It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks!
Here's a recap...
May 8th - Graham left to work for a month in FL
May 24th - Graham accepts a position in Sacramento, CA
May 28th - We list our home in Shakopee
June 6th - Sean's last day of school
June 10th - Graham returns form FL just in time to help pack for our move
June 11th - We accept an offer on our home
(and now we pray that everything goes smoothly)
June 15th - Some of our best friends move to Michigan for Residency
June 17th - We load our Uhaul and try to squeeze everything in...not possible
June 18th - Graham and I begin our drive at 5am,
the plan was to drive half way and get a room for the night.
We made it!! But the 3 1/2 star hotel was DISGUSTING!!
We DO NOT recommend stopping at the Days Inn in Rawlins, WY...Keep driving...
June 19th - We roll into Sacramento around 8pm Pacific Time.
We find our hotel...Marriott...MUCH nicer!! Shower and go out for a late dinner.
June 20th - Unload the Uhaul into our storage unit and return the truck,
so thankful to be turning it in undamaged :)
Then we head to his Residency Office and meet some great people.
June 21st - We get up and are excited to go "house hunting" with our realtor,
only to have our bubble burst by the housing market down there.
Our plans change and we immediately begin searching for short term rentals.
We found a great spot that reminds us a lot of Kavanaugh's in Brainerd!
We were thrilled to learn that we could move in the following day, so...
June 22nd - We rent the Uhaul AGAIN, and we load the Uhaul AGAIN.
We unload the Uhaul AGAIN, and begin the big job of unpacking.
We got our bedroom and the kitchen put together,
and then decided to stop and go out for a date :)
June 23rd - I flew home to MN to be with my boys.
Bittersweet, as I was so sad to leave Graham, but so excited to see my boys.
June 24th - Graham begins Residency :)
It is all worth it, and I am so excited to begin this next journey together as a family.
The boys and I are hanging around Mankato waiting for the arrival of my new niece or nephew!
Can't wait to snuggle the new little babe :)
Can't wait to snuggle with my hubby...just a few more weeks...
Thanks for all your support!
Remember, California is a beautiful place to visit!
I have been told more than once, that once you go to Cali, you never want to leave...
