Just a quick little entry & update. The final stages of packing and loading were an adventure. Thanks to everyone who helped us get on our way. It was very difficult to leave the comfort and safety of our little neighborhood! (We miss you Clarks, Tupas and Amundsens!) I had to choke back the tears the entire way through Phoenix. My little Brother (who flew down to help us drive the vehicles) probably thought I was pretty pathetic. We left AZ on Saturday evening & stayed with our cousins at their family cabin in Flagstaff. (Thank you Rhoners for letting us crash in on you last minute!). The drive up to Utah was basically uneventful. My little Bro drove the pickup truck towing the U-haul trailer (we had to pick the U-haul up last minute because we have so much crap) and my Hubby drove the Penske truck that was towing my Maxima. My little Bro was creative enough to place a Nerf dart to the back window of my car before leaving our house in Gilbert, AZ... and it made it the whole way to Utah!!! I have a few pictures of it along the way I'll publish soon. We arrived around 8 pm Sunday night and had some members of the Elders quorum of our new ward come help unload the Penske early Monday morning in the freezing cold.
My Hubby had his interview with the Fire Chief yesterday afternoon and got the position as part time fire fighter with the Lehi Fire Department. Last night he went to the new hire orientation and brought home his very own fire fighter gear. Pants, jacket, boots and hat!!! He was pretty excited about that!
I went for my final appointment and interview with Timpanogos hospital and signed paperwork with them this morning. I just have to wait a week for my background check and drug screening and I will officially be employed! So as you can see, things are going well.
We still have a TON of unpacking and organizing to do!!! But that too will come.
We miss all of our friends in Arizona! You are all welcome to come up and visit anytime! I'll keep posting updates if anything new arrises!
