One Apartment, Two Steel Boxes


Alright, our apartment is officially empty, and I suppose officially not "ours" anymore. All of our earthly possessions are packed into two "relo-cubes" that will be traveling across the country to this little place called Kansas City, Missouri. It took a lot of work, (did I mention we lived in a third story apartment?), and we are so thankful for all the people that helped us out! I wish I had some pictures of all our furniture and boxes filling the place, because no one thought it would all fit into the cubes. No one that is, except Rob... and he was right! Everything fit perfectly with a little room to spare. Today I am a little soar, but I'm ready to tie up other loose ends and start planning the details of our road trip. 

This is Rob's Grandpa who was so helpful packing everything up!


We were very tired, but we did it!

Saying Goodbye


As we plan our trip, pack up our house, we also have to say goodbye to many people that we care about. Earlier this week, I spent a whole day with one of my closest friends. We played, we talked, we ate, we lost a turtle, (its ok the turtle came back) and we ate some more. It was just a great day, and I wanted to share some pictures.

They learned about dirt and worms


We had coffee and scones


My cute little kiddos (above... not the cute blonde one below)

They love this little bed... but Justice was left out eating gapes by himself.







The Start of Blogging


My family is moving to Kansas City, Missouri in about a week and a half where Rob will be a Worship Director at a church. We are very excited about our new adventure but understand it will be hard for our family and friends. I decided that we should start a blog to keep in touch with everyone from home. I will try to post pictures of our move and of our road trip all the way to KC-MO (it's K-C-Mo for all you Oregonians).
