It's been a while...


Hey all!  Sorry it's been a while.  We survived our drive to UT and we are getting settled.  It feels weird though - kind of a mix between extended vacation and moving.  Wow, I guess I don't have much to say.  I've been feeling so blog-negligent, though.  Tom and I are headed out for a late dinner date (kids in bed, Gma baby-sit...ah, yeah)-so maybe my thoughts are suffering because of low blood sugar.  Here's a quick trip update:

Saturday:  Left four hours later than planned...drove until 2am.  We've never done through the night driving-it's awesome.  I just can't say enough about sleeping kiddos.  

(Here's Ellie's new talent...double binky's.)

Sunday:  Arrived in Denver in time for Sunday dinner.  It was great to spend time with Tom's family.  I loved watching the cousins play together.   I am glad we'll be so much closer, we hope to visit much more frequently.  I just can't say enough about family.

Monday:  We finally arrived in UT!  I hope to never do the MN-UT drive with little kids again.  Too long!  I am glad to be here.  I love the mountains.  It warms my heart to look around and see the beautiful vistas.   I just can't say enough about the mountains.

So, we are here.  The boys were able to get a pool day in before the weather cooled down.  We are ready for summer... (but I'm sad we've missed out on Spring this year.)

I'm glad your drive went well. I remember my parents driving through the night to get to Grandma's -- I don't think I actually knew how beautiful the countryside was until college. Happy settling!

I did get your phone call -- I'll call soon.
