Moving!

We did it!! We finally moved. We packed up all of our earthly belongings, and on a rainy and wet April 25, 2009 we loaded everything on a big Budget truck and headed out to Arizona.


















We had so many friends, neighbors, and family come help us get everything out of the house and packed on the truck. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came and helped! We could not have done it without all of you.
Allen had the truck packed so well that we still had lots of room left in the truck. After everything was packed we had lots of help from family to clean out the house and do last minute fix-ups. We spent the night at my mom and dad's house. It was so nice of them to have us in their home and took really good care of us. The next morning we finished some last minute things at the house and we jumped in the big truck and took off. Michael was amazing and drove our car down with so we could all be together in the truck. It took us 12 hours to get to AZ. I didn't have my camera, so all I had was blurry pictures from my phone.












Aiden was amazing on the long 12 hour trip. I couldn't believe how good he was. We only stopped 2 times. I think he cried once. He just loved being in that truck. I think he liked being right next to dad and mom, and he could see out the big windshield! He was an angel!!
We got to AZ late, and Larry and Diane had us stay the night at their house. It was so kind of them to have us stay!! The next day we unloaded all of our stuff into a storage shed. We were able to find a condo to rent that very day and moved in. It is completely furnished, which is nice so we didn't have to unpack all our stuff. We are only going to be here until we find a house.
I usually dread moving, but I must say that we were so incredibly blessed with tons of help on our move. It wasn't bad at all. Thanks again to everyone! We love and miss all our friends and family in Utah (and Idaho). We look forward to our new adventure here in sunny AZ!
