I think I Made It


Well, we're here. Kam left last week to drive our cars out here with his dad, mom and brother, Kris. They drove for 3 days straight and got right to work unloading the truck and putting everything away. I arrived yesterday with the boys. They were both amazing on the plane ride. I was so scared to travel by myself with 2 small children, but was pleasantly surprised by their extra good behavior. I also had a lot of help from the airline crew as well as some really nice passengers.
Saying "goodbye" to everyone at home was really hard. My anxiety kicked in and I was just sick. Each time I had to say goodbye to anyone my stomach was in knots and I felt that I was going to hurl. On Monday, our last night in Utah, the anxiety was so overwhelming that I just about nearly passed out. I was absolutely distraught. I'm sure that the only thing that truly got me on the plane tuesday morning was knowing I'd see Kam. 
Now that I'm here I feel okay. I feel very peaceful in our house. The same feeling I had when we left here after signing the lease. I am hopeful for a great experience here in PA. I know that our Heavenly Father wants our family here at this time and that there will be great learning experiences and opportunities to grow out here.

Good luck Katie and enjoy all of the new experiences living away from home! I absolutely loved my time away from Utah and was so grateful for all the good times and new things to experience.
