The Adventure Started and Everyone is Safe!


For those of you that don't know the whole story, here is a short version. Jamie and family found out they were moving to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky instead of Korea (yeah right!) well they didn't expect it til next year. HA HA HA....Almost 2 weeks ago they found out they had 10 days to move out of their house and move to Ft. Campbell in 11 after that. That gives them NO time for slowing down at all!....

So time was spent....1. packing the house 2. getting car fixed from a boo boo 3. Jamie getting all the paperwork done for the move and housing in Kentucky 4. paying off bills 5. having all phones and etc. turned off 6. Returning Christmas gifts so they don't have to pack them all up 7. not being able to get passports in time for Mary and the boys to ride with Jamie, so buying plane tickets to Seattle 8. Jamie having to drive the car to Seattle 9. and all the Etc's......


So Mary and the boys made it safely to Seattle and waiting for Jamie.


Now Jamie's side of the adventure...1. spinning out on black ice and having to dig his way out of the snow bank with no shovel 2. almost hitting a Caribou standing in the middle of the road on a mountain corner 3. hitting black ice again at 20 miles an hour and breaking the plastic piece from underneath the car, which is alright as long as he was ok! 4. eating on the run 5. not stopping to use the bathroom (I know TMI) 6. not getting to much sleep 7. making it to Seattle at 3am this morning...SAFE! 8. A mother not worrying anymore!


I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for keeping them all safe on their journey and the journey's they have yet to face.

So they will spend the day in Seattle and then drive to Arizona to spend Christmas with us, I am so excited! Can't wait to see those grand boys of mine....I will be posting ALOT of pictures.

I've been praying for them too.

I wondered if they might stop here for some rest and food. Hopefully they give me more than 7 minutes notice like last time. They're welcome for sure, it's just the state of the house will be questionable if they don't give me any prep time.

It sounds like your whole family will be together for Christmas. What a blessing.
