We are moved!!!

So, this will be a quick post...WE FINALLY MADE IT...I say it that way because Monday was our moving day and we were to leave at 8:30...Chris went to start the moving truck and it wouldn't start...come to find out it wasn't starting because it was SO cold 3 degrees and our engine was a diesel...so the lines were frozen and the battery was dying from us trying to start it so many times.
Anyway, a mainetence guy came out from our rental company (he didn't get there until 1:30.) We finally got on the road then about 2:00 and got into Cleveland at 12:30am. We had great weather the whole trip but got into Mentor (Chris's parent's hometown) to see they got about 8 inches of snow (yippie) but this would be crazy to try and unload in. Yes, that night the plan was to still unload at his mom and dad's and then to the storage unit! His parents are in TN for Christmas...we had the help though of our wonderful friends and lead minister at Velocity came to help! We couldn't have done it without them! Chris finally got to bed at 3am but I was already in bed (taking care of this little one growing inside of me).
We were to be to my parents Tuesday (3 hrs. away from Cleveland) and didn't know if we had the stregth to get up and drive again...so we played it by ear. We decided we were rested up enough to make the trip to we left at 2pm and made it for dinner!!
So, we are to our final destination and can finally enjoy this time of year!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Thank you for your prayers!
