The Big Move!

Well, We're in Salt Lake City. We had a great drive from Denver to Gunnison Wednesday night and then a really long but pretty drive from Gunnison to Salt Lake on Friday. We enjoyed a day in between the drives to relax and nap. It was really nice to have the help of my parents (and to have Dad drive the whole way from Gunnison to SLC!).

The apartment we're renting is furnished nicely and they have a weekly cleaning service! Yay! I still have a bit of organizing to do to figure out how to make it home but it's going to be a nice place to spend a few months while we look for a house.

This morning was Addy's first Easter and we visited a local Christian church. Addy had her first experience in the nursery and she did great (after only about a 30 min morning nap!). She played with the toys and watched the other toddlers run around.

After church we had lunch with my Aunt Deb and Uncle Scott at the Garden Cafe at the Grand America Hotel in downtown. Wow! There were even chandeliers in the bathroom stalls! The food was amazing and Addy joined us with some avocado and squash. She didn't make it all the way through lunch though, she sacked out on my shoulder. I know I'm partial but she is darn cute!

Mom and Dad just left so we're working on getting settled. Brad is gearing up for starting his new job tomorrow and I'm gearing up for a good lonely cry. :) We're having a hard time believing that we live here . . . It's going to be quite an adventure and we have a lot to learn about the local culture and way of life.

Thanks for your prayers. Please pray that we'd find a church home and a house soon. Also, please pray for wisdom for Brad in his new role and for a surge of extroversion for me! :)

Enjoy our video of our move.

  1. Hey guys! so glad you made it safely. SLC sounds really beautiful and I know you'll be able to call it home as oon as you get settled in.
