So anyhow, there we were packing. We had like 2 hours to be out of the house and we had so much junk to pack still. So many things did not "make the truck". Thankfully Chris, Dan, and Jerry came by. They strapped all this stuff to our trailer! We literally looked like the Beverly Hillbillies!! It was hilarious. It was also nice to have a little humor after all the sadness I had been feeling...so much for JOYFUL submission.
Anyway, we stayed the night at the Abell's home. They saw us off the next morning for our 15 hour trip. We ended up stayin the night at Cliff and Janann's house. They had moved to that same area about 2 years before us. Janann was also pregnant at the time. My being pregnant caused frequent stops along the way. I'm so thankful my family was very patient with me, although I'm sure they were thankful for my Dairy Queen cravings!!!
We set up shop in our new rental home! The kids (Dillon who was 11 at the time and Jessica who was 10) were thrilled. Everything was exciting for them: the stillness and quiet all around us, seeing so many stars at night, hiking, four wheeling, the thrill of the upcoming Fall season!!! They loved small town living right away.
Our first Sunday, we tried attending a church not far from us. On the way we got stuck in "traffic". They traffic turned out to be the neighbors' cow who had escaped from its pasture and would not budge from the middle of the road. The traffic also consisted of two whole cars in front of us!! LOL!! The kids and Mike loved it! Now that's what I call small town living!!
