We first flew into Chicago on May 18th. The plan was to induce Tiffany and have a baby on May 21st. So I helped Tiffany shop and pack until Friday. Then she went into the hospital and was induced. The problem was that she was only dilated to a 2 and even though she was given pit to start her labor. Baby Cadence and Tiffany were not ready! So after 2 days, she went home to wait it out! Kevin and I flew home on Sunday only to turn around with the truck and trailer and drive to Chicago on Wednesday the 26th so we could load all these boxes and furniture and take it to Tulsa, with or without Tiffany, Rob and baby Cadence.
But early Wednesday morning we received a call that Cadence had arrived! We were so excited that Kevin and I drove straight to Chicago. We left at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday and arrived in Chicago at 5:00p.m. on Thursday.
Our only stops were bathroom, food, fix the lights on the trailer (they shorted out when we were being rained on in Nebraska) and a 2 hour nap on the side of the road.
And we arrived in Chicago, just in time for the New Mom and Dad to come home from the hospital! Then Rob graduated and now it is moving day!
With the help of some ward members, the entire house was loaded into the trailer by noon on Saturday. Jamie and Adam flew into Chicago on Saturday to help with the move. I picked them up from the airport and we went to downtown Chicago for a few hours! You can not go Chicago without getting a picture under the bean. We also drove by Wrigley Field. People were paying $50.00 to park their cars close to the field. Ouch!
Then Sunday morning, we cleaned out the refrigerator at the apartment and started driving. We arrived at the new apartment in Tulsa at 5:00 a.m. With a new baby, the schedule depends on Cadence. We averaged 2 hours of driving and then 1 hour of feeding and diaper changes. (We didn't mind at all). We sacked out on the floor of the new apartment at 5:00 and had to get up at 8:00, the ward members in Tulsa had arrived to help unpack the trailer and truck. In one hour the trailer was empty and the angels from heaven, aka. ward members, went home. It was so nice to have all the help in Chicago and Tulsa. Thank you everyone! You are truly angels!
And now Tiff and Rob are officially relocated!
We left Tulsa about 11:00, Tues morning and arrived back in Salt Lake Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. Just in time to go back to bed. Total of 3401 miles and 276 gallons of gas.
Only wish we could have stayed a month.
Don't Jamie and Adam look like they are ready to be a Mom and Dad! :)
