The Drive

Lots of catching up to do! We finally have internet in the house, so I will probably do a few blog posts over the next day or so to catch up.

The drive went really well! We left around 5am Sunday morning and made it to Ohio by 5pm or so. Nobody got car sick, and Eli did incredibly well as well!! I mean, it was a little squishy, but Eli spent most of his time either curled up on the floor at Roman's feet or staring out the windshield. The only snafu we hit on day one was accidentally locking the keys in the running car at a pit stop. After about an hour of us and another random dude trying to get it open with a coat hanger, a car lock guy showed up. Thank goodness he only charged us $20! We learned those guys often charge $50-$60!

We spent the night with some friends of mine, and then hit the road again at around 4:30. We had no issues that day, other than some rain, and made it in to Kirksville by 3pm (4pm for everyone else).

I had about 30 minutes to meet the landlords, get in to the house, and figure everything out before a TON of people from the church showed up and helped unpack! the whole truck was unloaded and my kitchen was unpacked by 5pm. It was crazy. I'm talking 20-30 people showed up, and mainly people we had never met!

Other than that, the drive and getting in is a pretty boring story. Next up will be some crummy pictures of the house for you all, update on the job, and kid pictures. Which I know is why you are all reading this anyway.

Oh, and just so you all know, yes- my sewing machine is back out. :) Since Wednesday I have made us all Christmas pajama pants, a dress and a skirt for Ryley, a grocery bag holder, and have a few other projects in the works :)
