It all started three weeks ago.....my husband passed his insurance licensing exam to allow him to work for a company in Florida....that next week, he put in his notice with his company....and so the journey began!!
Everything was falling into place...we rented a house, sold our second vehicle to finance the trip, and so many more things to "perfect" to name it all. We hurried to pack our house and rent a U-Haul in order to get to Florida and start the newest chapter in the Farmer Family Saga :) circa 07/23/2011.
Well, the trip started off a little hurried....we underestimated the amount of things we had in getting the correct size of a U-Haul. So, we ended up adding a trailer to our U-Haul and still leaving somethings behind for our in-laws to pick up, moving 6 people halfway across the country is much more daunting than I realized! We got a semi-decent rest (Midnight to a 5am wake up time), and were off early the next morning.
The trip went relatively well, I was surprised that it was as easy going as it was. We had a mini-crisis the first day, we realized that we left behind Bella's Bunnies (my two year old LOVES her bunnies....stuffed, not real). She was so upset, and refused to sleep....so about Oklahoma City, being the good Mom that I am, I pulled into the mall and RAN in to get her a brand new one!! Within minutes, Bella was sleeping so peacefully!!
The rest of the trip was relatively uneventful...We stopped quite often to allow the girls to take potty breaks, eat, and occasionally, just walk around. I know, BOOOORRRINGGGG.....no screaming kids, no epic car failures, nothing overly interesting...BUT it was GREAT to be so bland!! That was....until we made it to the hotel room!!!!
