The Move to Champaign, IL
My sister Amber came out with us, she rode with me and the twins while Steve drove the moving truck, and it was so much fun! She helped us so much and we are so grateful that she came out with us! On our way out, we stayed in Fort Collins, CO, where my sister Kendall and brother Theron live with their families and we were able to spend some time with them, which was so fun! We then continued on, staying the next night in Missouri, and then stopping to see the Carthage Jail and Nauvoo, and then finally arrived in Champaign. It was a really long trip, (and very emotional on my end), but we made it and we love it!
