The Move


Well we were in Arizona for about 3 days -
day one was spent unloading our uhaul and reloading it into the exact same trailer type thing (what they call a storage unit) in the 95 degree weather.

day two - we searched for housing. Narrowed our search to our top three and now we can't decide. So looks like we'll just wait until we get back to Arizona. (but for those of you in Logan - we're paying double what we paid there. how awesome is that...yeah).
day three - we headed to St. Louis for Johnathan and Grace's sealing and the beginnings of our month with Fred's family.
However, while we were in Arizona I loved it. I can't wait to get back and settle in.
Thanks Ashley & Tyler and Kecia & Brian for letting us stay at your houses!!

Where's Waldo?

Are we in Utah? Arizona? Missouri? Arkansas?

We're in one of these states although, I'm not sure we know where we are right now!

The Journey

Well we've left Logan. It was really sad for me and I might have teared up a little. Huge thanks to our friends you came to help haul, clean, and shove boxes into vehicles. Good news - somehow we got it all to fit.

We drove down to my parents house where we stayed until Sunday morning so we could do some last minute family time, hangouts, and Utah errands.



Then we left bright and early Sunday morning to head to Pheonix. The drive took us two extra hours with the giant truck and it was a freaking beast to fill up. The greatest victory was the 60 miles of downhill coming out of Flagstaff - that's 60 miles that kept the truck on Full - woot!



But we're here now and its perfect. literally...

Last Week


Today marks our last Monday in Cache Valley. On the drive back from my parents it hit me a little - it was our last time driving to Cache Valley until...who knows when. I'll be back for work which is nice but possibly never again together and most likely we'll never call this place home again.

I won't get teary...I won't...until Friday
(post script: I forgot to post this yesterday - now its Tuesday and it snowed. a lot. I'm ready to move now.)
(post post script: We hung out with our friends for the last time tonight. We've decided to kidnap all of them and bring them to AZ with us. Anyone have tranquilizers?)

Chicago Part Dos

Waiting for the train


The Flags on Michigan Avenue

Mmm Ghirardellis!


Fall in Chicago is gorgeous...

Millennium Park Theater

I love the contrast in the trees and the leaves



The Bean

Chicago Clouds (my favorite picture)

I was more excited to see this than a Monet
And last but not least...



Chicago was really fun minus the rain. I also wish Freddie pants was there with me (it would have been even better). Oh and I wish it wouldn't have looked like I was dating my coworker. That was awkward.

Business Trippin'

This week I'm in Chicago with work. I'm at a killer marketing conference that makes my brain want to explode.

I got here on Tuesday night, so my coworker Dru and I headed out on the town for some pizza at the Original Uno's Pizza.

At Uno's you order your pizza first (because the pizza takes an hour to bake) and then we waited over an hour for a seat (they told us it'd be 35-45 minutes). Once inside - we waited another hour for our pizza.


This is my bored/feed me face. Good thing I downloaded the best app ever that let me take all these cool pictures!! (shake it photo)




We ordered too much pizza. Yet we still ate a lot of it - and it wasn't that great.


After pizza we walked around a bit and I snagged these great shots...





Almost looks like an LDS temple...but it isn't.

Be prepared for another post or two and you know what a business trip means...
something like this.
or this.

What Not to do...

While you're on Accutane - do not get your eyebrows waxed. More than eyebrows comes off...

Lets not talk about how my eyes look really droopy

Or super swollen.
