Moving a Family of 6

I tell you what we have ALOT of stuff!  I think I shocked my uncle and cousin that came with a semi truck to move us! lol  My Uncle Johny and my cousin, John-John (sorry John-John you will always be John-John to me! :) came with a 40 foot semi truck to load all our stuff in and we were hoping to fit the Honda in the back of that as well so that we could all ride in our van.  We gave away alot of stuff before moving.  We had tons of boxes and big furniture.  After loading less than half of the house we realized the Honda wasn't going to fit.  YES we filled (and I mean top to bottom, PACKED) a 40 foot semi and both of our cars.  Oh and we had to leave some stuff in GA too.  Is that bad?  I claim that we have 4 kids and that requires alot of stuff!!!!  We were mainly concerned that the Honda wouldn't make it to Jacksonville.  But we had no choice now.  So we hit the road.  I drove the van with the kiddos and packed full of stuff, Nathan drove the Honda packed full of stuff and my uncle obviously drove the semi.  Nathan and I drove until we could drive no more.  We were so tired so we stopped about 1 1/2 hours away from Jacksonville and slept in our cars it was about 1:15 am.  Well Nathan slept and I tried.  I had 4 kids to 1 of me working against my sleep!  Once the van stopped 3 out of the 4 woke up but only 1 at a time.  So by the time I got one settle and back asleep another one woke up!  At this point I was loosing sleep!  So needless to say this was rough.  We finally felt rested enough to drive the rest of the trip at 5 am.  So we got to the house at 7am on Sunday Oct 31st.  We came in soo tired and the kiddos well rested!  So we turned on some cartoons poured some cheerios on the floor and Nathan and I passed out.  I don't think I have ever been so tired.  Later that day the truck came with all our stuff and we had a ton of help to unload it all.  We appreciate everyones help sooo much!!!  Especially my Uncle Johny and cousin John.  Oh and I bet your wondering the Honda did make it and is still going! And our stuff that we left in GA.  Yes, my awesome uncle had a run to Nashville and he stopped on his way back and got what he could fit in a pick up truck.  Isn't that awesome!  And so sweet!  He must really love me :)

So that is it we moved a family of 6 to Jacksonville.  We are here and unpacking and loving seeing our family. 

I will post pics of the house soon.
