Our Move

On our way through the Rockies. There is the moving truck.

Our cabin.

We were so excited to get to Utah after 5 days of 14 hour driving. We had snowstorms on our tail, and we tried to dodge them (it was snowing all day the day we moved and the day we loaded up). We felt like we did a good job starting out, but the largest snowstorms were just ahead and we caught one after a minor mishap early one day. On the freeway we ended up doing about 25 MPH. It was awful! It felt like no progress.

Towards the middle, I was feeling so worn out and tired of driving, so it was great to see Andy and Sara Griner in Kansas to break up the routine. We hadn't seen them in years, so it was more fun than we had time for. We tried to get some sleep, and did with their great accommadations! Thanks Andy and Sara and family.

The last day was quite a day knowing we planned on getting there, but also getting to Shaun's parents (the final resting until we get a house), at 11:30 PM. It was excruciating for me! I was so tired at 7 PM. But once we got out of the Spanish Fork Canyon, I saw light... literally. It was great to see cities again.

The next day we still had to unload and get somewhat settled, but I am so glad for the holidays and more especially for family that makes it so special!

Lobstah and Loading

So we leave next weekend! We're staying at Shaun's parent's home in Layton, until we can find our own place to leave. We'll act fast as we do have kids that need to be in school too.

Because we are leaving so fast, we are trying to get in everything we can and getting in all the activities we can. I know we'll miss this place, as we already do. It's been so fun and so different than anyplace we've lived before. I love it!

Here we are cooking our own lobstah, as they call it here. Everyone drops their "r"s. Except our friends here Leah and Jim Danala and Nick and Janelle Baser. We've loved getting to know them here! Great friends for life!

Oh, and the lobster, was Awesome!
