By the time Brian's parents let from their visit it was a 2 week countdown till Thanksgiving! I left the following weekend to AZ to visit friends as well as plan a 3 day drive back to MS in my little VW Jetta. It was a big trip to plan but everything went safely and I even had the pleasure of having a riding buddy for the trip;. My mom was able to make the loooong drive from AZ to MS with me and it was awesome!
We left Wed before Thanksgiving and started our rive that night right as mom left work at 5pm. We actually made it all the way to Albuquerque that night an quickly found a hotel to pass out at. Alb to east Dallas was the trip for Thanksgiving day and man, was that a long day. Texas is HUGE!!! We literally felt like we were not making any progress that day because we really didn't pass through any boarders. But it was nice and by 5pm on Friday we had left TX and passed through LA and arrived home to Meridian. Our butts were definitely numb. Here are some roadtrip pics!
Mom commandeering the car:
Thanks a lot mom
The Mississippi River Yay!!
Almost there:
Home!!
It was really nice to be back home. Brian even made mom an I dinner! The visit was a pretty restful one except for our Thanksgiving inner ay. Since mom and I were on the road for the holiday we decided to do the dinner a little later in the week and have it Sunday. It was kind of a long process to feed a total if three people but it was nice and tasty!
We arrive in Meridian, MS safely and are now settling in. We actually unpacked our boxes and organized the house a lot faster than before; but that probably has to do with the size of the house we move into on base. Our house is amazing!! We feel so blessed to be in this sort or house so early in our marriage. The house is 3 bedrooms with 2 baths an a TON of closet space. So everything that is not unpacked is in a closet, making the place look great ;)
Immediately after we moved into our new house we started having guests and family in it. Brian's parents visited us for the weekend and although it was a short trip it was really fun for everyone to get together and for them to see where we are living now. Here are some pictures from their visit.
