Hope's Hotel

Our last morning in Carolina was filled with ward members and friends helping squeeze every last possession we own into a U-Haul. Benson, Talie, Dallin, Ron, Scott, Bart, Hailey, and John Knight piled in the caravan of vehicles and pulled out about 12:30pm. Trish and I did one final walk through and locked the doors to our Carolina home. Then we went shopping, ordered Chinese and watched "The Break UP" at the Hope Hotel. This was Ashy's first sleepover with Abby. As you can tell, they had a blast!



Trish took Ashlynn, Peyton and Big 'Ol me to the airport to catch our plane to Denver. We made it to the airport and both burst into tears. I think my eyes were finally dry when I loaded the plane, but then I happened to find a book with a picture, letter, and poems that she had slipped into my carry on bag - what a mean trick! And it started all over again. So the crazy, way pregnant lady with two kids did make it, through the entire move and airplane ride, to Denver, without going into labor! Thank goodness for a Heavenly Father who watches over us and answers prayers!
