Moving Day

Hello from Albuquerque, New Mexico! We began our trip back to Colorado yesterday, and we will be arriving back in Colorado tomorrow. In an attempt to make the trip easier, Sarah and Abby flew to Albuquerque and I made the trip by car there. The drive from Tucson was extremely windy and dusty.  Apparently the Interstate between Lordsburg, NM and Las Cruces was closed because of dust-storms after I had come through. Last night we stayed with Sarah’s Aunt Ginny, Uncle John, and cousins Eileen, Heidi, and Lindi. Packing the car to get here was a real adventure. I should learn that it is unwise to trust U-Haul. I had made a reservation for U-Haul a month beforehand and on Monday I got a call informing me that there was not going to be a trailer available. . . so much for reservations. My dad and I started working on alternatives, and we settled on a roof-top carrier made by Thule. It is canvas and we were able to put in two big suitcases and some bags of clothes. This leaves room from Abby’s stuff! Tomorrow’s drive will be 5 1/2 hours.  Back to class on the first week of June with a new baby in tow!
