We Made It!!

I honestly feel like I have been disconnected from the real world for far too long! We finally got our internet set up today after almost a week of being here...it was torture not having it! We are moved in and settled and are soo happy to be home and back into our routine. It's been so long, Im not quite sure where to pick up from. Curtis worked the first week in August here in St. George and then we headed back to Arizona that Thursday afternoon. We stayed in Phoenix Friday since we were having family pictures taken by my sister in law's friend. They turned out really good and I'll post some as soon as I get them. We headed to our house on Saturday morning, leaving Taylor to play with her cousins while Curtis and I (along with Boston) headed back to finish the packing. We managed to finish packing and load the truck all by Sunday afternoon and were back in Phoenix Sunday evening. I was impressed, but we had a good headstart so there wasnt much left to pack. We didn't know anyone too well there so there was no one to help load except me....I did the best I could:) We headed out Monday morning splitting up the kids to make it easier one me. Taylor loved driving in the truck with Dad and being able to see everything. I kept Boston entertained with snacks, ridiculous singing and dancing, and as many binkis as I could find. It was a pretty smooth trip and we were happy to finally get here. We had a lot of help unloading which was a huge blessing and managed to get everyone asleep in their own bed that night! My mom arrived on Tuesday to help undue the madness that I literally packed up 2 days before! We had everything unpacked and in its place by that evening and most of the decor on the walls the following day....I cannot stand to live in boxes and the mess drives me batty! The kids are so happy to have their things back and I never thought I could be so excited to have carpet again! We got to go to church without the kids(Thanks Mom) and get a good idea of what our new ward would be like. We went from one extreme of having church at 8 in AZ to the other by having church at 2:30!!! It will take some getting used to but we are just soo happy to be here and done! And I do not plan on moving again for a very, very long time:) Here are some pictures of the last few weeks. The kids had a great time with cousins and we had our first visitors...my sister and her family are moving overseas for a couple years and stopped by for an afternoon to play!! I'll get some pictures up of our house soon as well as some pictures that we had taken.

It was so fun to see you and see your house. I hope it is not two years before you come to visit. If you come into a load of money, we sure would love to have you visit.
Love, Tara
