I've been every where man...

Al-righty people we've spent many hours the last couple of days traveling many many hours. The road is a long long way to go. As I stated in the previous post we traveled many miles total to go. All went pretty well:

Wednesday:
Picked up the truck and dolly from PENSKE.


We had a visit from Lindsays sister Shawnie and her kids DJ and Mathias.
That night we had the help of Andy Scheidegger and Dale Erskine. The two of them helped out alot. Thanks.

Thursday:
We worked on getting the odds and ends stuff in the truck. Shawnie came back over and visited, again. She helped for a little while which was an actual help to us.
That night our friend Amanda and her daughter Samara came over and helped. After which we headed over to Perkins to enjoy a meal together.

Friday:
Finally the time came after much cleaning and loading the car on the dolly we handed in our keys and headed off to Missouri. Lindsay, Ayden and Kenna, Follwed behind me in the Grand Marquie. And I was in the truck with Focker (the cat) and Jinx (the Ferret.) We pulled into Missouri Friday night and visited with the the in-laws a little before everyone decided to go to bed and catch up some more in the morning.

Saturday:
Saturday was Penny and Colin's Anniversary. They graciously allowed us to tag along. the four of us, the kids were being babysat, took in a movie: No Country for Old Men. Ending was weird but it was pretty good.

Sunday:

We headed out with the intention of making it to Lincoln Nebraska. We didn't make it that far though as we had what we thought was really bad cross wind the whole way. We finally stopped for the night in St. Joseph Missouri, late in the night. St. Joseph Half way from Kansas City to Lincoln, roughly. When we stopped was good timing, it started to rain and by the time we got our hotel key it was sleeting.

Monday:
On Monday we headed out for our next stop Cheyenne Wyoming. As we were getting closer a weather advisory began to come over the radio. Now if any of you have ever driving in Southern Wyoming know it can get pretty windy. The Advisory stated that there would be gust of wind from any where from 30 to 60 mph winds. this of course were cross winds. Making it to Cheyenne we decided to push on to Laramie. Once there and looking for some rooms we decided to forgo Laramie and head to Rawlins Wyoming. The winds were incredibly bad and along the way there were several semi trucks that had been blown off the road. I had the stearing wheel literally turned half way to keep the truck going straight.

Tuesday:
This was our last push. We left Rawlins at roughly 1:30 that day.
focker our cat decied that late Monday night he would stop hiding behind the truck seat and join me in the cab. if he wasn't sitting on Jinx's (the Ferret) cage he decided he would lay on the dash.

I almost forgot what springtime ment if you where in Wyoming...


Tuesday night we finally arrived in the valley. I will try and get some pictures up of our new apartment once we are settled and unpacked.
