Since we got to NC




More pictures of our 3 day adventure





Pictures of the Trip





Rockin' North Carolina!!!

We have made it safe to North Carolina and officially have our house in order. We are enjoying it alot, but there are a lot of little things around the house that needs fixed our painted(due to style differences) or the outside yard work or just simply hanging up pictures.

The drive was LONG and when I say long I mean almost 40 hours in the Penske truck and with 5 dogs and kids!! I must say right now though that my kids were the Best that I have ever seen them!!! They didnt whine to much and they actually were pretty excited to cross the different states!!! We crossed 12 of them. We started in Idaho saying our Goodbyes in New Plymouth with my family and then went up to Twin Falls for a few days and got to see Codys family and have a few more goodbyes. Then my dad drove the Penske truck and the Herrmann crew rode in the van. He met us in Twin and we crossed Utah, Wyoming and stopped in Nebraska for the night. The next morning we got up bright and early and crossed Iowa, Missouri, Kansas(only the border though) stopped in Illinois. Then the 3rd morning we went to Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia, and then to our Home state of North Carolina..... That day with the heat index it was 120 degrees....Super hot and HUMID!!! It has been 2 weeks since we have moved here and it is humid everyday but 1 that I could enjoy!!! The thunderstorms here are alot bigger in NC and when it rains, it sure does POUR!!!

The kids are registered for school and they are excited about starting. The first weekend of August is no tax weekend in NC so everyone does their school shopping, it just so happened to be the weekend that we decided to check out the mall!!! Cody wasnt happy because the mall was like Walmart on Black Friday!!! and He doesnt do shopping on Black Friday....lol....I of course didnt mind it and neither did Katelyn!!! We did get some awesome deals and Cody verified again that he was not going shopping on BF with me again this year!!!

Cody is doing great at his job here and adjusting well!!! They have him on some new projects which he is enjoying!! He has sure come along way in this company and we are so proud of him and all that he has accomplished!!

As for me I am getting my directions figured out and have now made it to most stores without my GPS. I am really proud of how far I have come in the last 2 weeks.. I have accomplished alot in and out of the house and I can not wait to get the kids in school and start Zumba at the YMCA!!! The hardest thing for me is that Bryce will be in kindergarten all day and it is everyday!! He will do great though and I am excited to help in the classrooms....

I know that I am carrying on in this post so my next few post will be of just pictures!!! Hope you all are having a great end of the summer vacation!!!
