the move begins

May 14th 2008 the journey across north america begins. It all starts with a quick awards ceremony, picking up of personnel files, signing out of the Last Frontier, drawing some canadian monopoly money, and hitting the road. It was early afternoon when the drive began. Both kids and dog nestled into their respected areas, playing with their new toys for the trip and the van pointed North. Only minutes into the drive Cora sounds off with, "are we there yet?". Yeah, it was like that. Even though we filled up and left on this day...our departure actually started in the days leading up to it. Our friends...nevermind that...our Alaskan Family said their "c-ya laters", helped us pack, helped us clean, and refused to make eye contact as they drove away from galloway loop. It was hard, it is still hard...we left some of our closest friends Anna and I, Cora and Mia have ever been blessed with. For that we are greatful, and to you all...we already miss you and thank you dearly! May the trip BEGIN!!!!
