It was also the hardest trip I've ever had to make. I knew saying goodbye to my family and friends was going to be hard but I never dreamed it would have been as hard as it was. I don't know how many times between Texarkana and Shreveport that I wanted to turn around and go back to the only home I've ever known. I cried, I prayed, this is honestly the hardest thing I have ever done.
Once I made it out of Shreveport, and out of anything familiar to me, it got better. It was really need watching the landscape change from state to state. The kids thought the Mississippi river, and the bridge we crossed it on, was AMAZING! We passed farms in Alabama and my youngest told me how he is going to be a farmer when he's a grown up, he made sure to stress the fact that he didn't have time to be a farmer right now. Being 4 takes up so much time you know! I was pretty awesome driving past Olympic Village in Atlanta, GA. Driving in Atlanta isn't a pleasant experience, I feel almost invincible now! Driving in 6 lanes of traffic while it's raining off and on, lightening EVERYWHERE, yea like I said, INVINCIBLE!
By the time we crossed over into South Carolina we were running on fumes. I've never been so exhausted. The kids were fighting with each other, the cats were waking up, it was terrible!!
Everyone was happy to be in our hotel room. The cats were THRILLED to be out of their crates and have a space to terrorize. The kids wanted a soft bed about as much as we did.
So thankful to everyone for the prayers for safe travels, we couldn't have asked for a smoother trip. Now the count down begins till move in day!
