Time To Move Again ...

July came and we quickly realized that it was going to be time for our family to move once again. Mark got official word that his start date was August 1st. We quickly bought airline tickets for all three of us to fly to Omaha in search of housing and to see the area. Max flew out with us and G & G Tippets drove over from Wyoming to meet us for a few days. It was a whirlwind of a trip but we were successful in finding a home to rent for the next year. The area is very green and we were surprised to see how many trees and hills there are in this area. While we are surrounded by corn fields .... we are also surrounded by very nice neighbors. We have been able to meet several neighbors and we could not have picked a better street to live on for Max! He is absolutely in love with playing outside in the yard and with the neighbors. Kids all around sure make playing outside a ball!

After less than a week in the area, we flew back to Virginia and Max drove back to Wyoming to spend the next four weeks with G & G Tippets while we got moved. Thank heavens Max has such great grandparents who love him so much and are willing to keep up with him 24/7. When we got back, I had to give my two week notice and Mark packed up the things he would be needing for the next 3 weeks. Mark drove the truck out and stayed in a local extended stay hotel while he started work. I was left to finish the packing of the apartment, coordinate the move with NAVL, the storage units, check out of the apartment and drive across country! No problem! Again, thankful that I was only worrying about myself to do all this and not try to keep up with Max during all this.

When all is said and done .... and a lot of sweating ... our move is finally complete and we are unpacked and loving our hew home. Max arrived the day I did, by plane, with mom and dad and we were all here during the truck unloading. It's hard to beat these fun opportunities but, we are glad to be rid of four storage units and to have all our things and family in one place!
