The Big Move

Now that we have been settled for about 2 months I think it is about time I start blogging again. What an adventure we have had. My mom flew into town for her last time to help drive back with us. She was awesome and helped us pack up boxes, watch kids and clean. We probably could have used her a few days earlier, because we weren't as far along with the packing as we had thought. Our awesome neighbors came over to help us for a bit which we truly appreciated.The "move" that we thought would only take Saturday/Sunday took longer than expected. Nate did an amazing job packing the truck. I think he used about every square inch of it. We had planned to leave around 9am on Sun
day but ended up hitting the road around 4:30pm with a very packed truck, car and a extra trailer.







Nate took the big truck with Izzy and Allie and I towed the trailer with the kids, my mom and May. It was quit the adventure. The plan was to drive through the night, but by 2am we decided it was not save anymore so we stopped in St George to get some good sleep. Nate decided to drive on and slept on the side of the road a few times and made it to my mom's early the next morning.

So we still had not found a place to stay, so Tuesday morning Nate and I headed up to Heber, Midway and some place called Wanship to check out some homes. The first house that we looked at was in Wanship (Past park city, about 8 miles south of Coalville). It is a log cabin type home up this beautiful canyon with lots of land and wildlife around. Nate was really excited about this one, because every time he called the homeowner she was on the river fly fishing. So after checking out a few other homes, we decided on this home in wanship. The lady was still living in it, so we kind of had to move some stuff in while she moved out. So Saturday of that week we officially moved in. We were glad to finally be able to find all of our things and not be living out of a suitcase.

The house has two bedrooms down stairs and two upstairs with a large playroom/loft, drawing room and beautiful views.

Carter is super excited that we have 2 sets of stairs





We like it here! There are tons of deer every day and our neighbor has horses, so carter is loving it.

Are you kidding me??? That house is freaking AWESOME! Packing and Moving is something that I am not a fan of, but the good part is that you can purge, and then have fun organizing your new place. Glad your mommy came to help you. Cindi, it looks like an amazing adventure, so different from the saguaro's and lizards running around. They'll always be a little Arizona longing in your heart, but that place looks magnificent!
