Moving to California Trip

Right before we moved, we were getting a lot of rain storms. 

It was reminiscent of the times when we moved to Texas.

Packing the moving truck.

Amy dropped by this gift she made me. :)

Going out to our favorite Ethiopian restaurant one last time.

Last family meal together. (Andy could not make it due to work. He came by the night before instead.)

Saying goodbye to Amy on her property, moving day.

Saying goodbye to Anna at her work on moving day.

My new job shouted me out on socials.

In the car right before pulling out!




In Phoenix.

Our "Gotchya Day" Anniversary was there in Phoenix. First year without Andy :(

"Letting Go Of Ceremony" in Phoenix.

This was a little thing we did to consciously let go of some shit as we move to a new life.

We stopped in Joshua Tree and hiked. 
It got really hot, really fast.

























At the end we got a little lost and a little bit afraid on our way back to the car. But fortunately, we made it before anyone got too dehydrated!



Straight from Joshua Tree, we drove to our new home.

Shortly after arriving home, we had Sherod show up with a housewarming gift, and Steve's coworker Kevin and his wife Charity came too.

Tired kids!
