Background

Let's start with why we moved.
Back in October, Aaron was offered a promotion to project management. The only hitch was that the promotion involved a move to the corporate headquarters in Denver. Professionally the move was the right thing for him. Personnaly, the decision was a little harder for the entire family. We had lived in Greenville for almost seven years. We all had great friends there. Our house that Aaron had worked so hard on was there. Darla's job was there. We had moved to Greenville when Campbell was only 18 months old, so Greenville is all she knew. Caleb had been born in Greenville. We had family nearby with Aaron's mom only 1 1/2 hours away. Other family was as close as 4 hours away in Charleston.
Ultimately, we decided that the move was the best decision for our family. The promotion was great for Aaron. Darla would have plenty of job opportunities. The schools would be great for Campbell. So, we decided that we would spend our last Christmas in our Greenville home and prepare the house for sale.
We put the house on the market at the beginning of January and three days later we had an offer on the house. After a few days of counter offers, an agreement was reached and the house was under contract. We would be closing on February 25th. Things went smoothly from there.
That brings us to the move itself...
