On the Move: Stop in South Dakota

I packed up all our mini life in Alabama, and Justin came home two days before we moved and piled it all in the Penske truck we rented. I will miss being so close to family. And I will miss my friends in the south. I am excited to live in the same house as Justin again, so if that means leaving my friends and family behind to do so, then so be it. Here comes the next adventure!
On our way west, we stayed with Justin's family in South Dakota for about ten days. It was nice to be with his family. It was really, really cold. I've been to South Dakota at this time of year before, the first time I met Justin's family. It was cold then, too. Stacy was with me, and we almost died in a whiteout storm on I-80. I thought I'd promised myself to never drive through that part of the country in the winter again. Oh well. We did it. The windchill this time was negative twenty-seven degrees. I looked outside and it looked like glitter falling from the sky. Justin warned me that if the snow looks like that, you stay indoors. (And that was coming from an Eskimo!) I knew it had to be cold.
The last couple days warmed up for us, though. It was nice to see everyone again.

Daddy came home for good!

Our mini-life, all packed away and shoved in a corner.

In South Dakota, enjoying Daddy.

Due to arctic temperatures, we sought indoor entertainment. Mason wanted to set up the pins HIS way.

It's warm enough to go outside!!!!!

Once we got out, Justin made sure to do one of his favorite pastimes-- yelling "I love you!" up the Yankton water tower.

Donovan only wanted to play on the oldschool playground equipment.

I felt really sick once we got to SD. So I took a test. I am pregnant! And I really was sick, too. Unfortunately, the rest of the house got sick as well. I'm just grateful it was a bug and not morning sickness!

And here is a music video for your enjoyment.
