November 1

We spent our morning with Mom and Dad, loading the remaining goods into Homey. With everything strapped on tight, it was time to say farewell. My parents each prayed for us, for our journey, and for Sadie :) We've spent months preparing, researching, saving, building, sewing, we couldnt believe this moment had finally arrived.....and it still hasnt hit us.

A little later than planned we pulled out of McCall around noon. We began our journey down the familiar highway 55 to Boise. The whole way admiring the incredible fall colors and textures of Idaho. Trying to wrap our heads around the moment I kept telling myself "This is it! This is what we've been waiting for, and working hard for!"

Arriving in Boise, we plugged into errand mode. Quick stop at REI then off to Sadie's vet appointment. She wasnt a happy camper after the Dr. sampled her blood for heartworm...twice! Thankfully she tested negative, and now she's all set with medication for both flea and heartworm.

We made our way to Eagle to collect the remaining necessary goods. By now we were really slowing down, our last night in town was catching up to us. And although we had already established the "No more Starbucks" rule we just couldnt resist a delicious boost, and figured it necessary if we were to remain productive. We stopped in and ordered 2 drips. Fortunately for us they needed to brew a new pot, and because it wasnt readily available our beverages were free!! We gave thanks for our fresh, free coffee :)

Now we were ready to tackle our long list of supplies. We rampaged several stores and by 8 o'clock we reached Aunt Rhonda's home. We enjoyed a soda and some SNL before heading for bed.
