Good Times (Continued - see last post)

Saying Goodbye to Logan...

This was not an easy thing to do. As many of you know we had to say good-bye to our family and friends that we love dearly and will miss greatly. We had to say good-bye to our beautiful Cache Valley and home that has provided joy, safety and comfort to our family for years. It is the only home most of our children know. We had to say good-bye to our good employer and co-workers that we have spent so much time with over the last 8 1/2 years. In a large sense it is a closing to this chapter in our lives... which is where the title of our blog comes in... "Faith in Every Footstep."

As we begin this new chapter in our lives we are walking by faith, knowing that the Lord is guiding our way. I don't know why we are here or what we are supposed to be doing, I just know that it is right. So with faith and a prayer we left our comfort and security to journey half way across the country with 5 little children, a house that is not sold, a new apartment we found on the internet, and no job. Some people think we are crazy, but I have never been more sure of anything in my life. I know that we are being "instruments in the Lord's hands" and that only time will tell.

So with that said, here are the highlights of our journey into the "wilderness."

Saying Good-bye to our house... it seems so sad
when it's all empty. We all cried.


Our last night at a great job. Thanks for all the
good memories we made.

Leaving Cache Valley...
we will miss the gorgeous mountains.

Somewhere across "Big Wyoming"
A VERY windy reststop somewhere in WY.
Our first hotel... or motel rather.
North Platte, NE
Rest stop somewhere in Nebraska or Iowa???
Something interesting to look at...
2nd Night... I'm not much of a Motel 6 kinda girl...
3 Bed Suite at Hampton Inn was more my style... ;)
Sioux City, Iowa
Missed the "Welcome to Minnesota" sign
because of a road detour...
But we made it to Grandpa Doug's house!
Didn't waste any time...
Uncle and Cousins

After the BBQ at grandpa's house we headed to our new home.
