We finally made it to MN! The movers came to our apartment on 1/19/09 to pack and move all of our things- we have decided that that is definitely the way to go! They were so quick and efficient... it only took them 4 hours to pack and move all of our things! We slept on the floor that night and then hit the road at 4am 1/20 to beat rush hour traffic. We were worried about winter storms but ended up having perfect weather all the way home. Ginger did great the whole trip and quickly made herself at home in our new house. We spent the first night of our trip (1/20) in Salt Lake City, UT, the second night (1/21) in Lincoln, NE, and the third night (1/22) in our home in Rochester. We stopped in Des Moines, IA to have lunch with Rachel's sister, Valerie on the final day of our drive.
Since arriving in Rochester, we have been busy getting everything organized. We are renting a cute little 5bed/2bath house in NE Rochester and are enjoying it so far. Our stuff arrived on Tuesday 1/27 and luckily everything made it safe and sound. Everything is finally unpacked and put away and things are starting to feel "normal". We bought a second vehicle- a '99 Pontiac Montana (minivan)- now we just need to fill it with children! Rachel starts her new job on 2/16, and Adam is still searching for one. We hope and pray he finds one quick. Wish us luck!

By the time we were done unpacking, the stack of tissue they packed with was taller than Rachel!
