Our Travels To Destination G: Albuquerque

The 1,500 miles that Clark had to travel from Seattle to Albuquerque were not "uneventful." The first night on his way to meet us in Boise his car broke down in Yakima. He ended up staying the night and getting his car fixed the next day just to get stranded in a snow storm in Burlley, Idaho the next night. Saturday night the house we had planned to rent here fell through! Sunday Clark arrived in Albuquerque to stay with his Uncle Harvey and Aunt Rebecca for a few days and was also able to get the apartment back that we had canceled the week before. It was a whirlwind of a weekend.
During that same time I drove with my mom and the boys to Vernal to visit my Grandma Peterson and to be there Saturday for my cousin Lindsey's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and I was happy to be there.

Ethan got to sleep on the special treadmill bed at Grandma's.

On Sunday we drove to Salt Lake to spend time with Grandpa and Nada. My mom and I braved riding TRAX downtown with the boys to see the beautiful Christmas lights at Temple Square.

The boys and I decided to wait a few days for the storms to pass before traveling to Albuquerque and had a lot of fun laying over in Utah for a few days. We got to spend an evening with Weston and Erica. I got to hang out with my friend Margaret from Des Moines, Ethan was so excited to see his buddy Shannon, and meet the cute little Dustin.

We also got to stay the night with James and Erica.

Caden was so tired, he fell asleep watching a movie with Aunt Erica.

Uncle James taught Caden how to do a slam dunk!

On Wednesday I drove from Provo to Durango with no problems. We had fun staying with Clark's parents that night, then they helped us move our furniture and get to Albuquerque the next day. Harvey and Rebecca met us here to stock our new apartment with groceries and help us unload. We ended up using Plan B, Plan C, and Plan D to get to Destination G...but we are here!!! We were so overwhelmed with all of the help from family, we couldn't have made it without it!
