The Big Move!

Well, we are finally here in Virginia and moved in! I feel like my life has been in a whirlwind the past few weeks. My parents came out to Tennessee to watch the kids while Aaron and I went to NYC for our 10th anniversary. We had a wonderful time, by the way (thanks mom and dad). Then we came home and had a week to pack and get out of there. My parents helped out soooo much and we are forever greatful. It was hard because between all the packing, we had to keep the house looking good just in case someone came to look at it. It was tough. Well, we finally got packed up and the day arrived to load the truck. We hired some guys to load the truck and they did a great job at using every square inch, but we still ran out of room! So after a lot of stressful debating about what to do, we decided to rent a small trailer and my dad would drive the car we were going to drag behind the truck with us to Virginia then he would fly home the next day to Utah. It was very last minute because my dad had a flight from Tennessee to Utah the day we left for Virginia, but thankfully he was willing to make the seven hour drive with us.
Another crazy thing - about two days after moving in, both of our computers crashed and we found out how much we actually use those things! We got the desktop fixed, but the laptop is a goner! We also got an offer on the house and we were very excited to get that out of the way, but it never went through. Arrrrggggg!! Now back to square one.
All in all, we love our new house! It's in a beautiful quiet area and the kids love all the trees and room to explore. We think we will have a fun year here and you all are more than welcome to visit!

Here are a bunch of moving pictures

Notice the Budget truck and Uhaul trailer!

Out with the old...
