30 Hour Road Trip...Statesboro here we come!

Packed to the brim!
Makin baby as comfortable as possible :)

We crossed many states lines~ We missed a photos of a few due to the location they were in (way too close to traffic)...

In a small town in Nebraska. Nebraska is filled with many corn fields.. Very pretty!

I wanted to get to Statesboro as quick as possible~Jordan wanted to stop and sitesee...

I think Tori was sleeping so she didn't get in many of the state line photos.

Jordan loves Superman and so we had to stop in Metropolis and see the big statue despite my hesitation...I guess I owed her :)

Not sure what was up with my camera but I didnt get one good photo of Tennesse!

Never stay at the cheepest motel!!! We saw at least two cockroaches~ Ya I didn't sleep much...they finally got some sleep as I packed the truck. We were almost there!!

Tori and Her Daddy~ After 2 whole months. SO SO Nice!

Helping us unpack into our new little home :)

It has almost been 1 month since we made this journey.

For all of you that don't already know we drove 30 hours to Statesboro GA to be with Justin while he is working on the pipeline.

Also for those of you who know how much I hate to drive and the fact that I usually fall asleep in the car about 10 min. into the trip, will find the fact that I made it unbelievable.

I have to say that Torrance was the best baby. She got a little fussy but did great considering we left Evanston on a Wednesday morning and got to Statesboro Friday late afternoon.

One big plus was that I had Jordan (my sis. in law) there to help drive, entertian Tori and keep me awake. I don't think I could have made it with out her, especially having Tori, Gizmo and all our stuff!

Now, I miss all my family and friends but I have to say so far this has been an amazing little adventure! We have already seen so many new places...the beach being one of my favorite! But most of all we are all together again...and that is what matters most. Hope to see everyone soon!!

The BIG move... Leaving St. George and heading to Evanston

OH does Tori love Dip in Dots!

Packing the U-Haul....Thanks mom and dad!!!!

What a mess~ Our house in St. G

Helping mom pack...It was only the beginning!

Moving is never fun!!! But we got through it. Justin was at work and couldn't help so I packed a little of our house each day for about 3 weeks before the acutal move. My parents and sister(Mel) were lifesavers and came down to St. George and helped me pack up the moving truck. Even better was that my dad drove the U-haul back to Evanston (I was so nervous that I would have to do it). After two days of packing the truck we headed home.

Once in E-town we unpacked all of our stuff into a huge storage shed. I was sad to leave so much behind but excited for our next adventure (the move to Georgia). Once all the unpacking was done we enjoyed our 2 weeks of being in E-town and around family. We went to star valley, and enjoyed the family reunion (as you have seen prev.).

I plan to post our long journey to Georgia soon :)

George Family Reunion...

Our Family Reunion was a blast....

• Started with Ranell, Capri, Tori and I going to see our grandparents in Star Valley (we only stayed one night but it was great to catch up)!
• On the 7th of August we had an amazing Dutch Oven dinner in my parents backyard. My favorite Madrin Chicken, salads, melon, and best of all Carmel Apple Desert (which I couldn't even eat cause I ate too much chicken).
• The next day we got up early and headed to Bear Lake. Our Plan was to go to the Minitonka (I am sure it's spelled incorrectly) Caves and then to the lake. It was so cold, cloudy and rainy that we went home after the caves.
• I had such a great time despite the horrible weekend weather and loved haning with my family.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Busy Busy Busy

So I don't even know where to start. It has been a long and entertaining few weeks. We got all our stuff moved up to Evanston and put into storage. I drove to Star Valley to see my grandparents, went to Lyman to see Justins family and had an amazing time at the George Reunion (even though we didn't make it to Bear Lake due to the sudden chill in the weather). I also have had a few days to relax and hang with Justin's mom and sister and all my fam.
Yesterday I was sick and so was Tori. Oh boy has it been rough. I have never seen that little girl cry that much in the entire 8 months that she has been with us! It has been so sad to see such a mellow happy-go-lucky girl be so miseralbe. I am now better and she seems to be improving. I just hope we both feel better by wednesday.
Wednesday is the Big Day! We are driving the long 30 hour drive to Georgia. NOT excited for that but SOOO excited to be with my hubby. It has been over two months since we have seen him. It has been very hard for us and I am sure even harder for him. We hope to be there by saturday or possilby friday. I cant wait to experience that part of the country. There is an amazing journey ahead for us and I can't wait to share it with everyone!!
I will post pics from this past month once we get settled in Georgia!

July 4th

Ok ok...I def. have not been on top of the blogging thing lately. This was from the 4th of July. I have been waiting to post pics because I just got photo shop and wanted to do some cool things. Unfortunately I just havent had the time. cccccccccccc(thanks 4 ur imput tori) Anyways..the 4th was fun but we did miss the usual fireworks display and most of all we missed Justin! I will try to do posting more often but for now its short and sweet and to the point. Mainly pics because I know thats what i mainly look at when I do my blog checks :)

Father's Day

It was Justin's first Fathers Day this year. I know he is so happy to be a daddy and wishes he could be here with his precious little Torrance. It's so sweet how he talks to her over the phone. Even though she tries to put the phone in her mouth when I give it to her I know she recognizes his voice. I usually try to send him a photo or two daily and sometimes I will send him video. This is Tori talkin to her dad...it's a little dark(due to the cell phone) but I love it!

......................................................................................................................................
Torrance posing for daddy on Father's Day~

I think she is just such an addorable little/chunky girl. I put her in this outfit because...1- It finally fit her, 2-I love frogs and the color green and 3-Her daddy baught it for her and I knew this pic would be special.

So Yay for Father's Day and all the daddies out there!!! Justin...Your baby loves you and so do I. We both know you would do anything for us and you definately deserve a special day ment just for YOU!!

Our 2 year anniversary and Tori's 6 month B-day~

So Beautiful. Thank you Justy..

Torrance Sue @ 6 months.

Mommy and Tori on June 9th, 2009-Missing Daddy!


Wow...I can not believe Justin and I have been married 2 years. It doesn't feel that long at all. Justin and I have been together for a total of 8 1/1 years. It feels like a long time but it the grand scheme of things its only a second. We are so happy how our lives have been going so far and cant wait for all our new adventures as a family!!! My grandparents just had their 50th wedding anniversary on June 7th and my parents had their 26th anniversary on June 4th(I think...) I just hope we can stay as happy as they have been so far!!

Our Torrance Sue turned 6 months old on June 9th. She has been our greatest joy to date!! She is growing like a weed and at times I just want her to stop. Other times I just can't wait to see what she will do next (crawl, walk, her 1st words). I am just so great full to have the family that I do and all the love and support that we have from all those around us.

JUNE 9TH WILL ALWAYS BE A SPECIAL DAY!
