Many of you know that Matt was getting ready to deploy. This meant many changes for both him and for our family. One of which was Madilyn and I returning home to Arizona to live with my parents while he is away. We also decided to move out of our home, put everything into storage, and save some extra money during this time.
Packing up the whole house with a toddler is no easy task! Thankfully, my sister, Brianna, was able to come out to Oklahoma for almost a month to help out with packing and with Madilyn. Matt's parents were also able to join us in the few days before Matt's departure to help with the final packing, loading, and unloading of all the goods into storage. We are so thankful for every one of you!!!!!
During this process we had to spend a few nights in hotels before leaving town. This was pretty rough on Madilyn! We had our final move out inspection on Monday and left for New Mexico from there. We arrive in Albuquerque around 6pm and met up with our friend Adam and his girlfriend Katie for dinner (Thanks again for hosting us!). From there it was on to one more hotel. Madilyn had a rough night, but finally went down around midnight and slept until about 630. We grabbed some breakfast and gathered our things.......back on the road again. The second day was a bit rougher than the first as Madilyn was becoming more and more impatient with all these hours spent in the car! Thank goodness for our DVD player and snacks!!!!
We made it home to Phoenix Tuesday evening and are settling in. Madilyn is doing much better now that she is back on her routine and has lots of room to run, play, and SWIM!
Since I haven't put any pictures up in a while, here is one of the Little Miss playing this morning :) She'll be 15 months on Sunday!
