We've Arrived!

After months and months of planning, packing, talking, and scheming, we finally arrived in Ohio last night. We started our trip at 6 am with an early shuttle ride to the airport, then we left Utah just after 9am. We had a 2 hour layover in Denver, during which we discovered that our bags had been checked wrong by the ticket agent in Utah. Instead of checking our baggage (all 8 of them!) all the way through to our final destination, he simply checked them to Denver, where they still are this morning. After leaving Denver, we spent about two hours on a plane traveling to Ohio, then another 90 minutes traveling by car to the house we're actually staying at. It was a horribly long, stressful, hot, exhausting day, but the kids were angelic the entire time. In fact, the only glitch in the entire operation is the fact that our luggage is in an entirely different state, rendering us without clothing, deoderant, toothbrushes, or toys for the kids. We're hopeful that these much-needed things will arrive shortly, making our lives much easier. I will post a few pictures from our trip as soon as I get a chance, but I wanted to at least let everybody know that we're still alive and well!
