Move-In Day

We have arrived! After traveling over 1,300 miles, our convoy of vehicles have arrived! We left Colorado the morning of May 26, 2020, a little later than planned, but definitely before our mandated exit time. Our group consisted of my car, Noah in his truck pulling the 5er, Jake driving the U-HAUL truck towing the utility trailer, and Aaron in his car towing a U-HAUL trailer.

Day 1 (May 26): We made it to Wichita, Kansas (~535 miles); slumbered in a Walmart parking lot (thank the Lord this was still allowed during COVID restrictions!).

Day 2 (May 27): After another long day behind the wheel, we made it to our target location of Memphis, Tennessee (~577 miles). Thanks to Noah’s cousin we were able to locate another Walmart in a “good” part of town. This time we camped out behind the building, per the night manager’s recommendation to be left alone.

Day 3 (May 28): Happy birthday, Noah! We tend to move into homes on important dates. We moved into our home in Colorado on our 2nd wedding anniversary, and now we’ve moved into our home in Alabama on Noah’s birthday! I enjoyed teasing him that I was giving him a house for his birthday. Today was the shortest day of travel (~241 miles). The previous owner was at the property when we arrived and gave us her blessing to move-in even though we didn’t officially close on the house for another 24-hours. Even though we spent the night in our camper, it was nice to finally be home!
