We Made It!

Well, we made it to Idaho! What a week! I am so glad it is over. Everything with the move went really smoothly thanks to our awesome families! Eric's parents and brother Ryan helped us load the truck on Thursday, we spent Friday in Utah County and then my parents helped us unload the truck in Idaho on Sat while my brother Andrew kept Adam busy. Before my parents left on Sunday we were pretty much settled, with a few minor things to unpack and organize. I am glad to have it mostly done. We really only have pictuers to hang up and we are done! Adam has done really well with everything going on. We set up his big boy bed the first night here and he has done pretty well with it. My biggest challenge is that he can get out, so naptime tends to be a battle. He loves his new big boy room and spend hours playing with his toys.
He had a hard night our last night in St George. This picture is him eating his lunch on what we left out of his bed. On Thursday night we slept on the floor of our living room in St George and by 1:30am he was in hysterics because he wanted his whole bed and his bedroom. Finally at 3am, Eric took Adam's mattress up to his empty bedroom and Adam went right to sleep. This kid likes his space. So far I LOVE Idaho! It is beautiful here and I love the area we live in! We had a rude awakening this morning when Eric went to work. This is how we found his car! Yes my friends, that is SNOW!!! Let me remind you all that it is JUNE 11!! The high today is only supposed to get to 53 degrees-a far cry from the 97 degrees we had last week in St George. Needless to say we are wearing socks and long sleeve shirts today. It is supposed to warm up later this week. I am planning on a rough winter. Other than that, I am excited to be here and start our life in Idaho. It has been so wonderful to have Eric work "normal" hours and come home happy and with enough energy to play with us. That will be the best thing about this move!
We feel very blessed to have had everything work out so well with the move and the opportunity for Eric to get this new job. The Lord has been very mindful of us and we are grateful for it! Come visit us in beautiful Idaho! We would love to see you!!!
