The Move

I really wish I would have taken more pictures of our last few days in Utah, and our 2 day drive out to Illinois. Things got so crazy and I wasn’t really thinking about taking pictures, but we had quite the adventure getting everything to fit in the truck with our allotted space and then traveling with the girls to Carbondale. I finally convinced Jason that driving his truck 1500 miles across the country really wasn’t a good idea, so he put it up for sale and sold it the next day. Mckenna and Madison were really good living amidst chaos and then being strapped in the car for two days. It was bittersweet when we arrived to Carbondale – so glad to not have to travel anymore but nervous, scared, and excited all at the same time what these next three years would be like. So far so good. Jason is doing great in school and we’ve made a lot of great friends. It’s been a time of growth and learning, but we have been so blessed and are grateful that we are here.

Kind of a random picture, but we were packing everything up, I was really stressed about something and I heard Mckenna and Madison in the next room laughing. Madison had scooted under the crib with Mckenna and they were cracking up. It was just what I needed to get me through the day. (Look at those legs, Madison!)DSC_1006
