Our Move

When we first made the decision in February to move to Alabama, I thought I had plenty of time to get prepared and say goodbye. Spencer left in March and I stayed in Utah to get the house packed and let Ayden finish school. Our moving day wasn't until the end of May but it came too quickly and soon we found ourselves with a big moving truck packing up our belongings and saying goodbye.

Ellie and Ayden thought it was so cool to run in the empty truck and they couldn't believe that our "entire house" was going to fit.

But soon enough, the truck was almost full. The neighbor kids were helpful in making sure the truck was loaded.

We had to get a picture of all the kids by the truck!

 And of course we had to get one last picture as a family in front of our house. What you can't tell is that my eyes are puffy from all the crying(or maybe you can).

We loaded the truck and said goodbye on Saturday May 28th. On Sunday Spencer, his dad, and Ayden started the 3 day drive to Alabama. I was lucky not to have to endure 3 tortuous days in the van with 3 kids. Instead I flew with the younger 2 on the following Wednesday. Oh so much better!

Tate and Ellie loved to fly, especially when they had snacks. Ellie made sure to use her manners to request her own drinks on the plane. She was adamant that she do it herself! And she was a big help with Tate: keeping him entertained and fed.
