3-2-1 LAUNCH!

After 10 months of planning, thousands of dollars spent, several delays and many prayers answered- Launch Day finally arrived!

We pulled out of Grandma’s house and went back to our neighborhood to pack away some final items and say goodbye to our neighbors. Since school gets out early on Fridays, we went by their school to formally withdraw the kids and say goodbye to their friends.

We should’ve been out by early afternoon, but we had some lat minute items to buy at Costco and Ikea, and then we were on our way.

We made it as far as Elko, Nevada on our first night. 4 hours seemed like enough ground to cover on our first adventure out, and got us past the snow storm that was headed to Salt Lake.  Besides, in the morning we were hoping to go visit some friends who own a cattle ranch in Ruby Valley.  I think the kids will enjoy the animals and seeing how other kids live in different parts of the country.

I still have to pinch myself to make sure this is real… we are really doing this?!
