MOVING!!!

Part of the reason I am so far behind on blogging is because of our BIG move from Michigan to Spokane, WA!! This was by far the best one ever, since we got to use a moving company. Jon went to Spokane to start a little early, and then came back for the actual move. Since he wasn't going to be around to help pack, I also had the moving company help pack a bit- and let me tell you, that is the way to go! I did about half myself, but boy it was nice for the help.

Since they would also ship our van, we decided to take a detour and drive to Florida first for a trip to Disneyworld, and they ship our van from there and FLY to WA. While our stuff was crossing the frozen February country, we would have a nice little warm vacation! Definitely the thing to do- we had a blast!

Our truck as it was packed (our stuff only filled about half):

It about broke my heart, though, when the neighbor boy, Christian, who always played with the kids came over on moving day with tears in his eyes and said "WHY DO YOU GUYS HAVE TO MOVE?" It is hard to say goodbye to friends, that's for sure.

We stayed the night at our good friends, the Kaminski's, after our stuff was hauled away, we finished cleaning and before we took off for our drive to Florida.

On the way to Florida, we spent the night ONE last time at Laura's in Ohio, then we took two easy days of driving to get to Orlando (spending the night near Atlanta).

Lillian and Rachel- Lillian sure misses her cousin- they are two of a kind!

We were packed so full for our drive!!

It was fun to drive through states I had never been to- Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia! It was also so fun to see the seasons change as we drove south- from freezing Detroit weather to 75 degrees and sunny! Nice.

On to Disney!
