Farewell, Wisconsin

We had a lot of mixed feelings about leaving Wisconsin. Milwaukee has been our home for the last four years. We had both of our babies here and we weren't quite ready to leave. But when Scott interviewed in Texas, he had such a good feeling about it and I trust him. Plus I was ready for another adventure. Plus this new adventure featured warm weather, no winter, cousins for Jane to play with, and the Beach! Not to mention tasty barbecue...
Anyhow, we tried to get our fill of frozen custard in before we left. It turns out, this is impossible. We went for about 4 "last trips" to get custard.

Our kids were super hard workers to help us pack...
OH WAIT

And the saddest glimpse of our beloved cul de sac as we pulled away.

THANK YOU WISCONSIN! I have been forever changed by the incredible friends we have found here. I miss you all like crazy.

At long last we set out on our insanely long drive (22ish hours w/o potty breaks/wiggle/gas/coke/food stops).
We mostly tried to stay sane and keep the kids fed/hydrated/entertained.
A huge thank you to Scott's parents who helped drive us across the country during their time off :) That's true love, folks.
