We are Here!

We are finally here!!!! After a whirlwind three weeks, we finally made it to the beautiful South Carolina. We have had an extremely busy and exciting last three weeks. It started out with an awesome and amazing trip to Alaska with the Olsen fam. We had an incredible time seeing bears, eagles, eating, whale watching, viewing glaciers, zip lining, eating, dancing, playing cards, chatting, oh and did I mention eating. We arrived home on Saturday and Spencer was driving a huge, 26 footer, Penske truck with all of our junk to South Carolina on Thursday. Needless to say we were in quite a rush to get everything packed and on its way. We were suprisingly successful, but not without many long nights and help from lots and lots of good friends and family. Thank you again everyone! While Spencer was driving the monstrous load to SC we were living at my mom's and trying to tie up all of the loose ends.






















And.....now we are here! It is a beautiful place (the pictures are just a couple that we have taken of the scenery and campus here) and there will be posts to come to tell you about our adventures in the old SC.

I'm going to try to get to that home store this week ... it looks like they have super cute stuff. Thanks for the plate of treats... sorry I missed saying good-bye. Hope you get settled in soon and relax a little. Good luck with everything!

Tommy and Teisha said...

Congrats! I am glad that you finally made it out there-- it looks beautiful.

Troy, Kristin, and Two Rug Rats said...

katie- I have been out of the blogging world for awhile now. I think the new baby thing and summer on top of that has kept me out of the loop, so any way I had no idea you guys were moving. Congrats to your hubby for starting school again. I hope you guys are doing well, and good luck in SC.

Courtney said...

Glad you guys made it out there! Can't wait to see and hear more!

You made it sound as if spencer was the only one to drive out there. Hmm, i do believe i drove that truck too, and then moved all your furniture into your house with my bulging biceps. A shout out would be welcomed
