We made it!

After much difficulty we managed to make it to Arizona. We got a pretty late start out of Albuquerque because we had to get the springs on the trailer fixed. The three blow outs had damaged them and the trailer was riding lopsided. I'm sure we must of looked like the Beverly Hillbillies with our no fender having tilted trailer. 

Once we got on the road the ride went smooth besides the monsoons we drove in and out of through most of New Mexico. We saw a nasty multi vehicle accident with an overturned truck and shortly thereafter emergency vehicles headed that direction. It was so sad. I felt so grateful that it was not us. Then I felt guilty for being glad it wasn't us.

To top our adventure off, when we were within a couple of miles of my aunt and uncles house we were pulled over. It was around 1 am. We were painfully tired teetering on the brink of delirium. I started laughing because it was so ridiculous. Like the cherry on top. In Az you are supposed to have your trailers tagged which is not the case in Ok and since we were coming from Oklahoma we did not have our trailers tagged. The officer took our information and walked a dog around the trailers then let us go without any problems. I've never been so ready to reach a destination before in my life!

Eric and his parents stayed with us until Thursday morning. It was nice having them here and I wish they were here now. My in-laws met my family and we showed them around a little bit but we were so busy trying to get everything unloaded and situated that we didn't really get to take them around town. We were so exhausted from the trip that just hanging around was pretty nice. 

Now the kids and I are in Arizona. I really do love being here. I can't explain why, it just is home for me I suppose. We are staying at my Aunt Martha and Uncle Leo's house for now. Eric is back in Oklahoma finishing a job there. He should be here by the end of August. I miss him already.

The kids start school on August 6th. The girls have picked their first day of school outfits out. I don't have my Arizona license so I haven't started working yet. We spent yesterday on the lake with my uncle so my tan is looking pretty nice. The kids did some tubing and lots of swimming. Kevin spent the night on the lake with my uncle on the boat and did a little fishing. As of now we are still in limbo but getting closer to the end of this chapter. 

It has certainly been an adventure.
