Missourians????

Well, we made it! It was a long, tiring trip, but we are finally in our new home in Kirkwood, MO! T.R. and I got up at 4:15 Friday morning, and I took him to work. I finished packing up the bathroom stuff and our bedding, went and got coffee, and the movers were there by 7:30. They worked all morning while I ran last minute errands. At 12:30, they were all done, and they headed on up to St. Louis. T.R. and I met and closed on our house at 1:00, and after a few more errands, were on the road by 2:30. We were almost out of Oklahoma when traffic came to a complete stop, and we were stopped for 2 and a half hours for a terrible wreck that killed 10 people. We never saw the wreck because the line of cars was 15 to 20 miles long on the interstate, and they closed it down. We had to get off and find our way back onto it through on-star and country roads. We just happened to wind around by the interstate at the "welcome to Missouri" sign! So, we took the opportunity to stretch our legs and take a picture. We finally checked into our hotel in St. Louis at 1:00 in the morning, and a 7 hour drive had turned into 11 hours, and we had both been up for 21 hours. We were exhausted but so glad to be here safe and sound! We have been unpacking, getting settled in, and catching up on much needed rest. The girls are coming on Saturday, and we can't wait for them to see their new home. We hope they like it! Will post pics as soon as I have it just the way I want it!
