Welcome to Utah!

Well, after almost 2 weeks, we are officially moved in, organized, and Utahns! It has been a busy couple of weeks and we are exhausted, but things are done! The house is organized (except for the basement) and today we got Utah license plates and drivers licenses. What an ordeal! It's been totally worth it, though. We know this is where we are supposed to be and have felt very welcome here. The neighbors have been very generous bringing over all sorts of treats and the ward has been very welcoming. We are looking forward to getting to know more people and getting involved in the community and ward. It's so interesting to look back and see all the things that brought us to this area and know that it's been totally worth it. We have been so blessed and are so grateful for everything that we've been given.

Well, here are some pictures of the kids, our house and of our car with Utah plates! Weird, huh?
Caleb loves to swing!

Your home is beautiful guys, congratulations! I bet it feels good to be moved in and settled down. Too bad you have to be Utards though :)

Oh my gosh.....it's beautiful. I have to say that my favorite room is that huge kitchen. I think that stems from having had the crappiest teeniest little kitchen for the past 2 1/2 years. Blech!!

Gosh, I can't wait to move.

Oh, your house is so cute! How lucky! I am dying to get into a house soon and I dream of letting Claire swing in our own backyard! How lucky you are! It must be SO nice to be where you know you are supposed to be and finally get all settled in. Enjoy it!!
