Well, we arrived in Oklahoma 26 days ago. And I have yet to post a single thing about the move! I have loads of photos to share but instead of giving you photo burnout I'll put them up in a couple of different posts.
Before we left Arizona I wanted to take some photos around the house. Even though we were ready to move, I also knew I'd miss the first home we bought together, the home we brought both of our children from the hospital to and the 7 years of memories we made while living there.
As a family, we were apart for over 5 months since my husband took his new job in Oklahoma. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
But we survived. And are thrilled to be back together again. I tried to pack as much as I could before my family came to help us move. Packing is not easy when you have two little ones around!
I've learned a lot over the last several months. I've learned how to push through when you don't want to. I've learned that even when things look grim, someone usually has it worse than you do. I've learned to pray ALOT.
I've learned I don't want to live life without my husband. He is my partner and friend. We are much stronger together than apart.
The kids rooms were always so peaceful to me. I loved escaping to them to play with the kids since we spent most of our time in the family room throughout the day.
We're living in a small rental house for the moment while we figure out our new surroundings and next steps. I think I will miss the kids decorated rooms most of all.
Curious George is a family fave.
I'm looking forward to watching this little boy grow up in a new place. In our new home.
I'm not sure what I was thinking taking the girls room photos at nightime without a flash.
These are just a few of the frames that filled Miss M's bedroom wall.
The very first dress I made for my sweet girl. I had to hang it up on display because it might be the only one I make for her! Hopefully not though.
The kids love to look up at this photo wall and point to themselves and other family members.
And for the final embarrassment. We ended up having to drive 2 trucks to Oklahoma. Crazy? Yes. I'm so thankful both my husband and my dad were there to be able to drive them. It was a scary trip driving through the curvy roads of Arizona and the windy plains of Texas. I won't ever do it again.
The Lord watched over us and we made it safe and sound. Whew. I think the trip took years off our lives. Now onto our next adventure!
