So, with Mike already out in Utah the actual move was up to me.....with some much needed and blessed help from Mike's parents. To say the moving truck was full is nearly an understatement. If we have learned anything from this we have learned that we have WAY too much stuff and will be really focused on downsizing. We had a great crew of brethern from church that came to help pack the truck. I'm so grateful to each of them and their families for taking time away to help me. What a blesssing the church is! So, after much work from the brethern somehow they were able to fit everything into our truck. (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!)
Our road trip to Utah was long and full of sick cranky children and by the end a very cranky Rachel. (Thank you Molly for not killing me...seriously, I felt like I was a huge monster by the end!) Molly drove most of the way. I was so thankful to have her there to help me. Since the kids both had croup they weren't sleeping well at night, especially Kaitlyn. So, not sleeping didn't work well with driving. Molly never complained...and I'm so thankful for you, Molly!
A few days before we left Marquis had come down with Croup....I took him to the ER and they prescribed a steriod. At the time I thought Why???? Why is he getting sick right now and why did he have to go to the ER? Marquis has had croup several times before and only once before this time did I have to take him to the ER. Then during our trip...I found out why he needed to go to the hospital. Kaitlyn woke up one night gasping for air and had the classic croup cough. I had the medicine they gave Marquis and since Kaitlyn gets croup often I knew what dosage she would need. I was able to give her a dose of medicine and kept us from having to go to the ER...which would have been difficult since we were in the middle of Wyoming.
All in all our trip went really well. For the most part the kids did great and were entertained by our much loved portable DVD player. We came into Utah Sunday morning and were in Provo by 3pm. We are getting settled and love our new apartment. Our location is perfect for Mike's commute to work and close to lots of shopping and places to go. We love it here!

YAY!!! Now for pics of the new apt!
So glad you made it in one piece, if just barely.
So many new adventured await! Where in Provo are you? Is it surreal to be back since that is where you both met??
Mary, we just stopped in Provo because that's where Mike's Grandparents live. We actually live in Holladay. It's about 15 min south east of temple square. We love it here!
