Schrute is HOME!

We left at 8 AM on Sunday morning to pick him up – there was no snow in Mansfield and none on the way – we took the MAPQUEST directions taking us through Lock Haven and Altoona – ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN!

Even though it was not snowing in Mansfield – there was PLENTY of snow on the way down!

What should have been a 4 hour trip took 6 hours in the snow and slush – I am not a good passenger (or driver for that matter) in bad weather – too worrisome!

We made it – FINALLY! We got to see Schrute with his brother and sisters – I didn’t take my camera in b/c I was too exhausted from the ride! Mary sat in the back with Schrute while we decided to go back via the TURNPIKE and Harrisburg to 15 – a way we all know and love!

Mary started driving before we hit Harrisburg and we had a little confusion with what route to take and got a little lost – but finally managed to make it to a spot we all recognized!

Jared slept in the backseat with his new best friend!

Schrute loves Jared – he has been at his side since we got home!

Last night was tough – he cried and whimpered – luckily the crate is far away from our bedroom and we can’t hear him too much!

This morning was also tough leaving him in a crate while we are at work – Gramma and Grampa Barden spent some time with him today to help with the loneliness!

Once April rolls around – I will be able to be home with him most days!
