We made it!!!

Well, I can happily say that we safely made it to South Carolina without the baby wanting to come early. It wasn't a fun few days, but we survived. On New Year's, we drove back to Utah from Colorado so I could work the next day (so we'd have insurance in January). That night, we headed right back to Colorado to start our 3 1/2 day trip to South Carolina. We were blessed with great weather--no snow. I was afraid of being really uncomfortable sitting in a car for so long, but it wasn't that bad. We had a pretty smooth trip. It's crazy that we're here already and the baby could come any day now. We've anticipated this time for so long, it's weird that it's actually here.

Beth and Eric came over to say goodbye before we left. As you can see, Beth was pretty broken up about us leaving.

Thankfully, we had movers pack everything up for us. I left for work in the morning and when I got back, everything was done. That's the way to do it.

We cleaned the apartment the next day and were officially moved out. Skigh always enjoys cleaning--especially the bathroom. You can tell he's having a great time.

Skigh's sister, Quinta, graciously helped us out with the cleaning.

Final goodbye to our very first apartment as a married couple:

Saying goodbye to my boss, Cliff.

A final goodbye to Skigh's lab.

On the road.... The first day of our trip was the most beautiful. We drove through Colorado and got to enjoy the Rocky Mountains one last time. We saw quite a few ski slopes on the way.

It took us about 30 hours to get to Greenville. It was kind of fun to drive through so many major cities on the way. We went through Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Nashville, and Knoxville. Last Saturday night, we finally made it to Greenville! Our first couple of days in Greenville were beautiful: sunny and 70s. We ate lunch at Falls Park with a couple we know. It was so beautiful.

On Wednesday, all of our belongings finally arrived. I couldn't believe how huge the semi was. No, it is not carrying only our stuff.

We had 140 boxes...uhhh.... Too many.

We've spent the past few days cleaning and unpacking. It is taking FOREVER! Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with how much I need to do, I just sit on my bed, doing nothing but thinking about how much I have to do, getting more stressed out every minute. It's a healthy way to handle stress. We're getting close to being done. We have cable and Internet hooked up, so we're connected to the world again. We purchased our very first washer and dryer and have those set up. And we also bought a sofa, loveseat, and kitchen table! We moved from a furnished to an unfurnished apartment, so we need pretty much everything. The furniture should arrive next Saturday. Once it does, the baby is finally free to come. Let's just get completely unpacked and settled into the apartment, and then I can think about a baby.
