The move to Vail

Well we made it, but it wasn't an easy start to our journey.

We planned to leave Bellingham bright and early on Wednesday morning last week, but we had one little problem: our new Subaru could barely tow the trailer to Steve's and Karen's house. We should have realized this was going to be a problem when we were packing up the trailer with Eric and CJ, but hindsight is 20/20.

After reviewing our options, we decided to sell the Subaru and buy a truck to tow the trailer. Luckily our friend Roger had a truck he was planning on selling, so we sold our car to Steve and Karen and purchased Roger's truck. We left Bellingham around 3ish p.m. — just six hours behind our goal.

The bottom line is we couldn't have left Bellingham at all if it weren't for the amazing support system our friends and family provide for us. My dad said one of the coolest things about our wedding was meeting all the people we have in our lives, and that we should proud of who we surround ourselves with. I still can't believe how many people rallied to help us move here, and I can't thank them enough.

Those are the words, but here are the pictures of our journey and of our new home. Don't judge them too harshly — I only have my iPhone for a camera right now.
