The time finally came to say good bye to our Veranda Court home. There were lots of tears as we drove away. The Olson family waved to us as we drove away from the circle. We were now ready for our new adventure!
The next morning we started early and made the drive down to Gilbert in one day. Mike drove our car with the 3 girls and then Jason, Max, and I drove Mike's work car down. Max was a nightmare! He barked all the way from SLC to Las Vegas! Jason and I thought we were going to die. After Vegas Max settled down and the drive was a little more peaceful.
We made it to our new home around 7:00 that night. We laid out our sleeping bags and spent the first night in our new home. The kids woke up the next day excited to explore the house and the new pool! Our truck came that morning so, we did not have to wait to long to get our beds set up and start the process of moving in. Tom and Cathy happen to be on vacation in Phoenix that week so they came and saw us. Uncle Tom was the first person in the pool!
We moved in that weekend,and then that Monday the kids started school. It was so hard for me to drop the kids off at their new schools. It was especially hard to drop Jason off at a new junior high/high school. I cried all the way home thinking about the hard day my kids would have. But, the kids were strong and found some friends to eat lunch with and they were happy to go the next day. Lucy also started all day Kindergarten in AZ which was a hard adjustment for me, but Lucy loved being there all day.
Moving is really hard! Emotionally, physically, financially, but we did it! The Lord really helped us through this time and made each step bearable for us. It just all fell into place and we can't deny that this move was meant to be!
