always have some sweet tea and a full cookie jar for everyone.
