Sprouting Sinnemas: Good bye Nebraska ~ 3/2013

Adam's last trip to the office. Normally he left at 6 - 6:30 a.m. to beat the traffic jam outside of Plattsmouth due to the road construction the past two years. But today, since he is with all of us, it's a little bit later in the day.

The newest office space acquired this year on I Street, where Adam's most recent cubicle is.

Everyone was pretty much shocked to learn he is leaving. When one of his boss' was announcing his resignation at a morning office meeting, he said that Adam and one other guy were the 'rock stars of OneIM.'

During his last two weeks, Adam received many wonderful, good bye emails and visits from everyone he knows. He was pleasantly surprised to hear a few say how they were proud of his courage to make the break. It's not called the 'rat race' for nothing.

In to drop off one last thing.

Kiewit has been So good to us. We have learned so much, have met so many good friends, and seen so many wonderful places that we would never otherwise have known. We are so thankful for Adam's eight, good years here. It truely is hard to say good bye.

Going across town on a well traveled road by Adam to the Kiewit Plaza.

There it is in the middle. Adam dropped off his smart phone here, along with finishing his last business. Felt a little naked without it!

Our last co-op was Dr. Suess Day at Tracy's place, Feb. 27th.

Tracy and Erin (above) are teacher's by profession...and at heart. They have taught me so much. And they pull out all the stops!!

Helena and David, Erin's two kids. So cute!!

Eating green eggs and ham!!! And it was very good!

Matthew and JD's relationship showing through. Little sweeties.

Tracy was so sick. I didn't even realize it!! She is phenomenal.

Tracy took these pictures when we first arrived then framed them later for us with the frames the kids painted. Thank you so much Tracy!! They are all in our living room right now!

Madilyn showing William her kitchen cupboard.

There were so many activities the kids did! These pictures only show a fraction of them!

We started our first day of co-op here at Tracy's house, and it was wonderful ending it on such a fantastic note with all of our dear friends, here again. We will dearly miss each and every one of you! I can't imagine what wednesday mornings are going to be like without you!!

Friends forever ~

They took me out to a fantastic restaurant in Omaha! Just us ladies. It was so relaxing and fun!

This was the biggest truck available at the lot. Adam backed it in and I was his guide. He did it perfectly and I wasn't too concerned. All of a sudden I realized he literally had only inches to spare on each side!! God smiles on us All the time - and again, I am very grateful. Especially when I don't quite see the whole picture at a given moment! March 2, 2013, Saturday.

One last trip to the eye doctor with my little helpers.

Some time alone with just William, Daddy and I. Tracy generously had Matthew and Kaitlyn spend the night at her place and go to One More Co-op! So last night we stayed at the hotel in downtown Plattsmouth. (Though she Also invited All of us to spend the night!!) But our car needed an unexpected visit to the garage...and we still had quite a bit left to do.

Our house is pretty empty! With an entire household and no extra (Kiewit) help (that we had on our other moves) - we only were one day off in our estimation of when we would leave town. March 6th, Wednesday.

Pretty cute while tasting Daddy's foam.

Adam got two professional movers to come for a few hours and haul some of the major load. That was tremendous! Getting closer and closer!

Kaitlyn had spent the night at Tracy's last night with Matthew, went to co-op with them at Erin's, and then drove home with Karla and her boys. She took it all in stride! Matthew is still going strong over at Karla's, playing with Caleb and JD. Kaitlyn came home. Both very happy with it all! I was surprised with Kaitlyn! What a big girl! In a couple of hours Matthew is going over to Cooper's house! (Such wonderful, helpful friends!!) Kaitlyn needed to stay with us, though. Even though she really likes playing with his sisters Bryer and Grace! A little four year old can only do so much : )

Filling in the holes with the small stuff. March 7th, Thursday. Tonight we'll leave and drive a few hours.

We sold So Many things on Craigs List!! It was wonderful! Here are some of the leftovers. There is still some things of ours in the garage also. So we'll be back sometime this summer to pick it up....and one more visit : )
