35+ Hours.

After over 35 hours, Greg finally pulled into Bismarck with his yellow Penske truck on Thursday. It was a long few days for him. It included: Tuesday driving from Columbia to Indiana, conquering all the mountains along the way. Wednesday morning waking up in Indiana and waiting a few hours for his broken wiper to get fixed (guy had to drive from Indianapolis) then getting stuck in crazy traffic for much of the day and finally making it to MN about 10:30pm that night. Thursday he got company in the "big yellow truck" when Eli and I joined him from my sister's in MN to Fargo (and Eli did quite well in fact). Fargo he dropped off the Camry/trailer and we ditched him for a comfy ride with Grandma and cousin Lilli for that last three hours. We all arrived in Bismarck (safely) around 6pm on Thursday.

On the road again.

Bad lighting but this is the "welcome to ND" sign on the interstate in Fargo.

I was plumb worn out, nerves and all, by the time we arrived. Thursday night we had GREAT help unloading thanks to Greg's dad, our brother-in-law Andrew, friend Nate, and three strong Weisbeck cousins! They unloaded items here and the rest at our awesome friends' house where we are storing most of our stuff. Sadly I took no photos of all the work being done! I was just so glad we had made it in one piece.

Friday Greg and his dad left in the empty big yellow truck and drove it back to Fargo to be returned with a little less than 2,000 miles on it. When they made it back to Bismarck for supper, I'm pretty sure Greg was finally able to take a breath. Though to be honest, he hasn't really gotten a break. Today we had to actually try to unpack and settle in plus Eli got a cold and isn't loving the transition to big-boy bed (read: he's really whiny and tired). Baby has been moving still so she seems to be doing alright among the crazy.

Eli is loving the attention and the smoothies from G & G.

Fun in the grass.

And what a whirlwind since we've been here! More soon!
