On April 6th our family pulled out of Nashville, TN after much packing of the UHaul truck and pull trailor. Last minute vehicle maintenance was also done causing a delay in departure plans.
We are fortunate in getting wonderful renters for our home and pray for their happiness at their new abode.
I learned later that snow flurries came across Nashville -- very unusual for this time of year.
Then I heard of tornadoes touching down in nearby Murfreesboro. (A small one had hit our neighborhood a few streets over on April 2nd).
Our journeys (laid out map travel plans) took us into Kentucky, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and finally arriving in Montana.
Our sons, Wynston (age 11) and Avery (age 9) were real troopers in this cross country excursion. They maintained a good upbeat attitude every step of the way. Wynston did express his stress upon arrival to our new home by getting sick and popping a blood vessel in his eye but is making a good recovery.
Now comes the mountain load of boxes to be unpacked.
Also, I forgot to include above, Uncle Dave (from Belgrade, MT) was very instrumental in flying down to help with the move. He also sustained a major injury. When unloading the Uhaul truck, he slipped off the step ladder, fell backwards, and hit his head requiring a trip by ambulance to the Great Falls Hospital and 10 staples to the back of his head. -- He and my husband have decided this is their last move together. They will let the young "bucks" handle it in the future while they watch and instruct.
