We're settled for now...

I finally found some time to sit and update the blog. We will nowhere near meet Jani's posting frenzy (Nice job, Jani!). The move is done and we are all alive. We definitely couldn't have done it without the help of family and friends. Amazingly enough, the truck was locked and loaded within 2 hours. Thanks to the men from the ward who showed up on their day off. Thanks to Kyle and Mindy for helping out in more ways than one can imagine. We will surely miss you guys! Thank you Darin and Kali for driving down. The girls are still talking about how much fun they had entertaining Kylie throughout the trip. Thanks Nate for sacrificing time away from your wife and kids to help out. Thanks Jani for allowing Nate to come down. We all decided that you had the hardest job of all. Thanks Lori for the support. We know under different circumstances you would have been there too. Mandy for checking in for moral support. Mom and Dad in Canada for the many phone calls to calm my troubled nerves. And last but certainly not least - Mom and Dad here who are going to be closer to us in the next couple of months than they probably want. We are looking forward to being close to family.

It's good to hear that you are settled in. Kinley told me that Ashlee said all the girls in her class are nice. Plus she gets to start school at 9! Ugh. Kinley still leaves at the crack of dawn. And is she in the same school with Allysa and Halie (sorry, Im not sure how to spell their names)? That is a sweet memory to make if all three girls are in the same school.
We miss you! It makes me sad everytime I drive past your house or look outside...the neighborhood is empty. Christian mentions everyday that its sad we dont pick up Halie and Allysa for school...at least he has a nice Xbox to entertain him now (which he loves!).
We will keep checking this blog to see whats up.
The last few days have been BEAUTIFUL here but you can brag to us in the summer.

Glad you guys got moved ok and that you are settled. In my opinion, moving is never fun. But I am glad you had friends and family to help you out. Thank goodness for family, right? You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm sad you had to move, again. But we are excited to have you close again. Which side of the freeway Lehi are you in? We live really close to Lehi, Saratoga... Let me know where you live and when you are settled for real so we can get together!!
