So one cold and breezy night I landed in Des Moines, IA. While my luggage simultaneously landed in Atlanta, Ga. Thankfully Tiffanie and her family were at the airport to cheer me up.
Wearing the attire of someone who left a climate in the mid 40's I was a bit cold as we walked from the car into the restaurant while a 2 degree wind tried to freeze my breath. Sitting down to dinner I met Tiffanie's mother, step father, her brother and his daughter, her sister with her husband and daughter, and her grandparents. After dinner we headed off to her fathers for the night. The next few days were spent packing, and meeting family. Then the night before we left my luggage did arrive. So a U Haul full of college text books, a parrot in the back seat and a tree in the trunk and we were off.
A short 10 or so hours later we arrived at Tiffanie's new apartment where my parents met to help us unpack. After introducing our parents to each others we did a rapid unpack and headed off to the Olive Garden for a really late dinner.
Here you see one hard working unpacking crew

As with the Thanksgiving trip home we saw grandma and had bagel dogs.
