ready... set... move!

Is it that time already?! Goodness how time flies. I can't procrastinate any longer. Today I will deep wash the bathrooms, scrub the floors and get all of our things in order for our three day road trip to MN en route to Sioux Falls, SD!

Matt told me this morning the movers will be here in between 9am-10am tomorrow. They'll pack up our first home into a gazillion boxes and we'll be left with a big empty house... how strange. But before we know it we'll be house shopping with Wendy, our wonderful Sioux Falls realtor, for a new home!

Good news! We are happy to report we have finally found a place to stay in Sioux Falls! Matt's friend Annie has been a huge help. Her parent's house will be our temporary home while we look for our new house! We are hoping it will only take us a few days! Can you tell we like to do things FAST?

It's out of necessity, not choice because Matt starts work next week! He'll meet a new team of employees and start revamping the store! I recently applied for a position with Sanford Health Children's Hospital. Although I have a job secured with Granite City- the hospital job would be a much better fit. Please pray I hear back and get an opportunity to interview!!!


The plan for now is to leave San Antonio as soon as we finish cleaning on Friday. We'll drive 5 1/2 hours to Dallas and stay overnight. We'll hit the road again on Saturday and stay overnight in Kansas City. We expect to arrive in MN sometime late Sunday night. If you are around and can meet up with us on Monday- let us know! We'd love to see friends and family while we are in town even if it's only for a day! :)

We ask for prayers for safe travel, an easy move and a smooth transition! Goodbye San Antone, hello Sioux Falls!

  2. What a whirlwind! If you weren't on such a tight schedule, I'd beg you to stop by Des Moines for lunch on Saturday. Since you're coming from KC on your way to Minneapolis, it is right on your way. No joke, we are five minutes off I-35...okay, okay. I'll stop. I know you're busy and I'll see you in Omaha in two months anyway. I'll be praying for a smooth transition to SD, especially in the job department.

  5. hmmm... strange, yes, the date is wrong! I'll look into that.

    Ashley!! I had no idea you were so close to 35! That would have been so fun!! :) But unforunately Matt is on a mission. Can't wait for our Omaha getaway though! :)

  6. Amy- yes! We are hoping to buy a house... if the price is right. It's a buyers market and we've decided to become real estate tycoons. Not really, but maybe! :)
