Update from North Dakota

Doy made it to North Dakota on Sunday evening without problems. He was not happy with the amount of gas mileage his F150 got, but thought it was a nice drive. He spent Saturday and Sunday sleeping in the back of his truck (he has a topper) and said it was bitter cold, mostly due to the air mattress being cold. Yesterday, he moved into his new apartment which he will share with 3 other guys. There are 2 sets of bunk beds in one bedroom, but it is cheap and nice he said. Doy says that the guys he shares an apartment with are all over 50, but that is okay with him. He is just there until June when we get up there.

Doy reports that Dickinson is a lot like Ashland. Its a college town so there are a lot of bars, restaurants and stores. Today Doy went to the recreation center in town and was super impressed. You have to check this place out. http://www.dickinsonparks.org/WRCC.asp It is no more expensive than the Y here and we are so looking forward to joining!! Afterall, with 7 months of winter, you have to have indoor entertaiment. There is also a indoor ice skating rink, Doy hopes that Brooklyn will become a Olympic figure skater. Not if she is clumsy like Aryssa and I.

That's all for now. I am starting to pack some stuff up and will have some stuff at a yard sale at my parents house later this month. I think moving is a great way to de clutter.
