Well Nick helped Jason take apart the table. The next day we went to Yuma, Az to get the Uhaul trailor, that was on Friday April 25. The next day Ben dropped Nick and myself off at the airport and we flew to Salt Lake City. Lisa was nice enough to pick us up and put up with us for a whole weekend. While her own husband was hijacked by mine to finish up loading, cleaning and driving to Salt Lake. (She even coped very well with my very loud boy and my non-stop talking) : ) Nick loves Emma. He fell in love with her the second he saw her again. All he wanted to do was hug her. The mountains there were so beautiful, too. Still had a little snow on them. We then made it to Wyoming on Tuesday. Got a little settled before we hit the road, again. To northern Wyo. to spend time with Grammy Marie. Then off to South Dakota to see Grandma & Grandpa G. On late Wed May 7 we finally headed back home to finish settling as much as possible before Ben leaves. While in South Dakota, Nick enjoyed test driving one of Grandpa's jobs. We spent about 3 1/2 days home then on the road to Denver to fly Ben back to Cali. He left yesterday to Hawaii and Guam and will be leaving sometime tonight on the ship where he will call home for the next couple of months. Ben has driven almost 3000 miles and flown approx. 7400 miles in less than one month. And his adventure is just beginning right now, as in he has arrived on the ship to deploy. Good luck Ben! We Love You! And can't wait until you return home, and can welcome your new family member!
Erica, Nicholas & Connor
