I just can't express how much we will miss that group of people! They accepted us into their group so quickly, and became a big part of our lives in Texas.
Friday night, I finished up the last bit of packing I needed to do, loaded the van, and Tom and I turned in early since I was getting up so early the next morning.
These photos were all taken by Miranda with her iTouch while we were driving.
At 4AM, I got up and got the girls ready to go. We told Tom goodbye and headed out around 4:30AM. He is staying behind another week until the movers arrive to get our stuff.

Once we got to the plateau in Crossville, TN, we saw a lot of snow. There were about 2 inches on the grassy areas, but none on the roads. We also saw the temperature steadily drop the whole drive.
We got to Tom's parents around 7:30 and were greeted by some VERY happy cousins. The kids have been hanging out and goofing off ever since.
It is a little surreal being back, and knowing we aren't headed back to Texas in a week or so. It kind of feels like we've just been on an EXTREMELY long vacation.
We will just kind of hang out here this week. By Wednesday or Thursday, I should have the keys to our new house and will begin the planning of furniture placement. I hope to have it mostly figured out before the moving truck gets here. I'll be glad to start getting settled in next week.
