Yes...we're alive! - Just an update - A little long....
MyLuvBugs wrote: Hello all. I've missed you all so much. We made it here.....just barely though. We left on the 29th from Lincoln to get to my parents place in Mid-Nebraska and that night....ICE STORM hit. We drove for 9 hours on the 30th at an average speed of 40 mph and made it to Dodge City, KS before calling it a day. UGH. The next day (31st) was WORSE (if you can even imagine! 14 1/2 hours in a car trying to get to Albuquerque to stay with my grandparents. UGH. There was an accident on the interestate and we sat in San Jon, NM for almost 3 hours waiting to get on the interstate. Even then the I-40 was only moving 40-50 mph. Happy new year to us, huh? But we made it there and spent a couple days. Got to meet with Monica (luvmykids) and had a lot of fun. I've never seen so much snow in ABQ before in my LIFE!
Now this whole time Steven is tracking our ABF truck.....it was still in Kansas City. In fact....it stayed in Kansas City until the 4th!!!! It was supposed to be at our new house on the 4th!! I figured if I could make it through an Ice storm with two kids, two cats and my mother in the car with me, the could make it through it too. KWIM? So we kept calling them and FINALLY on Friday January 5th This guy at ABF explains to me that other people paid to have their stuff confirmed on a specific delivery date and that our stuff was just being bumped b/c it wasn't "confirmed". Then I "explained" to him that we wanted our stuff. And it arrived here on Monday (the 8th). UGH.
So now we're finally unpacking and have internet, but we're all sick with colds. I will be so happy when everything is in it's place and we're all well again. This has been such an ordeal, but I must admit......it sure is nice to be in a house and not an apartment.
Well, I have to get going. I promise as soon as we have the house put together (mainly the office) I'll post Christmas and baptism and all sorts of pictures. You all will just be sick of it. Love ya'll and miss ya lots!

Your move sounds much like the one we had when we first moved here. Big snow storm in the middle of only french speaking Quebec on New Years Eve
Can't wait to see those pictures.
