We Made It!

After a long day of packing and cleaning and an even longer day of traveling, we have made it safe and sound to our new home. We got here around 4:30 Thursday morning (thanks to some truck problems in Vegas, it took us 21 hours to get from Layton to Peoria...should have taken 12, maybe 13). There was a decent crew of guys here at 6:00am the same morning and less than an hour later, the truck was completely emptied. We are still, however, unpacking boxes! :)

It IS hot - Brychan keeps reminding us about it too. Everytime he goes outside, or we load him in the car, he says "hot" repeatedly. It doesn't stop him from wanting to play outside, though. And the heat must be draining him the same as it is David and I...every couple of hours we all need a nap, and we are totally taking advantage of the fact that right now we can get away with 2 or 3 naps a day! For the 4th, we took Brychan swimming at his Auntie Ashley's apartment (which he loved) and to one of the ball stadiums to watch fireworks. He loved those too! He kept clapping and occasionally tried reaching out to grab them. He also enjoyed meeting Aunties horse of a dog, Brutus.

Church today was also a lot of fun. It was nice seeing so many familiar faces and catching up with friends I figured I'd never see again. No doubt we will love this ward this time around just as much as I loved it last time!

We are still working on getting the phone up and running, but definitely drop us a line should you feel so inclined! I'll get photos up again one of these days!
