Past few weeks

Excuse the long posts, I am using my blog more as a journal as well as informing friends and family.

Will back after being gone for a month

We had great help packing from family.

The past 3 months have been crazy but full of many many blessings. Will accepted his new job in Omaha, Nebraska Jan. 2^nd. Within the next 2 ½ weeks He packed up most of his stuff, and we bought a newer-used truck that should hopefully last us for years and work great in the snow for a pretty good deal.  The week of Christmas we managed to pay off my Honda.  Jan. 23^rd Will left me to drive to Nebraska and start work the 28^th.

He was such a trooper with the cold breeze 

 My last day of work was Feb. 8^th.  Between those two weeks I managed to pack up the rest of the house and garage, with help from family and friends, and move everything over to my father-in-laws to store.  We took up a whole garage space, and a guest bedroom.  I wanted to get everything moved out of the house as soon as I could so I could go stay with my sister and not be alone in the home.  After moving out and deep cleaning it, we put up our “For Rent” sign.

I had about 2 weeks from when I quit work till I had Brady.  During that time I hung out with some   The week Will came into town when I had Brady was perfect timing.  Will came in Tuesday and Friday we signed a contract with the renters and they had the house Sat. 

We have been so blessed with how quickly we found a truck for Will, I was able to move the house, and how soon we found renters.  Besides Brady, the biggest blessing of ALL has been that Will was able to make it to Arizona both times. 

 

The first time he flew stand by when he came after I had Brady.  Both to AZ and from AZ he was the very last passenger on the flight because one person had cancelled.  The second time he came, he drove with my Brother and Mom to bring back the trailer he took up the first time.  What is typically a 22hr drive when driving straight through with 2 drivers took 2 ½ very long days.  My brothers truck which had never had any problems broke down 2 weeks before the trip to AZ.  Then on the trip, it broke down 6miles outside of Denver at midnight.  They were then towed to a car place and tried to sleep in the truck with 25deg weather.  The next day after the truck was fix, it broke down in the middle of nowhere only 3 hrs later.  They were able to get another tow truck and be towed to a small town; by the time they got there shop had closed, so they had to get a hotel and stay another night waiting for it to be fixed.  Needless to say, instead of Will getting here early afternoon Tuesday he finally made it late Wed night.  We are all glad they made it, and the drives back to Nebraska have been a lot less eventful.

Brady slept most of the way both days
