Our trip to Utah

Finally we are back to blogging. I will do my best to update over the next few days.

On the 29th of December 2008 our packers came and packed our things up.

We cleaned and tied up a few loose ends around town for the next couple of days. Being pregnant and David still working we got some help with the cleaning. In my hast of tying up those loose ends, I backed out of the garage without looking and hit the car that belonged to the girl that was helping us. There wasn't a huge amount of damage so she quickly got an estimate of $200 and we took care of that before we left. There was probably some lack of sleep involved in that.

Our New Years Eve was spent at a local Denny's, shared a banana split and then went to bed. We got up the next morning and hit the road for Elko where we had reservations at a hotel. It was a long day but it would make the next day to Utah much shorter. We made it to Papa and Grammy's house in the late afternoon. The weather was really good for us. We had a little rain from Elko to Utah. We were so worried about snow crossing the mountains in California but the first day was nice and sunny.

Our cars were pretty packed because we had some disorganized movers that missed some things while packing. That is a whole other story.


Little Lucy!


Ginger riding with Daddy!

Carson and George with Callie in the backseat. The kids did a great job on the drive. The second day was a bit stressful but we all survived. Carson was sure to let everyone know at church during his testimony that first Sunday. I'm just grateful he went up on his own.

We are so grateful to finally be here and adjusting. And especially grateful to be at Papa and Grammy's for a while. Being here has greatly softened the stress of moving on all of us. We look forward to Papa and Grammy coming home from their mission in April. It has been fun to be with Aunt Diannah and spend time with Aunt Gina, Uncle Duncan and cousin Chloe. We have also gotten to see Aunt Nancy and meet her boyfriend, Kevin.
