Moving to Utah

I know we have a picture somewhere of the moving truck...grrrr. Anyhow, we began the trip at 8am with Mel, me,Leavi, Kole and Kyzen. Jaydn wanted some extra time to say goodbye to his friends. It took Jaydn a while to come to Utah but he finally did. We drove for 18 hours stopping about every 2 hours for coke zero and restrooms...ha ha. We had McDonald's fro breakfast and Subway for lunch and snacks along the way. Kyzen and kole took turns riding in the moving truck that Mel graciously drove the entire way! I drove the white Toyota and we towed the red Honda behind the moving van. We nearly got all of the stuff I had in that truck but SADLY I had to leave behind my tanning bed...pause for a moment of silence ....still mourning the loss of my tanning bed...my friend:) The trip went off without a hitch but has anyone checked out gas prices??? ha ha ha I think the gas was as much as the rental:/ we pulled in at about 2am and pulled the mattresses out of the back of the truck, set them up and slept. Mel's daughter, Amber was so excited to see him she had to picked up at 7am the next morning...no rest for the weary...ha ha. It took me about 2 weeks to get everything unpacked and organized but I think we felt pretty well settled in at about week 2. The younger 4 minus Austin, who is only 4, started school Tuesday bright and early at 8am! We had to get all the kids uniforms and school supplies so Monday we took our $600 Walmart trip...whoo hoo! Great start to a new life!
