The Trail to Boerne, TX

As mentioned in my last post, Blake's New Job, our two person, one dog Farrar household needed to pack the apartment in Dallas and move south to, small town, Boerne, TX. Blake needed to move down to Boerne and into our new apartment two weeks before I did, so I could finish my job at the Museum and he could start his new adventure!

It was a two and a half week long transition and we COULD NOT have done it ourselves,

we WOULD have died,

actually we would have needed counseling after,

so praise the Lord for moving dollies and friends!

(We found out early in our marriage that when moving new furniture into our apartment in Dallas the constant maneuvering and heavy lifting really tested us and from that moment we knew that moving wan't our "thing." Because of this we thought it would be perfect to now give every new married couple a Dollie for their wedding gift.)

It should really be called a relationship saver. Newlyweds, don't know what's coming.

So we thank all of our friends and loved ones who helped us make the month long transition from Dallas to Boerne, TX a success!

Cameron (Sulley) and Lauren (Jiffy) Brown gave us all our their Uhaul boxes that they used when they moved to Dallas and thank goodness, because we used EVERY single one of them!  

Blake's parents, Newt and Lorie, came from Tyler to help us pack all day on a Sunday. Then the next day Newt drove our truck, Lorie drove their car , while Blake drove the moving truck and unpacked in Boerne that same day!

Then our sweet friends Joe and Emily Fulcher were so thoughtful to come and help the packing adventure!

Newt was the official packer of the truck! 

Joe and Emily, our Thursday date night friends!

 Goodbye Apartment #508

While Blake was down in Boerne, I was blessed to stay with Neal and Jessica Anthony! They allowed Big Boy to stay too and it worked out perfectly! They also have Vizsla name Eisley, so the two of them were quite the pair. I stayed with the Anthony's for the two weeks and it was a blast getting to spend extra time with Jessica. 

Blake and I  met half way one weekend in College Station for Katelyn's Graduation! 

Brother and Sister are both officially Aggie Grads! 

Then it came to the Saturday I was officially leaving Dallas to drive to my hubby! So of course Jessica and I went to Mcalisters for one last lunch visit before I hit the road. As I was pulling into the parking lot, Tamara, my car, seemed to just stop.

The alternator went out.

So the rest of the afternoon the Anthony's stayed by my side.

The Ford Focus in shame while the Anthony's stand in support.

Two hours later and the Focus was ready to go, however, it was too late to take the five hour trek to Boerne, so I stayed with the Anthony's one more night, before heading out to my man in the morning!

Sunday morning hit and as the sun was waking up the day, Big Boy and I were headed south to end this 2 1/2 week long separation from my husband and call Boerne home. 

 Big Boy is the best traveler...hands down

Five hours later and a shameless stop at Mcdonalds and we were home!

Welcome to Apartment #104

Thanks again and again for all our friends that helped us with a smooth transition down to south Texas!
