Back to the great Garden State

Well we are officialy in New Jersey now. I do not have any pictures to post yet, but will try and get them ready for next time.

It has been a pretty crazy few weeks and we are so grateful to all be back together in one place now. After we found out that we would be moving we started planning and trying to figure out the best way to make this move. It seems that no matter how much we planned, anything we decided changed shortly after :). But it has all worked out in the end and I think everything has gone pretty smooth for a cross country move.

We were trying to find a place to live that was within about 30mins of my office. I was hoping to keep it under 30mins but we ended up going with a place in Belle Mead which is about a 35 min drive (without traffic). There are great schools in this area and we have so many friends in the area that I think it will be the perfect place for us.

This past month I have been in a hotel for almost 3 weeks, which has been kind of nice hehe but it will be really nice to have a place I can call home.

If you want to know the craziness of how we got everyone out here. This is the breakdown:

Sunday Jan 17th my Mom flew out to Austin
Monday Jan 18th my Mom,Caitlin and I start the drive to NJ
Wednesday Jan 20th arrive in NJ around 3am, my first day back at work and Kels and Annalise come out from Ohio :)
Saturday Jan 23rd Kels, Mom, Anna and Caitlin go back to Ohio/Kentucky
Sunday Jan 24th - Friday Jan 29th I work and search for a house for the week
Friday Jan 29th Ty and Mantha fly out (all by themselves)and JC starts driving out
Saturday Jan 30th I drive about 500 miles round trip to meet Kelsey somewhere in PA to pick up Caitlin and we are now almost all back together -1
Sunday Jan 31st JC arrives in NJ

We were finally all together again and for this past week we have been waiting to hear back from the places we applied to live and waiting for our stuff to arrive. We heard back from two places, one in Branchburg, NJ and one in Belle Mead, NJ. We decided to go with the place in Belle Mead and all of our stuff will be arrive on Monday.

So the big move in day is coming soon. I am excited to get the kids registered for school this week and hope they are happy with their new school and friends. The kids are pretty excited about all the snow here and we are going to try and make some time to get out and play in this crazy white stuff.

I will post some pictures soon. Not sure when we will have internet hooked up at the new place but hopefully soon :)
