Packing & Moving

Tuesday, May 31st we packed a moving truck & our mini van with all of our belongings.  We then headed from Minnesota to Iowa to store what we wouldn't be bringing to Pennsylvania at my(Courtney's) parent's house.  Thursday, June 2nd we started the drive to Bethel Park, PA.  We drove from Calamus, IA to Dayton, OH.  It was a 7 1/2 hour drive and we only stopped twice before arriving at our hotel for the night.  On the 3rd we drove the remaining 4 hours from Dayton, OH to Bethel Park, PA.  Jacobi was a great traveler...he only had one melt-down the entire trip!

Below you can see a progression of the packing/moving process.  We are thankful to be settled into our new home and will post pictures if it soon.

  1. I was wondering how Jacobi did on the trip and we were praying that he would travel well. Sounds like everyone's prayers were answered :) Your house looks really nice!

  2. Yes, we were very thankful for how well he did. The 2nd day was the shorter of the two and he did have one melt-down but once we stopped and got him out of his carseat for a few minutes he was fine. Thanks for your prayers! We are enjoying our house...as you know it is a nice change from the boys dorm apartment;)
