The Big Move!


For all of those who do not know yet, we were scheduled to move to Fort Hood, Tx, and a week before the big move the army told us that we were moving to Fort Campbell, Ky. So it was a nice stressful time changing all of our plans with in the few days.

Also the week we were moving a nice funny/horrible story happened, Luke was destroying our personal records in the grill in the backyard one day we were packing. Later that day we decided to give our grill to our neighbors, so Luke emptied the pile of charcoal and paper from the grill into our city garbage can. Do know that it was not lite at the time. Much later that night we decided to run to the store for cleaning supplies, Luke noticed as we were leaving that the trash can was smoking, so he drowned the trash can with water, and put it in the backyard. As we were shopping at Target we got a call from our neighbor asking if we were home, and told us that our backyard was on fire. In conclusion to this nightmare of a story, we came home to a some nice firemen who had just put out the fire in our backyard. What happened was the trash can was on fire and melted completely to the ground. Put a nice whole in the backyard. Awful!!!! If Luke did not put the trash can in the backyard then our whole house would of ended up in flames. What a blessing that was.

Anyways, the move went really well. We moved a whole 3 hours away. Stayed in a stinky hotel for 3-4 nights. Was lucky enough to find a home rather quickly. It is a nice 3 bedroom / 2 Bathroom townhome. For those of you who don't know, Fort Campbell is right on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee. So we live on the Tennessee side. It is a different place for us. And it is going to take a little bit for us to get used too.

Luke has been off of work for the last 2 1/2 weeks. Which Eli and I have really enjoyed having him around teasing us all the time. In the end, it was a very Stressful but Successful move.

We had the dogs with us the whole time. Including the litter of puppies Bailey just had, a whopping "6" puppies. Which we did have to carry all of them around with us house hunting, since the hotel said we could not leave them there. Blah!!!


Eli was really good the whole time. This was right before his nap time. Luke had to " Clear Out" of Redstone Arsenal, so we had to sit and wait in the truck for an hour and a half.
