September 2007.

After some drama during the truck rental process that included switching from UHaul to Penske, we were prepared to load. Then the rain came, and left. Here we're loading the truck in South Carolina with the help of friends from Easley Bible Methodist Church.

We got together with the Biggers for some last minutes goodbyes over pizza. We will certainly miss some of the friendships we made stronger through our time in Easley as well as those new friendships we forged.

Josh got to spend the first leg of the trip in the front of the truck. We left at dawn on Friday morning after loading all afternoon Thursday.

The girls say goodbye to South Carolina on a rainy Friday morning.
