310 to Yuma

Sean finished up at the Academy in New Mexico on April 7th and on April 8th he flew home to Idaho Falls. We got to spend one week together in Idaho. We spent the time visiting with family and friends and saying goodbye to our beloved Roberts II Ward. With the help of Kim and Lisa we were able to load our things from the storage unit into the moving truck and I packed up all our things that we had taken to my parents house. It was a very full moving truck to say the least. It was hard to say goodbye to our families, but we were excited for out new adventure.

On April 15th we pulled out of Idaho Falls and headed south. We stopped in Provo to visit my brother Stuart and Kathryn. It was Sean's first time meeting his new sister-in-law. Then we continued on down to St. George. We stayed at my Aunt Leslee's house and got to see my cousins Jarom and Kambria and both of their sweet families while we were there. After a little tire trouble with the moving truck we hit the road again the next day. It was all new territory for me from south of Las Vegas. Sean drove the moving truck the whole time, and I drove our car with the kids in the back. Both June and Jack were great travelers. I don't think I could have asked them to be any better. We pulled into Yuma around 7:30 pm and we all were so excited to be there! We explored the house (which is very lovely) and went to get a quick bit to eat. Then Sean and I unloaded the entire moving truck by ourselves. The truck had to be back the next morning, so it had to be done. Surprisingly it only took us 1 1/2 hours. It took us days to unpack all the boxes and to get things looking more like "home," but we are loving being here. The ward members have been very welcoming and nice and our neighborhood is great. The warm weather is the best part - swimming, long walks in the evening, breakfast on the patio, wearing shorts everyday - I am falling in love with Arizona.

Here are some pics of our trip. Sean and the kids ready to say goodbye to Idaho for awhile.
