Leaving Biloxi...

Leaving Biloxi...
Our last day in Biloxi was designed to keep us there until the last possible minute!  A long story, but it involoved a last minute trip to the car dealer, to fix a broken window.....Here's two cuties, waiting with Dad for the car to be fixed.

Finally, however, we captured our last Biloxi sunset in our rearview mirror.  We left at 3pm, and drove to Texas.


The second night we drove to Lubbock, Texas, and visited with good friends. We also revisited some good memories of our years spent in Lubbock.  Kayla mentioned that the elementary school had shrunk! Our old house still has the best yard on the block.

The next night, we visited Grandma Lucile.  We spent a couple of nights and went to church in Las Cruces. The kids collected memories, pecans, and home made cookies from Grandma's cookie jar. We enjoyed every moment of our visit.

Finally, after four days of travelling, we drove into Tucson.  We spent our first night with the Bells, our Tucson cousins (Delwyn's sister.)  Our new home was ready for us the next day, and our boxes began arriving at around 10 am.Our old Biloxi sunsets are quite a bit different from our new sunsets--we couldn't have moved somewhere more different from the Gulf Coast if we'd tried! 


Life is good.

Love the sunset in Tucson! I love the desert though.

What different kind of moves we have. You have to drive for days. We fly (sometimes for a day.) Your household pretty much arrives with you. We wait weeks and pray the ship doesn't sink!

I am glad you made it. I am also glad I don't have to try to put a house together with a bunch of helpers to also attend to. Don't get me wrong, I love little helpers but they are - well helpers!

We miss you guys. Holland is nice though and we love it so far.

Glad you've moved a bit closer! Maybe one of these days we'll actually cross paths! ;)

So glad you made the journey safely. Enjoy settling into your new desert dwelling. If you want to keep on coming farther west, come see us, we'd love to see you. :)
