We were told the moving truck would arrive between 8-10am on Thursday. We were not prepared. There were items to be packed, sold, donated, and cleaned left and to be honest we were not feeling up to it. The previous day my husband Adam and his father were vomiting and spent most the day in bed. That left my mother in-law to watch the boys while I did what I could around the house. With a tragic turn of serendipity the moving truck was hit by a car on their way and delayed about 4 hours.
When they arrived things went smoothly. Everything we wanted got packed promptly and efficiently. But I hit my limit and was feeling sick.
My neighbor (whom I will miss like crazy) drove me and the boys to a hotel while everyone else stayed and cleaned the house top to bottom. I spent the night close to a toilet. The entire drive got pushed back a day and we booked the hotel for another night.
Then..... Finally...... Saturday morning. we loaded up the car and hit the road.

Night one was in North Platte Nebraska. we arrived at the hotel after it was already dark. We unloaded then went to dinner at a boring chain restaurant. It is never fun to argue with a picky toddler in public. People glance over with judgy or annoyed faces while we beg a 3 year old to take one more bite. PLEASE ONE MORE BITE. Lately his picky eating has become even more of a problem because he wakes up in the middle of the night screaming that he is hungry. And it is never smart to make Adam mad when he is half asleep.
Overall the trip went as well as expected. After the fun in Iowa we stopped one more time in Toledo OH before we finally made it to Brooklyn.
First Impressions
Adam chose a great apt. It's fully remodeled with a huge kitchen island. Tha main living room is large with an open floorplan. It has large windows for plenty of light. The layout is great. The three bedroon are in the back and have a door that can be shut to keep the kids in one area.
Our neighborhood is very diverse. We are surrounded by Middle Eastern and Asian businesses.
Everything feels like a dream and I still can't believe we are here. I feel as if this is temporary and will be heading to SLC soon.
