We have made it!

For all of you where were on the edge of your seat wondering if we made it or not.  We have made it.  I know that many of you have been worried about the weather and our travels.  We actually left that afternoon and made it home the next day.  We have been here for a couple of days and the kids are loving being with Grandma and Grandpa Haacke.  It was a little weird to go to church yesterday and the church be stuffed to the rafters with our neighbors.  We will need to get used to that. 

We are packing and unpacking. We are packing my parents house and unpacking our boxes.  It is kind of crazy and so if you want to visit, you will have to deal with the mess, but I would suspect most of you are at a distance that a drop by visit is unlikely. 

Well,  I will try to post some pictures later.

Almost There!

This trip has been a long one and all of us are ready for it to be over.   We started off the day by finish packing the truck and driving Porter to the airport.  We drove a couple more hours before the kids about blew up from tiredness.  We Stayed the night in Lincoln Nebraska.  We took off early that morning and we were shooting to hit Cheyenne, WY.  When we got there the roads were closed past there due to snow and fog.  We had to pull off and wait the night.  The weather was  a little nuts and it was hard to find a place to park the truck.  We booked the hotel fro two nights just in case we needed to stay. 

The roads were closed until noon yesterday and so we took off after lunch and made it to Rock Springs, WY.  We are here now and there is about 5 hours left to get to Sugar City.  We are excited to have this part of the transition over with.

We are on our way!

We have packed up everything except for this here computer... This is the last thing to go on the truck.  We are not too excited about the trip... actually I am pretty excited to drive this huge truck possible smashing of cars as I drive over them (it feels like a monster truck).  We appreciated my brother Todd (Porter) coming out to help pack the truck and spend time with the kids.  

They either liked him right from the beginning or they thought he was me.  We are planning to make it to Sugar City on Wednesday at the latest.  Stay tuned for the next blog episode... "Unpacking the truck and moving in with parents."

We are moving

We are packing up our children and our house and moving to Idaho.  Some of you may have already known this fact. I cannot confirm nor deny any rumors that are circulating, but one thing is true.  My parents have decided to go on a mission if we go.  And with a couple of interviews under my belt in Rexburg, ID, we are going to throw our chances into the wind and see what happens.  My brother Todd (Porter) is flying out here in the next week to help pack a truck.  We are excited to move and get closer to family.  We are also excited to be closer to the church as it has been a little hard to travel the 45 minutes to the church at least twice a week.  We have not started packing yet, but today is the day and I will let you know how that goes.  We will probably leave Iowa and the 22nd and arrive sometime that same week.  

Wish us luck, and if you are in Iowa on the 20th, feel free to load some furniture.
