After some tear filled goodbyes we loaded up the Penske truck and were on the road. We were SO excited to make a stop at the Christofferson's on our way - we headed up through Tennessee into Kentucky until we arrived at their place just outside of Cincinnati. We stayed two nights with them and it definitely wasn't enough time --sadly I didn't snap one picture but we sure had a great time catching up and letting the kids play - man we love those Christofferson's!
After our town nights we were back on the road, through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois & Iowa, Missouri, stopping just inside Nebraska for the night. A quick over-night rest and we were back on the road for our last leg...Nebraska, Wyoming and...
WE MADE IT! We were so happy to see that Idaho sign! Linq was in the big truck with LeGrand and we had kinda left them in the dust in WY because I got tired of driving slow, ha ha!
We pulled into Grace where Grandma Susie and Randy welcomed us with open arms! They were so great, letting us stay with them for a few weeks until we could move into the rental above the Ball's garage. We had tried so SO hard to make a different arrangement so we wouldn't have to move into the Ball's but the house we really thought we wanted we didn't end up getting and all the other rental options just didn't work out or didn't feel right. Sometimes in the moment it is SO SO hard to understand why things aren't going how we think they should - like when we put the offer on the little house we thought we would just make it work until we found something different and after being on the market for over 130 days TWO offers came in at the same time --so nuts! I remember just crying not understanding why - but in time, the answers always seem to come. It's so hard to let go and let the Lord work his plan sometimes.
