Moving always seems to take longer than anticipated.
Which is why we ended up driving through the Smokey Mountains after midnight (very twisty roads!). But we were glad to be on our way!
{The boys helping Nathan load the crib onto the truck. They thought that was very fun!}
Unfortunately we hit a few snags once arriving in Kentucky, like a dirty apartment and no running water! But I doubt we'll soon forget the bottled water showers we took after unloading our stuff. It's the stuff memories are made of.
Despite the rough start logistically we are really loving Kentucky. The people here are awesome! Nathan's co-workers have been so friendly and welcoming, several even showed up to help us move in. We also really like our church group thus far. They are really on top of things and read in our membership records on our first Sunday! Of course we were late so no one could put our name with our faces, doh!
After a long week of unpacking, we tried to get out and do something fun before Nathan started his new job. We wanted to go swimming, but inclement weather nixed that plan. We headed to a local park instead. This park ended up having an incredible number of ducks and geese. Seriously, they numbered into the hundreds!

So I think we had a better time feeding the ducks than the boys did, but it was great to get out and see a little bit of our new city. We're looking forward to hitting up the dollar theater, visiting some of the many horse farms, and getting to visit more with family (we actually have some family within driving distance!) We are so looking forward to putting down some roots here which no doubt will entail many more trips to feed the ducks.
