On the road again

Hi everyone! I’m writing from California this morning…I am busy helping my mom pack up her house so we can move her out to Michigan. Crazy right? We have a TON of stuff left to pack before the moving company comes tomorrow….so please send prayers our way that we finish in time!

We are so sad to be leaving her beautiful house, but we know we have many fun adventures ahead of us. On Saturday some of my mom’s work friends threw her the nicest going away dinner. They had such wonderful and sweet things to say about my mom…it was SO cute! We also had a family going away party yesterday and it was so nice to see everyone.

My mom and I will be driving across the country on Wednesday, so wish us luck! We are traveling with her dog and cat…so there are sure to be some interesting adventures in store for us. I fully plan to share all the fun moments on the blog…so stay tuned!

    What a bittersweet day I'm sure! So exciting that your mom is moving closer to you all but I know that house must be filled with so many wonderful memories! Drive safe!

    Oh gosh, I've done the whole drive across the country with a dog and a cat before–it's harrowing, for sure! Word of advice: make sure your windows are LOCKED in the car. Otherwise, you may stop to get gas and the cat will climb onto the armrest, step on the window control, and roll the window down. And you will find her sprinting across the gas station.

    Not that I know this from personal experience or anything 😉

    Good luck!!
