Moving in our new home












Friday started out very early at 5:15 a.m. We had the truck packed so tight I'm surprised the door shut... the minivan was packed to the ceiling, and our car was loaded down as well. At 6 a.m. we left KC with Levi driving the moving truck, Mom and I in our car with the boys, David and Amanda in the minivan, and Dad on his motorcycle (who would later meet uncle Chuck and go on to Stergis later in the weekend). With 3 stops (mainly to feed the boys and gas up the motorcycle) we arrived in Sioux Falls at 2:15 p.m. About 30 minutes later Jim and Terri, Deann and the kids arrived from Kirksville. They had made the trip to help out as well, but the trip from Kirksville is about an hour longer than from KC. We all unloaded the truck and were pretty much done by 6 p.m. It is amazing how much our duplex already feels like home! Everyone was so helpful and efficient in getting things in the house and in the right rooms. Saying thankyou doesn't seem to express our gratitude enough, but THANKYOU to ALL of our family and friends for your help. It is wonderful to see how God's hand has been in every single little detail of this whole adventure. Our home is perfect for us, just as His plans are always perfect.
