CRAZINESS!!!!!!!!!

Ever since we had Emily, life has been crazy!!! We are so glad Emily has been a great baby girl and that Trevor has been forgiving to us.
The day we had Emily Ryan accepted a job...in Alaska.
Ryan finished finals.
Ryan graduated
Brother Ryan and sister Christine graduated
Family was in town to celebrate
I stayed home with Emily
Almost went over our minutes for the first time on cell phones
called everyone who knows anything about Alaska
called to every moving company
tried to get cheapest rates to get to Alaska
Started packing our belongings
try to decide what to sell, what to take
Family came again to help us move
I still couldn't lift/help much so everyone pitched in a ton! THANK YOU
Packed, cleaned apartment
waited for new stroller to arrive then we could leave
Made trip home to Washington state
Stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Stephens
Trevor loves to play with dog and cousin Peyton
Went to sisters wedding in Portland Oregon
Had more family in town for Emily's blessing
We love our families!!!!
Hard to say goodbye to them.
Ryan, and Grandpa's tried to catch Ferry to Alaska with our belongings and van
Ferry broke down due to mechanical problems before they could get on
Next Ferry was full
Had a few more days with Daddy/Husband
Ryan had to fly to work last minute
Ryan's flight delayed due to mechanical problems
Ryan ran to catch connecting flight
Ryan finally made it to Juneau, AK
Me and the kids now staying at the G-ma and G-pa Hendricks
Love being around our families
Missing Daddy/Husband
Will fly out June 2nd to be with him
Grandpa's will get on Ferry June 3rd - pray it won't have "mechanical problems"
Will move into new place as soon as they get there - June 6th
Can hopefully settle down------finally

Once I have pictures of everything on our computer then I'll get them up.
We're excited for our new adventures at our new home and are so grateful for all the help and sacrifices others have made to help us along the way. We love you all!

Wow! I'm feel exhausted just reading that! Good luck with the rest of the move - hopefully everything else goes smoothly. For your flight up, if you have time to kill in Seattle there's a nice play area for toddlers on the way to the A wing. There's room for strollers, luggage and it's right next to a big family bathroom too. A real lifesaver when you got kids wit you. Good luck!

Wow, wow!! I hope everything goes smooth for you. Sounds like it's been a little crazy (to say the least) around your place. Congrats on the new job!
