We made it

This is at my parents house.
 Then this is a shot through the window on the way to AZ.

This is beck and I helping Abbi and Hailey get ready for there fun dance Friday night! 

Look how gorgeous they are:

We made it after a very eventful trip here, It all starts with us leaving Portland and getting to Preston at 6 p.m. and my sister saying "Lets go play some ball tonight" so after sitting all day I went and played B.ball for a hour and realized how much I truly Love playing and miss it! I really haven't played in like 4 years.

Anyways woke up that next day to get my hair done and
my sister and I have a shopping day together. Then that night we had a fun game night with the fam, we played Curses it was SO fun and hilarious!!

Saturday we leave to go to see my Dad in Brigham and the car really sounded weird so Erik asked my dad and they took it to check the tires, So we got two new ones on the back and still theirs a sound. So next step took it to my dad's fixer, He said it was way to full of transmission fluid. So went to Jiffy Lube and they said "No its fine" And the fixer guy said it might be the bearings and so my step-brothers-in-law work on our car all day while I hang with my step sisters who I actually haven't met until then so it was a great day meeting family.  Well they changed both bearing in the front and got back to my dad's at 6p.m. but the sound was still there. So we woke up and went to Church with them and took off about 2. Hoping our car was not going to blow up on the way..

We stayed in Panguitch at my brother-in-laws parents house, it was really fun they are so nice.
Then we made it to Mesa that next day. We came into our apartment and it felt so small, which it is but now that I have everything in its fine, I have lots more kitchen room so that is nice, just no place to have my sewing machine or anything I would have in a craft room/office. But I love the location of it though. It looks out to the pool (the picture below) and I was thinking I would have to say go bye to the green but I didn't its VERY green! A big plus is Erik walks to work and I have a CAR!! There is a bunch of people in our ward her. And Ethan has already made a buddy! Who kinda lives at our house when he gets home from school... hmmm still don't know what I think about that..

Today at church the kids came out of class and said they loved there teachers and they were really funny, and Sadie said her's were silly! Lots of people came up to us and introduced themselves. It seems to be a very great ward. I'm excited to becoming apart of it.  Recap as of this week. week 2 already got a vt rout and lots more friendly people!

One crazy thing happend!! Alot of you know my friend Heather Miller well she has a twin.. And she came to my door and said.. Do I look familiar and then just gave her a big hug! Her best friend lives here who is the mom of the little guy Ethan is hanging out with!! SO SO small of a world!!

We are loving going on walks everyday and just hanging out outside! Its great! And I am already acclimatized I think!! Because I was cold tonight when I went outside, and it was probably 60! Oh Erik starts work tomorrow, yahoo good luck babe! And also my Mom made it back from Mexico feeling GREAT she had a great week up there with lots of energy to bring home! I'm excited for her, she said she even tried running, which she said she shouldn't have done because she had forgotten how to. I'm glad your home safe mom! Now come and see me ;) Before we move again!!
 

Here is from my living room and kitchen view, so you see we are right next to the pool, 
and do you see all those trees! And the nice blue ski!!

Here are the kids eating there oranges they picked off the tree tonight. And of course they could not just smile for me!
