Moving to Albuquerque

We had quite the adventure moving to Albuquerque! My wonderful parents helped us so much. My mom gave us buddy passes to fly the kids and I out and my Dad flew out to help pack up and drive with Art.
So with the car somewhat packed and house somewhat clean we got dropped off at the airport, soon to find out their were no open flights out of Ft. Meyer that day. They suggested renting a car to Tampa and flying out of there. So we did. We ran to the car rental, rented a car and drove up to Tampa to catch a flight.
Here are the kids in our van rental, so nice to drive a van, the kids loved it.

Here we are finally on the airplane.

Waiting for our next flight to Albuquerque.

Finally in Albuquerque, Telia and kiddos where there to greet us, we loved seeing them and the kids loved seeing their cousins. However the fun did not end here. We got a call from Art saying the car did not make it, they were in Amarillo Texas and the car died. So the kids and I left early the next day in my Dad's truck to go and pick them up and all of our stuff.On our way to rescue the boys, 5 hour drive one way.

The kids had fun playing with all our stuff strewn all over this ghetto hotel they stayed in.


Such wonderful kids and family, making the most of our adventure. It was all a blessing in the end. We left our car there and Art drove back with a car trailer to bring it home, on his way home towing the car some teenager rear ended the car on the trailer. The insurance claimed it as totaled and we got enough money to buy a van. So in the end we got a Van which has been heaven for me. Good things come to those who wait. And have crazy moving adventures.
