We Made It!!

Well, we've finally made it to New York. We've actually been here about a week and a half, but it's taken us a while to get up and running with everything, the internet included. First, I want to say "thank you" to everyone who helped us move in any way! We could not have done it without you. Since Ben was working nights, it was mostly me and the help I recruited to pack up the house and boy that's a hard job when you're pregnant! I don't want to leave anyone out, so I won't name names...but thank you!!

Here is a pic of some of Maddie and Cam's cousins on Ben's side the day we left. How sad we won't see them for so long!

So Ben, Maddie and his nice friend, Shane, pulled out of Utah on Thursday with this big rig and our car behind it. I stayed behind to clean and was able to spend some more time with my family, while staying at my sister, Stephanie's house. I then flew out the next Monday morning (thanks to Shane I didn't have to do the long haul and got to fly with Cam--what a treat!).
Ben and Shane may have resembled a gay couple making a move together across the country, you be the judge...
Maddie did extremely well, or so I hear, on the long drive-thank goodness!
They made all sorts of stops along the way, like Notre Dame...

(Shane is single by the way, so tell your single girl friends :))

and Niagara Falls...
Palmyra...
the Smith family farm...

the Sacred Grove (and Hill Cumorah not pictured)...
and finally made it to our new home in Albany.
Here are some inside pics, obviously not put together yet...


To come are some more clean, put-together house pics. Once we do a few more things, I'll post some of that.
