Day 6 & 7 Of The Cross Country Exodus

We left Pittsburgh around 1 pm and headed north to New York. We stopped for the night on the outskirts of Syracuse and we took the girls swimming in the hotel pool. They weren't too sure about it and didn't really enjoy getting in and swimming but liked it when Rob and my brother Matt jumped in and splashed everywhere. They slept all right that night...not great, but all right.


After breakfast the next morning we headed to Vermont. Right before entering Vermont we stopped at a gas station to feed Georgia and realized that they had Dunkin Donuts. Well, I have never gotten used to Krispy Kremes. Never really liked them. So when we saw Dunkin Donuts we had to get one. Oh, yummy yummy boston creme donut. So wonderful. : )


We got to Rob's parents around noon and started unloading most of our stuff. It didn't take too long because most of the stuff we were unloading here was just going straight into storage. After that, my parents took off with the rest of our stuff for their house, and we will be going up there to take care of it all this coming Friday. We stayed down in Rutland to spend time with his parents and to go back down to Rochester, New York to visit with Rob's family down there that we haven't seen in 2 1/2 years. We are back in Rutland now staying with Rob's parents and starting on the job search. When we go up to my parents this Friday we will continue to search for work to bring in some money while we continue applying for a job that Rob can actually use his degree for. It was a hard trip and this is even a harder time for us, completely relying on our families to support us and our kids, and it really brings the spirits down. I continue to try and have faith that this is where the Lord wants us and that a job will turn up and we can finally get on with our lives, but it's hard to have hope when it's been six months since Robbie started the job hunting, and he's only had one interview out of over 100 jobs he's applied for.


Even though we are back with family we will continue to post about things going on for all our family & friends that live far away. We continue to keep many of you who are searching for a job (just like us) in our thoughts and prayers. We miss all our friends out west and we will keep in touch. It's good to be home!!
