We Made it!


Well we made it all safe and sound. We took off from California on Sept 3rd and made it all the way to Flagstaff AZ. It was a long 13 hours but luckily I had my sister to help me with the ride, and dad was there to keep Patrick company. Kylee did great for the first 9 hours, of course with mulitple stops. Once we hit that 9 hrs she was ready to get out of the car for the night, as we all where. Unfortunately we had 4 more hours to go. Once we got there she went right to sleep and the rest of us followed not to long after. The next day we got on the road by about 7:45 am and made it to Amarillo TX, by early evening. The day was only about 8-9 hrs so it felt like a breeze compared to the first day. From there we made it to the middle of nowhere Arkansas and where in need of a nice cold beer. Well with the luck we have we ended up in a dry county so no beer for us! From Arkansas we headed to Mt. Juliet TN, just outside of Nashville where spent the afternoon and night with my Uncle Greg, Aunt Lori & cousin Stephen. Uncle Greg was nice enough to get the boat out and take us for a trip to the lake. Patrick got in some wakeboarding, Wake Surfing & single ski time. I got in some crashing on the wakeboard time, but it was great to be out of the car and on the water just relaxing. Finally on sunday we headed down to Smyrna GA to our new home. We were so excited to get there. Our furniture arrived on wednesday which ended up being alittle bit of a hassel, but it all worked out. The moving truck was too big to pull into the gated community so Patrick and the 2 moving guys shuttled our stuff from the truck to the house using Patricks truck. They started at 9 am and finished around 6 pm. While they moved the stuff to the house, dad and I unpacked the kitchen. It was nice to have that all done and put away. Made it somewhat feel like home. From that point we have just been trying to get settled and familiar with the area. We really love our location as we are close to everything we need. Dad stayed until last saturday to help us get things done, which was an amazing help! At this point he still hasn't made it back home but is working his way across the country and visiting with family along the way.. Luckily for him the trip home is by plane instead of car! We started work this week and Kylee started daycare. She is now at the daycare we were hoping for and loving it. We are almost through with our first week of work and are also enjoying getting to know a new office and new coworkers. I took pictures along the way. Some are not so good at 75 miles an hour, but others turned out better than I thought. I tried to get a picture of every Welcome to sign as we entered each state but unfortunately Oklahomas is blurry and I missed Georgia completely.. Oh well I guess thats the way it goes. Thank you all for your love and support over the last month as this transition in our lives has taken place. We love and miss you all and hope to see you all soon! Thanks again to Niki & Dad for coming along on our journey!

Almost time!

Well Sept 3rd is quickly approaching. The stress level is beginning to rise. We still have so much to do and its so hard trying to work and pack and take care of a very mobile 10.5 month old. By the time we get home from work we only have an hour with Kylee to play, bathe & eat then its off to bed. At which point we scarf down dinner and then we are too tried and unmotivated to do any packing. All month we have been on the go every weekend trying to say our goodbyes and it has finally taken its toll. Unfortunately today Patrick woke up with a fever and aches.. Couldn't have come at a worst time, but hopefully it won't be passed along to Kylee and I. Thankfully my parents will be here on saturday morning and will be able to help watch Kylee while Patrick and I hammer through the rest of the packing.. I will be so glad when we are all finished. Then the fun part will begin! The road trip with a baby and animal for 2430 miles... Aren't you all jealous? :) Anyhow thats the update on the Davidson front.. Hopefully we will be able to post some pictures we will take along our trip! Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

Ready for the Road!


As most of you have probably heard, The Davidson's are moving to Atlanta! We are super excited and scared about this new adventure! We are transferring with our current company. They made us an offer we couldn't refuse! Its going to be along 2400 mile drive with an 11 month old, a dog and a kitty but we are up for the challenge. Luckily my dad will be coming with us to keep us company and help with the driving. We have to drive both cars but luckily we have a moving company taking our stuff. We plan to make lots of stops and get lots of pictures for Kylee to look at when she is older. We appreciate all the love and support we have been given with this huge life changing event. It was a difficult decision but we think it will be a great one! Hope you all can come visit, we will have plenty of room! We leave California Sept 3 and hope to be in Atlanta by Sept 8. Lots of packing to do in the next month but hope to get a chance to see most of you before we hit the road! As you can see Kylee is ready for the trip!

Kylee Crawling all over!

Davidson's Camping Trip











We took Kylee on her first camping and boat trip this past weekend. I can't believe how well she did. I think she is meant to be on a boat. Once the boat was in motion she would just lay back and fall asleep. It was quite amazing.. She was such a good girl. Her best friend Elli did so good too. We all had a blast wake boarding, riding the wave runner and just relaxing in the sun. But as usual we are happy to be home. We also had a great visit with Uncle Art. Patrick enjoyed beating him at poker again.. Thanks to everyone that we were able to spend time with and make this a great first vacation for our little girl!
