We are off....

So... with all the snow we had, the moving truck, could not get up the driveway or even close to it. Bill called after he dropped my mom off at the airport and said Lets GO! So we did. Left the house half packed half thrashed. If we wouldn't have left for Arizona when we did we wouldn't have made it by Christmas and that would have been the end of the world for the Kids and me. Didn't get to do all the proper goodbyes that I wanted to but, I must say leaving in such a rush was easier on me(and I could use a little easy). I really didn't think about the sadness of moving and leaving friends and my parents house and all that. Just Left. Nolan did ask "if we were Ever gonna go back to that house again(with big tears)?" That made me SAD.
So now I'm writing this post from a hotel room in Bakersfield Ca. We didn't get as far as we wanted to today because we are hitting another Snow storm in Ca. For the love. Snow is such a pain in the ass. Hopefully they will clear the roads tomorrow and we will be in Sunny AZ before we know it.
Now... after Christmas, Bill has to fly back to Oregon-pack-load and possibly drive back again. Poor Guy. I'll be in AZ with my sister Drinking by Pool:) until we find a place in Sugar Land. Nope no word on the house yet either. FYI its not super easy buying a for-closure they make you work for the good deal!!
If I don't get back to my blog before Christmas.
Cheers and Merry Christmas Everybody!!
God Is Good!:)
Oh also Moose has been a Fantastic road tripper- like I can't even believe how good he is being. And when a drunk guy accidentally stumbled onto our hotel door ... Moose was so brave and growled like Rott! So awesome its nice feeling a bit safer.

I am so sorry for the sad part! Every once in a while Mia will ask about Ferndale. You know they will be ok, it just takes time.
Tell Gina hello!!!! I wish I could join ya'll at the pool!!! How far is Arizona from Sugarland??? Maybe I'll move by your sister instead :p
and then you and Bill and mom can work your way back to Arizona!!!!
Now, THERE is a plan :D
