Our Move part 1




So it has been a while since I have updated the blog since we have been in the process of moving across country. I will start way back in Jan when we left my beloved Mobile. The packers were extremely slow. It took them over 12 hours to pack our stuff up. The funny thing was that it only took less than 6 hours for the movers to pack it on their 18 wheeler. It was sad to see all our stuff in boxes and our house bare. I still have a hard time writing about it. You can tell that Chris was ready to leave since he was actually CLEANING!! LOL! We left on a Tuesday and our stuff arrived in Utah the following Wednesday(NOT BAD!!) Our movers had stops in Jacksonville Florida and Dallas Texas before they got to drop our stuff off in Utah. They were then off to Washington State!

I am BACK

Well we finally have internet at our new house. It isnt perfect since the computer is on the dining room table because our basement is not finished yet. I am now the new owner of a green dell laptop thanks to my honey. He told me he was going to get me one when we got here so we wouldnt be competing for time on the computer. Well it should be here tomorrow or Tuesday. The last week has been a complete blur. We are in the house and I am about 90 percent done with the upstairs. Our basement is turning into a large room that will store my scrapbook stuff, computer and toys. So with that said, we have alot to do once the room is done.
Emily started school on Friday last week. She is doing relatively well. I think she is like me, it hasnt quite set it that we are here and all of you are there. Oh and we finally got a home phone hooked up today. We were going to use just cell phones but opted against that. I am still looking for camera cord to upload some photos for yall.
I have visited four scrapbook stores since my arrival but I havent been in the mood to really buy stuff. I have seen the new American Crafts thickers FINE FINE FINE!! The new MME Penny Lane is also FINE FINE FINE. But I am waiting for a week or two because that is what the store owners are telling me for arrival times on new CHA products. I cant even begin to explain the quanity of products out here! If you need something tell me and I will definately be able to find it for you. Gotta go since the hubby is waiting for computer time.

She needs a SHOT!!

So we went to try to enroll Emily in school yesterday and found out she cant be enrolled until she gets another vaccination. Utah requires a HEP A shot and she doesnt have that. I thought maybe she did since she was born in Virginia but no such luck. SHe is not looking forward to getting one either. I think she would rather stay at home instead of getting a shot and going to school. Luckily, Lynne is going to take us to the HEalth Department in Sandy. Then it will be off to school for my girlie : )

Lynne's cool sign


I have told a few of you about this cool sign that Lynne has made in her house. I loved this sign the minute I walked through the door of her house. You take a piece of wood, paint it and then add vinyl letters. THese letters are cut from your cricut. She has some cool photos of each of her children under the sign. Ok SIstahs you know you want to make one of these.

Arches National Park UT




So we are finally in Utah. Yesterday we stopped at the Arches National Park in Moab, Utah. We didnt get to spend as much time as we would have liked but it was fun and beautiful. Once we are settled we will have to travel back about 3 hours to see this magical place again.
