Trying to catch up

After my Mom and I went to find a home. Chris came up with his Toyota that was having problems. He drove from Vandenberg to Snowflake and dropped off the car and took the van back with him. My Dad spent so much time on fixing our car. Thank you Dad!!!!
He pulled out the transmission and fixed all the seals and got it all put back together and the thing would not go into gear. The tranny was shot. I thought I would be so happy to see that car go but when I thought it was a goner I got all emotional. That car had been with us since Alyssa was a baby. My Dad reassured me that he could find a new tranny for it. Since the car was not ready to go when we needed to leave to move to Denver my parents let us take one of their cars. My Mom and Dad came with us to help me with the kids while we moved in. It was so nice to have them with me. My Dad went around fixing odds and ends in our home and my Mom was a great help with the kids and unpacking. I was so sad to see them go. Melissa and George came to help me for a while too. Chris was not due back until the 12th of March so Grandpa got to fill in at Alyssa's achievement day activity. Grandpa got to give Alyssa a nerd hairdo it was a good one too.
The date was March 6th which was also our anniversary. A happy 11 years!!!!!! Chris sent me flowers since he was not able to be there. They were beautiful and they made me miss him even more. What a good man!!!!!
While George and Melissa were here it decided to snow. It made us feel right at home. Grandma and Grandpa were a great help and they had to leave on the 10th which was Chris' birthday. It was so nice to have them with us too.

Chris decided to drive all day on the 11th and he got here around 11pm. It was so good to see him again and to know that we were finally done with all of this separation. We kept busy for a couple of weeks trying to get the house in order and being together again. We are finally feeling settled. The only project left is the garage. YEAH!!!!!

During spring break my Dad called and said that the Toyota was ready to go. So we packed up on Thursday and headed to Snowflake to retrieve it. We could not have been happier. Thanks Dad for all of your hard work. We love you!!!! We went to the park while we were there and had a great time! Hold on Alec!

We had a lot of fun seeing family again and set on for home on Sunday. We hit snow when it started to get dark but we made it home. With the van and Toyota. Home at last!!!!!!
