Our Move out West

Moving day snuck up on us.  I know we only had two weeks notice, but still, it came so fast.  I feel so blessed our home sold quickly because I was able to have boxes out and work on packing during the days. Since we accepted an offer we didn't have to keep showing our home.  Having to have our home show ready at any moment would have sent me over the edge!

Shannon put together a girl's night just before I left.  It was so sweet!  I was blessed to have so many great friends in NWA.  Some of the best people I have ever known.  One of the best things about living in Arkansas was I got to learn how to make friends as an adult.  Ah...I miss these guys so much!

We had so much help the morning of our move.  Everything was packed, cleaned and ready to go by lunch time.  We got in the car and headed to Derby, KS to spend the night with my Aunt and Uncle.  We will miss spending Thanksgiving with them!

We arrived in Utah after 3 days of driving in the car.  I think google maps said our drive would be 22 hours (without stops). Tony was driving our moving truck and I was in the van.  Two 11+ hour days seemed a little long so we divided our trip into 3 days.  We got one of those double dvd players for the van and that SAVED the boys' lives and my sanity.  I'm pretty sure I can quote Finding Nemo word for word now. ("just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keeping swimming swimming swimming...what do we do we swiiiim, swwiiiiimmm, swiiiiiiimmmmmmm!"--a pretty good motto for 22 hours of being in the car with both boys!)

I know this move was meant to be.  Everything has worked out a little too perfectly.  I know this is where we are supposed to be right now.
