Made it to Missouri

 Wow what a grueling last two weeks. Thank Heaven we have such an awesome real estate agent!! 

She told us, just pack and take what you want to Missouri and go and I'll take care of the clean up and get rid of everything you leave behind.  What a huge blessing!! 



She'll have a landscaper bring the yard back to our level of clean and tidy after no care for 18 months. Then she'll have the inside painted. It's going to be a wonderful house for whomever buys it. The love is in the walls and trees.


I remember Ben, climbing a tree and playing his guitar to a nest of newly hatched birds. It was so adorable.

So Tuesday we left with the Pearl pulling the trailer and our uhaul truck pulling two uboxes for uhaul.


That was a miracle. Uhaul called us and said they had two boxes that needed to be delivered to a nearby town in Missouri. 

They offered us $950 to trailer those boxes. So that basically covered our gas and hotels. We were so grateful for this blessing 

Our friend, Vadim, was helping us pack then asked if he could travel with us and help unpack!! Lol what an angel.

He rode with me in the truck and helped me stay alert. We cycled through audio books, music, games, and just talking to keep me alert. 

I was grateful he was there. Members of the LDS congregation met us at our house and unloaded five PODS and the uhaul. They came three times this week to help. Ephraim coordinated it all. Angels in jeans! All of them!

So now here we are! Among a pile of boxes! So much still to be done. So grateful for the protection. We saw five flipped cars over our four days of travel and we're almost hit by semi trucks at least four times!! It was running the gauntlet. 

Today we fasted for gratitude. Gratitude for the protection, the old house, the new house, our angel helpers, Vadim, Ephraim and Ben, and for each other.

Please keep in touch. We love you.
