Well, we are in Arizona. We got here last night. It was the worst trip ever!!! Satan did not want us to make it here. I say that, because it was the spirit that helped us make the decision to move here. We got our truck on Thursday and loaded it up. We had lots of help and everything went great. Or so we thought. We were going to drive to Kaysville that night, just to get a few hours out of the way. Loading the truck took too long though, so we decided to sleep at my mom and dad's. (We bought a freezer a few months ago.) So we decided to put a few more things in the freezer when we got to my mom and dad's, and when my dad opened the freezer, everything came crashing out. My dad thinks it broke one of his toes. Anyway, we had put way too much ice in the freezer and the shelves couldn't hold the weight. All the shelves fell, causing all the pipes to be torn out. It completely destroyed our freezer and we didn't have renters insurance. Smart Huh!? So we cut our losses and had fun with the fam. The next day, Friday, we got up and left by 8:30. Things were going good. Mark drove the 24 foot truck pulling the chevy behind it and I drove the mazda. We stopped in Provo to say goodbye to my brother, Jason. He told us where we could park the truck, but there was a sign marked permit parking only. Jason thought it would be fine cause we just went to get a quick lunch and the parking lot was empty. When we got back, the moving truck and the mazda both had a boot on the them. So we got stuck in Provo for around 3 hours. Once we got back on the road, the trucks fuel filter light came on, so we had to stop and get a hold of Budget to see what we should do. That took about 45 min. They told us to just drive to our hotel in St. George and that they would send someone over to fix it there. So we got to our hotel at 10:00pm. We called Budget and they said that they would send someone over. We waited and waited! Finally they got it taken care of and we went to bed at around 2:00am. So we got up late and didn't even get on the road until 10:30. Saturday went pretty well, but we got lost a few times. Ha Ha We got to our storage unit at around 7:30pm and there was a lot of family there to help us. We unloaded really fast and luckily nothing was broken. We hadn't eaten all day, cause we left so late that we just wanted to keep driving so we could get here at a good time. So even though Satan didn't want us to get here, the spirit got us here safely. So at midnight, we went to Denny's. Ha Ha Now we are all settled in with Mark's grandparents. We'll be looking for jobs now and a house to buy. Hopefully those things will happen quickly.
Well, there's our update.
