The Big Move

We have known pretty much for the past 2 years that we would be moving to Kansas in the summer of 2012. It's crazy to think that after talking about something for so long, it can just suddenly be upon you. We put our house on the market in early December and 2 months later it sold! We knew for sure that this was the Lord's doing and we felt that we were obviously following in His plan. With that being said, we needed a place to live so that Jarrett could finish the school year. So my gracious and wonderful parents allowed us to live with them for our last 3 months in Texas!

Our house closed right before Spring Break, and God's timing could not have been better. We were able to take all of that week and get our stuff moved to Kansas. For the time being, we are renting a house on the farm from Jarrett's cousins. Thus began our week of moving 3 houses! We packed up our house in Texas. We had to pack up the house we will be living in and move everything to the unfinished part of the basement. And then we had to unload our whole life into our new home.

Needless to say..we needed help! And again the Colburns stepped up in a big way. It was one of the most exhausting weeks of my life--but we were so thrilled that we got it all done and could head back to Texas with a peace about where God had placed us.

The beginning....it got so much bigger than this...oh my...

Aaron put on his work over-alls and wanted to get in on the action!

 We LOVED our first home and even though we are excited about our new adventure, we will miss our first home tremendously. This was our last time to be at our house as a family :(

Aaron loves a dolly. He wanted to push it all day long!



Putting him to work!

When we got to Kansas we had a ton of work to do. The home that we are renting had not been touched in about 6 years! There was tons of dust, dirt and dead bugs....GROSS! My Mom and I pride ourselves on being indoor princess type girls...but we got down and dirty and got the job done!

This is the living room of our new temporary home. It took 2 days to clean out the furniture and things that were here. Then we were able to load our things in...and this is what it looked like a couple of days later....

 After all of the hard work we decided to take Aaron for a ride in Daddy's new company car (a big blue pick-up truck)! We decided to visit our new neighbors....

I wish these people would be our new neighbors too!

 Love them SO much! So grateful for all of their help during this crazy time! We are truly blessed by their generous spirit and we don't know what we would do without them!

We love Grammy and Grandpa!
