After many many miles...
I am reporting to you from sunny Las Vegas!
All this stuff (well, most of it...some things wouldn't fit and we had to ditch our TV in Missouri because it was damaging some of our other things) miraculously made it from this garage:
To this garage:
It took some strong, good looking men:
And two VERY helpful, happy, fun, and selfless individuals:
But we made it and we had lots of good times along the way.
Nauvoo was beautiful and Carthage was incredible.
Nauvoo was beautiful and Carthage was incredible.
Springfield, Missouri was a fine time thanks to these men:
We drove A LOT. A LOT. And narrowly missed deadly tornadoes, seriously.
Which meant we needed to invent games like who could carve a shovel out of a carrot only using their teeth.
Gallup, New Mexico hosted us as we waited out a dust storm that closed the highway. Boy am I glad I don't live there.
And Flagstaff, AZ has a pretty tasty Denny's. Maybe we were just really hungry.
We pulled up to our new home on Wednesday. But that's for another post.

Your a brave woman moving clear through states with 2 kids AND being pregnant! Glad you guys made it! Love the carrot carving made me smile ha ha :)
i was just wondering how it was going in vegas and how y'all survived the drive. glad you missed the dust storms and twisters!
wow, sounds like it was quite the drive! crazy weather! i love the carrot shovels....that right there tells me just how long the drive is. We still have yet to make the cross country trip by car....at least i know now that carrots provide entertainment too! glad you're safe!
and kiki has been smiling since.:) loved the carrots!
I am cracking up about those carrots!! You guys are AWESOME!!
Glad to see all the pictures of your adventures. Such a long trip!
I'm so glad you made it! I've been thinking about you guys. Can't wait to see pictures of the new house. :)
You can make any situation a pleasant one can't you?! I love it! Your kids sure are lucky to have such a creative and fun mom! Glad you are safe and good luck with all the unpacking.
okay so the carrots grossed me out...but were pretty close to perfection. I miss you lots, but I am glad you are on solid ground and safe. I hope the hot water is coming in handy!
We sure miss you! Glad everything went well! Hope you are getting all settled in your new, WARM place!
I smile every time I remember (which is often) that you are only six hours away from me!!! I can't wipe the smile off my face right now! See you soon!!
Three important facts: a) I've missed you so much. I've been on a bit of a computer strike (not neccessarily self inflicted, but I've been offline nonetheless) and your humor is one thing I couldn't go to bed without partaking of and b) I'd hoped and dreamed of coming to see you with mom and Hardy R but things didn't work out and now I'm even more sad about missing out and c) I'm heading straight to the refrigerator to begin carving my own carrot spoon. Wait, wait, I'm going for a spork. Much more versatile. :)
