We decided on our move date based on Nathan's birthday. We needed to wait for his IEP to go into effect on his birthday before we moved so that it would transfer to Colorado. If we left before Nathan's birthday, we would have to start completely from scratch. It was well worth it for us to wait after Brad's graduation before we moved.
We had so much help packing up. There were many friends from our ward and even a friend from dental school came to help us pack up. We’d like to think they were there for us, but we know it was really for the free Krispy Kremes we bribed them with. How else were we going to get people up at 8 am on a Saturday to help us move? We had a lot of help so loading up our pods was pretty quick. Then we cleaned, dropped off the keys, and headed out.
I felt a little bad that we spend Nathan’s birthday moving and
in car. He did get to have one
last play date with his buddy Russell on his birthday while we were packing
up. Then, while we were in the
car, I had wrapped some presents for Nathan to open. Nathan has recently gotten into Thomas the Train and so I got
him a set of the characters. He
was so excited to open up the new trains.
He knows all the names and loves to play with them.
It took us about 17 hours of driving time to get to
Minnesota. The kids did
surprisingly well until the about the last 2 hours. Then they were just done. We were done too.
Good thing we had Grandma and Grandpa’s house to crash at for a few days.
