To Amish Country They Go

Josh was offered a helicopter flight instructor job in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on the same day that Emma left for Houston. We were already a bit sad about her leaving, and then we got the phone call from Josh saying that they were leaving in just one month. He and Megan spent the rest of November and the beginning of December selling off things they knew they couldn't take with them such as all of their furniture, washer and dryer, and some other things, including most of Megan's beloved plants. Their plan was to drive both of their cars loaded up with all that they could fit in them. We gave them our hard top car carrier that attached perfectly to Josh's Subaru. They were able to put bags of their clothing up in that. 

Josh finished up his bachelor's degree in aviation science at Utah State, and then just a couple of days later, they set out early in the morning for their three day trek to PA! Matt and I and Megan's family were there at their apartment to see them off before dawn. I wish it had been light enough to have been able to get a picture of them with their loaded cars. There was only room for one person in each car. Even their passenger seats were utilized. We were happy that they arrived in Lancaster without accident, harm, sickness, or car trouble. 

Several days before they left, Megan accepted a job offer as a medical assistant for an orthopedic group. We are super proud of them and can't wait to get to visit them in beautiful Amish country! Here is a picture of them in their empty apartment all ready to leave and a picture of some goodies I sent off with them. The next one is a screenshot that Matt took while facetiming with Josh. Notice how much he has stuffed in there! The fourth picture is one Josh took while driving on icy roads. I took a screenshot in the app Find My Friends that showed when they were arriving in the Lancaster area. They are temporarily living in his new boss's pool house in Ronks until they can move into their new apartment. The last picture is one Megan took of a bridge over the Susquehanna River near Lancaster. I hope to see more pictures of the gorgeous area they live in and where Josh now gets to fly over every day.
