Point Ahhhrrrrggggg to Point $

It's about time I give my wife credit for the best Christmas present I've ever been given:


That's right. A fully packed moving truck! I didn't really believe it myself at first. When I got back from Philly on the 23rd, Jenny opened the door to an empty garage, and I was a little confused. I thought that maybe she'd had some help in giving me a head start on the great packing project. But no! She had arranged for the entire house to be packed up, ready to go!
I was flabbergasted and overjoyed. How will I ever top this? Maybe by settling down in one place for longer than 3 years? Maybe.........

On December 27th, 2008, we finished packing our things, loaded up the minivan and headed east. We didn't really know what to expect, other than 36 + long hours of driving with our children strapped in their seats. Besides some vicious winds in the middle of Wyoming (not that surprising, right?) we had smooth sailing all the way. Our kids only asked if we were there yet a few times, and were very well behaved and in good spirits almost the entire trip. Even baby Tabetha was good natured about being strapped into place for extended periods of time.
We didn't take enough pics to document this strange phenomenon (blessing from the Lord) but here's at least a shred of evidence:
