We're Together Again!!!!

We made it! Ryan & I both met in SLC, UT, on Wednesday night, and then drove up to Logan, packed up the truck, and then left the next morning. Thanks to the Sagers, the Allens, the Kings, and the Hansens for all of their help. Things would have taken much longer without you.

Ryan then drove our 26-footer all the way to Denver, CO. There, we packed up more belongings, and picked up Matthew. The next morning at 4:45 a.m. we left for Texas. We arrived here in Plano on Friday night around 6:30 p.m. I only drove one hour, so that means that Ryan drove almost 25 hours by himself. CRAZINESS! I have a wonderful husband!!! Thanks for your sacrifice, Hon!

Saturday, we signed our lease, and then, we began the move in. Special thanks to Wayne, Barbara, Brandon, Mike, Scott, Shea, and Jessica. Each of you helped us out so much! And Mike actually gashed his head, so thanks for your literal blood in helping us out. The guys began moving us in around 11:45 a.m. and finished by 3 p.m. Thanks again to everyone!!!

Now the really fun part has begun--unpacking. YIKES!!! Actually, it's working out wonderfully, because my parents are keeping David until Tuesday. Thank you! Thank you! This has saved so much time and energy. Plus, last time we moved in somewhere, I was huge pregnant with David and Matt was much younger. So . . . things are going really smoothly. We have been able to unpack and put away quite a bit, but we still have a ton more. It's definitely a work in progress, but I think by mid-week, we should be completely done.

We'll post pics when we can. -Ker
