Oh Chicago, the windy city! What a blast we had exploring as a family! I have to tell you, I don’t think we could have possibly fit anymore in to the 24 hours we spent seeing the sights. Even with three young kids, we got it done. And I, for one, am leaving a complete and total fan of the …
Saying goodbye is never easy. But it’s especially difficult when you’ve chosen it. Packing up and leaving the place that I’ve called home for my entire life- 33 years- it’s challenging. There are mixed emotions to say the least. And honestly, as I’m closing in on the end of our road trip, and the beginning of my ‘new life’ on …
Readers, I’ve missed you. I hope you’ve missed us. It’s been four whole days! But we’ve been busy as ever doing a whole lot of not a lot with family. But when you’re with family, it all feels very busy and very exhausting, right? In the best way, of course! You’ll find us today where you left us last time, Rockford, Illinois. …
Most of you don’t realize this, but when Thomas left to take the uhaul across the country to our farm, he embarked on quite the adventure. He and his friend, also called Tom, ended up doing a three day trip in about 50 hours. It’s quite the story… check it out!
Hellllllllllloooooo there Readers! If you’ve been following along on our adventures, you know that we’re in Iowa! If you haven’t been following along, I’ll give you fair warning, this might be a strange place to start. But come on along whoever and wherever you are! We’re on the 9th day of our 20 day move from Northern Nevada to Summertwon …
Okay, so turns out the alarm in our trailer in the middle of the night, probably wasn’t due to the Golden Retriever’s laying against it. Or at least not entirely. It was probably due to the fact that we were actually suffocating ourselves. I agree, that sounds dramatic, but we’ve never camped in the snow before with the trailer, so …
Yesterday Merit thanked Tom, as we were getting out of the truck, for taking him to Yellowstone. We’re not in Yellowstone. And he thanked us for letting him see the ‘piles of smoke.’ Geysers. This is a different road trip he’s remembering- I was pregnant with his 17 month old little brother to give you a clue. When I think …
We left my in law’s house right around 1pm yesterday to head into the wild blue yonder of our future. I couldn’t bare leaving before I went to small group one more time, so although my husband thought he was doing me a favor by waiting around so that I could attend, I think it ended up being a blessing …
I woke up on our last day living in Nevada filled with peace. I can’t say that I haven’t been peaceful about this move, but the closer we got to it, the more anxious I was becoming. Not because I think it’s the wrong thing. There hasn’t ever, at any point, been doubt. And not because of the obnoxious process …
It’s been absolutely crazy around here as we condense 4300 square feet into what will be ONE Uhaul load across the country to Tennessee. It’s emotional, it’s exciting, it’s freeing, it’s stressful, it’s all the things. On the one hand, it’s been really wonderful to purge a lot of things that I don’t need to have in my life anymore. …
