You heard that right. My parents moved to Scottsbluff, Nebraska. My dad finished his year program up at Weber State in clinical labratory services. He then started putting in applications, including one in Scottsbluff and got the job out there. It all happened very quickly. But it should be a good set up for him. They are allowing him to use their lab to continue working on his bachelor's degree and paying him to work at the same time. They have a cute, little apartment out there and seem to be enjoying it. 
When my dad got offered the job, they only had about a week to come get whatever they needed before heading out there. There was still a lot of their stuff at their house (where we live), so they came over for a couple of days and raced through it, taking what they needed and leaving the rest in a whirlwind of chaos. This place was a huge mess! It was kind of fun, though to help them and to hussel through everything on such a tight schedule. Adventure! This place is still a huge mess, but I was happy to help and am happy to keep helping to clear everything out, organize, and clean the upheaval that is the result of such a fast move. I just slowly keep pluggin' along. It's nice to have a little more space and a lot less stuff hanging around (two families worth of clutter can really add up). I'm so grateful to my parents for letting us live here at such a good price! And so impressed that they were able to take so much stuff with them in such a hurried move. Thanks!
They got a little U-Haul and hitched the car to it. My mom drove their truck. My dad got the fun task of driving the U-Haul. Ollie loved the big truck.
He was determined to go with them! First he got in the U-Haul with Granpy. He had a fun time turning the big steering wheel, but wasn't too happy when I made him get out.
Then he took off down the sidewalk when Grammy started trying to leave....
....and climbed in the truck to go with her. Grammy had told him that they were going to Aunt Marie's house first to pick up a few things. After she told him that, he just kept saying, "I'm gonna go to Aunt Marie's house real quick. I just need to check something." He was thinking up any and every way he could to go with Granpy and Grammy. But alas, his mean mommy eventually dragged him out of the truck and hauled him back inside. We will all miss them so much, but are kind of excited for them to have a new adventure! And with Skype (love it!) we can all video call and still get to see each other. We wish them tons of luck!

Congrats to your dad Ang! What a big move. Guess you get to go visit somewhere new huh? Wish them luck for me! :)
Wow! I wasn't expecting to hear that. Congratulations to your dad. What a fun new adventure. :)
Great moving pictures. Ollie will have to come visit us soon. Grampy will probably spring for gas money if he wants to come, however, we will be there in mid-July.
So sad for us that they are gone. 8(
