The last blog post was about moving Calvin out to Utah last Christmas/New Years....this post is about his move from Utah to West Virginia :)
Due to a random miracle (or calamity, depending on your perspective) our friends who were hosting Calvin, lost their employment situation with the church kind of randomly (and for the record, illegally). The miracle is that within a month, they had a new better paying job in Clarksburg West Virginia, which is only a 4 hour drive from us :D Since Rob had to start his job immediately, Wendy was left behind to pack up and move everyone out, so of course I went out to help. I spent two weeks helping pack, and then driving back, just in time to be home for the kids going back to school. I got to spend lots of time with Calvin, so it was pretty great :)
