Nelsons in MS. and The Trip Home

My family drove out in the new motor home to help us move home. We had a fun week before heading west. It was complete with a trip to Alabama, dinner at Catfish Country, and a tour of the Buffalo park in Tupelo. The Stites and the Nelsons became instant friends. The girls even whipped out their guitars. We packed up the caravan (the truck and 5th wheel followed by my dads motor home trailering our SUV) and they were gone after a quick Sunday picnic. I stayed behind to finish up my rotation. Shayna and the kids got to ride in the motor home while my dad drove. In Shayna's own words "this is the only way to drive with kids across country". Amy and Mom drove the truck pulling our home of 14 months. They are troopers! We are so thankful they were willing (and even suggested the idea) to help us move. It would not have been the same experience without the help. There was minimal drama (running out of gas and Ruby popping a seam), and they made good time. Shayna has spent her first week home unpacking and chasing the kids around. My rotation is over now and I am studying for my test. Saturday couldn't come sooner. I have 3 rotations in Utah left, 1 month back in Tennessee wrapping up, and then the Boards (Sometime in May).
