We've Arrived!

Well it's now official. I have moved to New England. I still can't believe we made it here. WHAT A TRIP IT WAS!!! We got into our 17 foot U-haul with our car towed behind us and our dog in the cab with us. We drove for just about 30 hours. We dropped off our dog in Connecticut as we were going on vacation with his family immediately. As we were leaving Connecticut we told the GPS to take us the quickest way to Andrew's parents' house. Well as we were headed back it began to snow pretty quickly as well as it made the roads pretty icy. We were going up one specific hill where a vehicle stopped halfway up. With the roads being as slick as they were, it was pretty much the dumbest idea ever to just stop. Needless to say, we had to slow down so we didn't hit him. After we slowed down, we realized we had no momentum or traction to get up the rest of the hill. Andrew floored it and the trailer began to jackknife. As he pressed the gas harder, the more we began to lose control of the trailer. We instantly began for God to protect us and give us a tiny bit of traction. After about 10 minutes of this, God gave it to us to get over the hill safely. We truly were seconds away from tipping over. I have 2 interviews in the next 2 days in actual downtown Boston. My next blog will be posting on the outcomes.
