Yes...we're alive! - Just an update - A little long....


MyLuvBugs wrote: Hello all. I've missed you all so much. hug.gif 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. wacko.gif The next day (31st) was WORSE (if you can even imagine! rolleyes.gif 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. rolleyes.gif Happy new year to us, huh? dry.gif But we made it there and spent a couple days. Got to meet with Monica (luvmykids) biggrin.gif and had a lot of fun. I've never seen so much snow in ABQ before in my LIFE! ohmy.gif

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!!!! mad.gif It was supposed to be at our new house on the 4th!! dry.gif 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". dry.gif Then I "explained" to him that we wanted our stuff. And it arrived here on Monday (the 8th). UGH. rolleyes.gif

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. smile.gif

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. smile.gif
Love ya'll and miss ya lots! hug.gif
