And We're Off

Well we finally have the Internet again after 3 1/2 weeks without it so now I can finally get caught up with our blog. Since I'm a pretty organized person we'll start at the beginning...Jacob left for Prescott on the 9th of August which was kind of scary because we had no idea when we'd see him again. We had to wait for Jacob to first find a job and then a place for us to live before the girls and I we going to head down. Around the 20th of August Jacob found a job which we were so excited about, he started on the 24th and so far it's been a good fit. The next step was him finding a place to live which he pretty much needed to do before his first day of work because of his busy schedule. Jacob has work from 6am-1:30pm and then his classes are from 2pm-9pm Monday thru Friday. Luckily things were in our favor again and Jacob found us a place and signed our rental agreement on the 28th. On the 29th we loaded up our moving truck with the help of Jacob's wonderful family and we were off the next morning at 3am! My amazing brother in law Scott was sweet enough to help us with our move and he drove our moving truck for us and the girls and I drove down in our car. I was a bit nervous embarking on this adventure mostly because the girls have NEVER been in the car for that long ever and I was going to be driving in our car alone with them. I know I'm crazy right?! Well our trip was way better then I could have ever imagined. The trip was suppose to take 16 hours but it ended up taking 19 since we made some longer pit stops. Now we did have one bad hour where Olivia pretty much cried the entire time but 1 bad hour out of 19 really isn't that bad. I think the reason our trip went so good was because we left at 3am. That way the girls got to sleep for a few hours and when they woke up they were much more willing to stay in there seats and be in the car.

 

 

 

 It really was an overall good experience. The girls watched movies and the scenery was pretty nice too. Since the girls did so well Scott and I decided to make the trip in one day and I'm so glad we did because I was pretty much done being in the car and driving. Plus it was fantastic to see Jacob again and the girls were ecstatic to see him too. The next day Scott and I started unloading the moving truck, we were lucky to have 2 of Jacob's friends help for a bit and we got more then half the truck unloaded. Then the fun started...unpacking. I love unpacking!
