We got home from Bear Lake and had 3 days to pack everything we own and say our last goodbyes. Thankfully we had already packed most of our stuff so we just had to box up the odds and ends and hope that it all fit into the trailer. We left Sunday morning and drove for 14 hours until we arrived in Omaha. The next morning we drove to the Winter Quarters Visitor Center, where Melly will be serving her mission for the next year and a half. We took a tour guided by one of the sisters and she was able to take us across the street to the cemetery and find the burial site of one of Cody's ancestors. We told the sisters at the visitor center about Melly and they were all excited to meet her. After a few short hours there we had to leave in order to make it to St. Paul. We drove for another six hours until we finally made it to our new apartment.
Our 5x8 trailer that all of our stuff had to fit into.
As you can see it was a tight squeeze, but Cody is an expert packer and we were able to fit almost everything.
Said our goodbyes and ready to hit the open road.
Asleep at the wheel already and we hadn't even started :)

How exciting! I can't believe you fit ALL of your belongings into a 5x8! You'll have to teach us a thing or two about packing for our next move, we used a whole giant moving truck! I'm glad you made it.
