and we are off...

so they day we loaded the truck was a stressful one. 
we had way more than we thought and our truck was packed to the BRIM!! 
our neighbors got to keep half of our stuff because there just was not enough room. 
i tried not to be sad about some things... but it's just stuff right. 
so we finally finished packing around 6:30. (we were thinking we would be done around 2)
our plan was to drive to Indianapolis the first night and then knock out the rest of the trip the following day. 
 Don't they look excited to be heading out. 
 Garran and my dad were in the Budget truck behind me and the kids. 
 Here was our last family picture in front of our house. 
When we moved here, we only had three kids and I was pregnant with Ayla. 
In three years we went through and accomplished a lot. 
Time sure flew by. 
 We also got a picture with our neighbors. They were so great to us while we lived there. We are surely going to miss them. The kids would go over and visit and steal cookies from their kitchen. They were great to live next door to. 
After two long days of driving we finally made it!!
I was so happy to see that North Carolina sign. 
I was ready to be out of our van for a while!!

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
