Well I know it has been forever since I wrote- or at least it feels that way! We made it to Texas. We left Georgia on January 2nd around 7 a.m. My mom and dad were able to come with us which was such a blessing. As we drove we decided to go ahead and drive straight through until we got here. The kids did AWESOME!!! we couldn't have asked for them to travel any better. I was more worried about Emileigh traveling that far than I was Noah but she did so good. So the hardest part of the drive is the last three hours which are all driven in Texas. The rest of the drive seems pretty quick and painless, then you hit the Texas state line. Oh My Word!!! It takes forever to get from the state line to our house. At least that's the way it feels!!
So we were supposed to get all of our furniture on Tuesday, but that of course didn't goes as planned! We used a moving truck that we packed ourselves. Well actually, three guys from our church back home came and helped us pack it up and spent our last days in Commerce with us. They will never know how much it meant to us that they were willing to sacrifice their time to come and help us. Back to Texas, well the moving company then calls us on Tuesday saying it should be here Wednesday. Then Wednesday morning we get a call that it won't be here till maybe Thursday. Very frustrated we talked with the people found out it was in Dallas, and the quickly arranged to have it here in Fort Worth that day. So Wednesday afternoon we finally got all of our furniture. We then had to rent a moving truck here in Fort Worth, unload the big truck on to the little one and bring the stuff to the house!!
The unpacking then began!! We had some wonderful neighbors that once they saw us pull up in the moving truck came over and started helping us unpack the truck. SO about two hours later everything we owned had been unpacked and stacked in our house. The next two days consisted of us unpacking everything and finding a place to put it. I am very thankful that my mom and dad were here. My mom was a HUGE help in helping us get unpacked and organized.
I haven't been able to yet but I plan to take pictures of our little hose and let y'all see were we live! It is small but cozy and we love it! We have slowly been meeting all of neighbors. Everyone is so nice, encouraging and informative! It is so nice to have people that are in our exact same situation that understand exactly where we are coming from!
It has been amazing to see how God has been providing. We have been overwhelmed and humbled from those who have sent us notes, donations and the support that we have received. Never in our lives did we ever expect to get the kind of outpouring of love that we have received. We are so grateful for all your prayers and love. We could not be doing this with out them!
