PCS to Alaska

Our family would appreciate your prayers as we embark on our next adventure to Alaska! 71+ hours of driving over the next 9 days to travel 4200+ miles during a pandemic with two teenagers and a dog. Followed by a 14 day quarantine as soon as we arrive.

Packing to Leave Ohio

It is time to pack up and move from Ohio.  

We spent days social distancing from the packers and movers in the unfinished part of the basement.

Clay still had to work while everything was getting packed up.

We got creative making furniture out of boxes.

Moving from Boston

The movers arrived to pack and load ALL our stuff!

We will be living on air mattresses now.

Playing games with friends.

Serving for the last time at Renewal Church.

Got matching rings with friends.

Visiting Castle Island for the last time!

Move from Fayetteville to Boston

Moving Again!

This move was one of the hardest yet.  We all LOVED our church and made tons of great friends.  It was very emotional and hard to say goodbye.

Our friends the Hancocks kept Baxter all week for us while the packers and movers were working.  

The girls loved getting to spend the night at their house one last time before we left.  

The next night the girls had one last playdate and sleepover at the Fisher's house. 

The morning we left, they had a quick playdate with the West boys.  We are going to miss all of these families and are looking forward to them visiting us in North Carolina.  

The packers had all our stuff packed and ready to load on the truck.

 Clay oversaw the loading of the truck while the girls, Grandma and I started the drive to North Carolina. 

We got the keys to our new house and camped out in it over the weekend.  

The moving truck arrived on Monday morning with all of our stuff.

Baxter did surprisingly well with everything.

He was just happy to have his ottoman back.

We are so thankful for another successful move.  A huge thank you to Grandma for coming up and helping us get settled in.  We are looking forward to seeing what God has for us during these next four years in North Carolina.  

Moving Day

We were getting tired of sitting around the TLF waiting to move, so we drove down to Grandma and Granddaddy's house for the weekend.  While we were there, we loaded up a U-Haul truck with items they were giving us for the new house. 

We started the drive back to Georgia, but ended up sitting for 2 hours on I-75 because of a bad accident just ahead of us.  The girls got out of the van to go talk to Daddy in the U-Haul truck in front of us.  Not many kids get to run on I-75. 

Madison passed the time by reading the comics.  I filed my nails and Jocelyn watched The Lion King while we waited for the traffic to start moving. 

Once we got to the house, we unloaded the furniture and returned the U-Haul.  We love our new comfy leather sofas. 

Our first night in the house, was spent camping out in the Living Room.  Mommy got to sleep on the sofa.  Madison got to sleep on the loveseat.  Daddy and Jocelyn decided to sleep on the floor.  We enjoyed watching The Magic School Bus on the girls' DVD player before bed. 

The next morning the movers arrived at 8 a.m.  They had everything unloaded and in the house by 3 p.m. 

The girls were happy to finally sleep in their own beds.

Madison loves her new horse bedding. 

After making sure that we all had beds that were ready to sleep in, I worked on putting all of the kitchen items away last night.  It is so nice to have a house to call home, even if it is full of boxes at the moment.  Thank you to all of you that have been praying for us during this move.  I will be posting more pictures of the house as we get things organized.
