We are in Glasgow now

A week ago my wife, Jen, and I made it to Glasgow. We are excited to be here and I will be starting to see patients tomorrow (Monday). We had a wonderful road trip across the country to get here stopping to see family in Ohio, Nashville, St. Louis and also doing tourist things in Mark Twain's hometown, visiting pioneer stuff in Southern Nebraska and seeing national parks across Kentucky, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming.

But our adventures only started as we ended our 4100 mile road trip here in Glasgow. We were not in our house more than 2.5hrs when we decided to go out and get dinner before everything closed on a Sat night. But after locking the front door we dropped our only house key and it fell through our front porch. Having no idea how to even get a locksmith at 9pm on a Sat night we decided to get dinner and ultimately had to use some of my tools from the still unlocked garage to cut a piece out of the floorboard to get it. Then the next day we had to return our rental car in Williston and were planning to take the train back to Glasgow. But we forgot that Williston is in a different time zone. Thankfully Amtrak was running 90 mins behind schedule so we were saved.

But in our first week Jen has already finished repainting our master bedroom, we have all of the large items where they need to be and are just sick of unpacking the little stuff. But we are enjoying being back and this time to stay. It was great to get out this morning to the Evangelical Church and nice to start hospital orientation this past Thursday. We do want to thank the many folks who helped us with various parts of our move and those that have been so very welcoming since we have gotten here.
