If you didn't already know, we moved to IOWA! We sold all of our furniture minus our bed, and Abigail's cribs, and our table (that one mainly because we couldn't sell it). We got a 6x12 trailer because it saved us hundreds of dollars than getting a truck and driving our car along with it. As we were gathering all of our stuff to be put in the trailer the days prior to moving, we got really nervous thinking we weren't going to fit it all. You never fully realize how much you actually have until you have to box it all up. My dad flew out to help us with the drive. The drive was supposed to be 16 hours, but it ended up being a lot longer because between Utah and Wyoming, we were only able to push our car to 40 miles going up the steep grades of the mountain. I was a happy camper with the speed (max of 60 w/ the trailer) and Abigail was a GREAT rider. We bought a portable DVD player and we watched "puppies" 101 Dalmatians like 5 times a day. We stopped two nights at hotels and let Abigail play in the pool. We arrived in Des Moines Iowa on the 1st of July and left a few days later for the Johnson family Reunion, but that is another post. Here are some pictures of the trip!
