We have been in our new place for one week already. Change is always hard for me, but so far it has been ok. Right before we left Pocatello we sold our dodge neon to my sister and her husband. I was a tiny bit sad b/c it's the car we went on our first date in and have had the whole time we've been married. But it was time to let it go. Plus we need a car with air conditioning when we're in Texas! I hope it will be a good car for Jana and Rob.
We stayed up really late getting everything ready to pack in the truck the next day. Jacob's brother Harvey and his wife Rachel were good sports and helped us out a ton.
Jacob's dad (and mom) were wonderful and came with us to drive the U-haul.
I took pictures along our way out the side window so these may not be the best quality.

we were glad to be driving our car and not the big Uhaul through this pass in Utah
pretty Utah mountains
windmills in Wyoming
we reached Colorado right at sunset
Oklahoma plains
Welcome to TEXAS! (We still had about 11 more hours of driving to reach the other side of the state!)
We were so happy to reach our new town on the third day and get out of the car. We got everything unloaded in a few hours with the help of the Woods and a couple guys from our new church. I am still getting boxes unpacked and finishing the decorating but at least it is feeling more like home now. I'll put pictures up later when we're more settled in. Good luck to our other friends who are still moving! I'm glad ours is done. Thanks to all that helped in any way! We miss our family and friends back in Idaho but are looking forward to making new friends here.

I'm so sad you're gone. The car is working great and it is much nicer than the car we were driving. Have fun in Texas! I can't wait to visit.
We are so glad you are here...we enjoyed the 4th with you guys!
How is Houston?? I want to come visit sometime. I have Mondays off now, so maybe I can come on a Sunday evening and hang out with you on Monday! How does Jacob like his job?
Sad and happy at the same time. I'm glad you made it! Change is good and I know you'll have lots of friends fast! You guys are so much fun.
I'm glad you made it to Texas. I'm also glad we're not the only one's that had to move. It feels like a lot of us were. You, us, Olsons, Allreds, Cushings. Hope everything is great there. We miss you.
