Our journey to Houston

Beginning our 26 hour journey!! Woo, it's a long one. But Catching Fire on cd made it so much nicer! (Thanks mom Allsop!)

Ben drove the 26 foot truck with Alan and I drove with the kids. Thank goodness Troy can get in and out of his car seat by himself or I would have been doomed. 

Troy loved it, and Liam endured it. 

Our first night was in Albuquerque in a Marriott. It was really nice and full breakfast in the morning! Alan was a trooper to endure a difficult night sleep for a few nights because we all slept in the same room. 

Katelyn was an angel. She sits up so well now. She also gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth. 

Ben and I had to stop and get a picture of this popular gas station. 

The second night we stayed in Dallas with the Kitchens!!!! Oh how we have missed them. Words can not describe. Their two boys were a perfect combo for our two. 

This picture is in the morning. Most of the time they were running nonstop and playing with toys. Liss made a fabulous breakfast and Brock was sweet to stay awake after his night shift. I could not believe how well he could function. Flashbacks of staying with the Garzas and we talked to Reed after his 30 hour shift. Craziness!!!

The last day was only 5 hours and then we moved till night. I have never been so exhausted and I'm sure Alan hasn't either. It was just the 3 of us. We will make sure to have help in 6 months when we buy a house. We are renting in a community right now that feels like a resort. Only 2 bedroom but there is a loft that Ben and I will sleep in. Houston houses are cheap, but renting is NOT. We are really happy with our place though. I'm excited to meet our ward tomorrow!

The last few days have been mostly unpacking. But we did go up to Spring to see my old house (oh my beautiful, I didn't remember it at all) and then we ended up visiting Rob Ellis and his wife with Alan. I felt bad after finding out they had a baby 3 weeks ago!! But they were so kind and it was fun to be back in their house. I feel surrounded with wonderful people and it's going to make this adjustment a lot easier. 

P.S. GO BYU! Great game today.
