1,500 miles


"Houston:  The trip that moved us"
It all started in the quaint little town of Provo, Utah where one unsuspecting couple decided to pack up all of their belongings, load up a U-Haul trailer and move 1,500 miles south-east to see for themselves if everything really is bigger and better in Texas.


The Characters:
  • Brett- The one with brains and brawn soon to be known as Student teacher extraordinaire
  • Kirsten - Answering the age old question "will you follow him into the dark"
  • Tyler- Whoever said being a third wheel was a bad thing 
  • Mike and Tracie- The truck driving, trailer pulling, dynamic duo!

The Plot:

Scene one-  Packing up Provo: the boxes are endless





Scene two- The moving truck: will there be room?


Brett- doing what he does best! 

He made it all fit!  
 Scene Three-  Deep Cleaning: bye bye dust bunnies


Scene 4- The help arrives and the last few things fit




Scene 5 and 6 and 7- On the road again

 



Me... doing what I do best.

BONUS! Scene 8- Tyler's much anticipated Buc-ee's stop: Quote "famous for their bathrooms"


Scene 9- The first impressions: better than expected!
