now you know some hoosiers!

yes, that's right....we live in INDIANA!!
what? when? why?? you ask. these are all good questions that we are asking ourselves too.
WHY?
brett's call center got shutdown. we had the choice to move to indiana and still have a job or option two- find a new job.
WHEN?
we have actually been here for almost 3 weeks. we got here on liv's birthday and have almost totally settled in. we love our apartment complex and enjoy the neighborhood. we haven't seen too much of indianapolis, but i know where the nearest walmart, target, costco and red robin are so we are set.
here are some pictures from the journey to indiana!
this was the view for me and the girls the whole way there. brett driving the moving truck pulling the car. i did some caravan driving, blocking for brett (i think that is what greg called it) and we had a really good trip.
here is the welcome to indiana sign. still so weird we actually moved. i think we all expect to go to wendy's tomorrow and to see all our friends at church and play group on wednesday and greg, why haven't you called to make lunch plans?
we are really missing minneapolis.
mallory, the girls were so good on the way out!!
silly olivia
we took 2 days to get here and stopped in chicago for a night. we didn't see much because we left minneapolis late and it took much longer than i thought. i forgot about big trucks having to go 55 mph!! SO SLOW!! so, because of the long trip i got a hotel with a pool so we could all play and have fun after the drive. well, just kidding. we got all suited up to go and i looked on the hotel map to see where the pool was and there was NOT a pool!! AHHHHH! i was a little mad and promised the girls we could have a bath when we got to our new house. well, here they are in the HUGE garden tub we have in the master bath. so fun.

and right after this picture was taken, mallory left her mark and claimed this as her territory by POOPING in the tub. luckily i saw as it was happening and quickly saved olivia and got mallory out when she was done.

now i know i am home.

I'm so glad the move went well. It's too bad you weren't moving back out this way. ;)

You poor pregnant girl! You must be exhausted! We only moved 2 miles a couple of weeks ago, and I'm exhausted! Well, I hope you can adjust to Indiana well, and not miss minneapolis too much! Good luck and take care! :)
