The past 48 hours have been a whirlwind for us! We left Beatrice with Monica's parents in Springfield on Monday, and we started driving to Indiana to pick up the yurt! Despite several attempts to actually enter yurts before, it may surprise some of you that neither Monica nor I have ever been in a yurt-- that is until yesterday!!! We spent last night in the yurt that will be our home, and it was so much fun! We also got to use the composting toilet, which was really not that bad at all! It kinda makes us wonder why we Westerners poop and pee in perfectly drinkable water and flush it down everyday! It really makes no sense when you think about it, especially when there are people around the world who don't even have enough water for their own citizens to drink!
Today, we began loading in all of the furniture, walls, and, yes, even the kitchen sink! We were a bit surprised to discover that the moving truck had to be parked a considerable distance from the yurt! However, Matt and Connie have a truck that we load up and drive to the moving van. It actually was a lot less trouble than we had feared! We had our friends, Dawn Ryan and family who live in Indianapolis come to help us, and we had a fabulous time visit as we worked together. Day one of moving was really wonderful!
Tomorrow, we will begin taking yurt apart, moving the wood-burning stove, and possibly even begin taking the deck apart. We have another friend, Dawn's mother, helping us tomorrow and we have hired someone who answered our ad on Craigslist. Stay tuned!!!
