Roadtrip!!!

These past few weeks have been so CRAZY!  On May 22nd Daniel accepted a job with Hewlett-Packard in Houston, Texas. His original start date was going to be June 4th!  We had no idea how we were going to be able to get out there that soon.  Luckily they pushed back Dan's start date to June 11th.

We were waiting to hear from the relocation company before we decided when to move.  We heard from them on June 4th.  From our conversation with them we decided to start packing that day.  With the help of family members we were able to pack up and clean by Tuesday evening.

Wednesday evening we drove to Kaysville and Bluffdale to say our goodbyes.  Wednesday morning at 6:00 am we left Bluffdale, Utah.  We drove for a total of 16 hours across Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and Kansas.  We stayed the night in  Salina, Kansas.  We knew we had hit the Bible Belt when we saw multiple "Trust in Jesus" billboards and anti-abortion billboards. Unfortunately we weren't able to stop and see the 7 foot Prairie Dog or the dozens of museums along the road.  I decided you know you live in a 'fly-over' state if you have a bunch of random specialized museums.

Thursday morning we left Salina, KS and drove for 12 hours through Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Friday morning we got a storage unit close to Dan's work and we loaded all of our stuff into it. We then got rid of the UHAUL and trailer that we used to tow our car!  We had to go into the scary part of town to do that. We were glad t get out of there.  Friday night we looked at apartments online and narrowed it down to 4 apartments.

Saturday we looked at apartments and found one!  We are hoping to move into Carrington At Champion Forest by Friday the 15th.

Thank you for all of your prayers during our trip!  We were truly blessed and we were just ahead of the storms that contained tornadoes.
