Our trip from Corning, NY to Roach, MO.
Began with a stop in Canada along Lake Erie at Todd and Kelly Duston’s cottage. We spent three days there with them and their 6 kids. We ate, talked, played and swam a lot. I even play “king of the floating dock” but ended up with the worst of it as the picture shows,thankfully there was no damage other than bruising.

After our time in Canada we went to Jackson, MI. to be part of Mitch and Amanda's wedding. I was a groomsmen, Chloe and Ellie were flower girls, Derek was the ring bearer and Tori was in charge of the guest book.
After the wedding, we loaded our moving van and spent one more night in Jackson, MI. We got up the next morning, put our small bags in our van and left for Bloomington, IL. to visit Becki's brother Pete and his family. Becki drove our van while I drove the moving van and the last time we traveled through the Chicago area we sat in a traffic jam for about an hour, but this time we never had to stop, horray!!! That day we drove for about 6 hours and finally arrived at her brother's house and got to see our neice, Ivy, for the first time. Then they took us to the State Farm recreation park were we spent a couple of hours swimming and fun!!!
The next day we finished our trip with a 6 1/2 hour drive to Roach, MO.
We arrived at the Missionary Training Center around 5:45 pm and were greeted by about 9 guys to help us unload the moving van, which took them about 30 minutes to complete.
We are very thankful for their help.
Here is what it looked like after they were done...
...we are living on the Lake of the Ozarks...
...Chloe is quickly getting used to the surroundings...
...and so is everyone else.
This week we have been enrolling the kids in school, settling the house and getting to know our way around Osage Beach, Camdenton and Raoch, Missouri and hope to update this blog again real soon.
