We made it!

We are here. We're really here. It was such a long time coming, it's crazy to actually be here. Twenty hours on the road - and the baby, the hubby, and the doggy all did great. We stopped overnight in Cheyenne and Des Moines and got here Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately our furniture couldn't come until Monday (tonight - alleluia!), so we've forgotten what it's like to sit down on a couch, on a bed or in a chair. Pull up some carpet! We also didn't think about bringing a shower curtain, towels, or even a blanket for our air mattress...so our first big trip to Costco and Target was a must. At least our electricity, water and heat were turned on!

On Sunday we were lucky enough to have been invited over to dinner from two different people, it being the night after we moved in we feel pretty lucky. Joel and Liz Hawkins we met at Christmas at our cousins ward, and they were so kind to have us over for dinner and make us feel so welcomed to the frozen over state of Minnesota (affectionately called "The Sota"). They are the nicest couple, and they have the cutest like 16 month old girl named Halle. Liz sent us home with a bunch of food, which was heaven sent since we only have cereal, milk, and grapes. Then we went to have some cake and ice cream at Brandon and Rachel Wrights apartment, some friends of a friend. They are an adorable couple with a little 13 month old little boy Corbin. Brandon also works for Target and has loved it. Olivia is so excited to have some friends!!

We can't wait to have our furniture, get settled in and explore the city this week. Ryan starts next Monday, and he can't wait to begin this new job and career opportunity! It amazes me how we have gotten to this point in our lives. We have been sooo blessed, and we can't wait to see what this phase of life will bring us.
