Moving Time!

It's a good thing the Air Force has trained us to be vagabond gypsies, because it is time to move again. This time, however, it was of our own accord. Since Dan left active duty, and Continental furloughed him, we decided to take up the offer of a friend to join the California Air National Guard, destination March Air Reserve Base, Riverside California. We decided to do the move ourselves, and to let the Air Force reimburse us. We stood to make more money this way, but unfortunately that money was at the expense of sweat equity as we were soon to find out. We finished packing up the house, and loading the trailer around the first couple of days in April. Here Sam stands on what was once our lives, all boxed up and ready to go.
We moved with ABF, and with the help of our good friends the Hulses, Palmers, the missionaries and our brother in law Mr. Hix we actually made it happen. It was weird to see our entire life boxed up in a trailer, but we were glad that part of the journey was over.
Sam and I flew to Utah, while Jordan and Dan drove our two cars across the country, starting in New Jersey and ending in California. While in Utah Sam was able to play with cousins, and I was able to get some much needed rest.
Here Sam and Tristan show off their matching PJs. TROUBLEMAKERS!
Much needed play time with Grandpa in the sandbox.
