Well, sorry for the delay, folks! Moving, holidays, and no internet at home really put a cramp in the blogging. But, there's lots to share!
We packed up 293 Hurt Road on December 22nd and headed out - most of our earthly possessions went northwest towards Denver on a massive semi-truck (driven by the most wonderfully smiley, bubbly, workhorse of a woman) while Drew, Loui and I headed north towards Michigan. A weird moment, seeing your first house for the last time, pulling away. It was exciting, but hard to think of not seeing it again. (Oh wait, I did, two weeks later!)
Over the holidays we were able to see Killians, Swansons, Murphys, a Kreb and a Kolb. Pretty much everyone. Weather held, and we even had some wonderful snow for Christmas in both places. My nephew William, brother-in-law Kurt, Drew and I even got out sledding a time or two!
We left Iowa for Colorado on a Tuesday night (with intentions of driving straight through) and listened to the Hawks play in the Insight Bowl for the first few hours. Definitely helped us get through Iowa and into Nebraska without need for coffee! Hawks won in a nail-biter. ;) Took an hour nap somewhere in Nebraska, saw a wolf/coyote silhouetted on top of a hay bale under a full moon (beautiful!), and finally made it to Denver around 10am in time to sign our lease on a cool rental house. And then we crashed...
Said mover (smiley, bubbly, workhorse of a woman) showed up the following morning with all our earthly possessions! Intact! Accounted for! Awesome! :) We'd been told that might not happen... And it all got unloaded in the first snowstorm of the year in Denver! Now for the unpacking...
