Today our dream came true…..

Its CLOSING DAY!!!!  We are officially Kentucky Farm owners!! Without further ado here is the long-awaited photos of our farm.

This morning we got up early (not my favorite thing to do) and headed to Lubbock to pick up the moving truck. Picked up my parents from the hotel on the way to Lubbock and we were off like a herd of turtles. I am so thankful they drove up here yesterday (an 8-hour drive) to help picking up the moving truck and helping me load up the stuff I have had in storage for the last couple years for our forever home when we moved into our 5th Wheel.

Zep was not excited to get up early this morning either

We actually got the storage loaded up pretty quickly, way ahead of schedule (yes in my head I have a schedule). Well, then we attempted to move our giant safe. We got it on the dolly, got it to the ramp, and that’s when it downhill…. Not up hill like it was supposed to. We went over safety, and my dad was pulling the safe (450 lbs.) and the kids and I were pushing. We pushed, and pushed and it didn’t move up the ramp. We tried again and it fell over on top of my dad!! Yikes I am so glad he was okay. We quickly pulled it off of him and laid it down on to the ramp. We thought maybe we could push it up the ramp laying on the dolly. We were wrong again. I felt defeated. We literally only had the safe and the kitchen table left. We called in some reinforcements to come help and I was so thankful for their help.

Since we were way ahead of schedule we headed towards our next locations. My parents, my dog (Zep), their dog (hazel), Hunter (my son), and Payton went back towards Livingston, its about an 11-hour drive. Cheyenne and I went towards Copperas Cove to my sister-in-law Carla’s house. About 10 min in I realized it only adds a little bit of time if I go home tonight to Lamesa and drive the rest of the way in the morning. Yay! I get to see my amazing husband for the night.

Tomorrow morning, we will get up bright and early and hit the road again. On to step two of the move to Kentucky.

  1. This is Chad’s cousin, Brian. (Please tell him hello for me.) First time on your blog. Just found out about your big purchase. I’ll be keeping up on your adventures. In the meantime, I’m doing my part up here in the Northland to keep St Paul boring. 🙂 A question before I go: What is the origin of the Pink Squirrel moniker?

      1. Thanks for explaining origins of the Pink Squirrel. It reminds me of the movie series from a few decades ago: the Pink Panther. 🙂
