We're Here...

...'cause we're not all there. (A good 'ol Grandma Jessie saying.) Yes, we're officially residents of Eagle Mountain - where we live at the end of the earth!! We moved our stuff in on late Wednesday night. I can't thank all of our family and friends enough who helped move us - especially to those who stayed extra late and helped us load up the second time. We couldn't have done it without you, so thanks to the guys and gals that helped and especially to the wives who lent out their husbands at the late hours.
We moved on Wednesday, spent the night at Bryan's parents, and then started unpacking Thursday. And...WE'RE DONE!! Yes, we finished unpacking yesterday and I can't tell you how excited and relieved I am. I was a little overwhelmed at the idea of UNpacking as all of our JUNK was being loaded on the truck. I'm not one to horde and hang on to things, so I didn't think we had a lot of stuff; but when I saw it being loaded and unloaded, I wanted to cry. Good thing I had Karlee there as we were unloading, to give me a hug and tell me it was okay. However, once we got it in the house and I started unpacking, things went quickly and we really don't have TOO much. Now it's on to the basement. YUCK!! That is definitely something I am not looking forward to organizing. I am, however, excited to decorate! Let the good times roll...

Today was our first day of church and the ward is definitely made up of a different dynamic. It's HUGE compared to our other ward and there are three nurseries - we just kind of picked one to put Jace in. It should be interesting and fun. Maybe Enrichment and volleyball will give me a chance to meet some "sisters." Good times ahead....
I told Marissa the other day that I didn't know I would be trading places with her. When she lived in St. George she lived on a hill with LOTS of dirt and weeds, scorpions, and lizards. Well, yep, that's me now. We have neighborhood kids come to our yard looking for lizards (we've seen a few around the yard), and we had a dead scorpion in our garage, and I cannot BELIEVE the amount of dust that gets in our house. I think that the black countertops and cabinets are going to drive me crazy because I can always see the dust. I guess I'll just have to lighten up on my neat-freak-ishness. Anywho...
I've had some requests to put up pictures, so since you've already seen the bareness of the house, I'll post some pictures when I get things put up on the walls. We'll see what adventures Eagle Mountain brings us!! (And we're not THAT far away, so you still can visit us, Karlee!)
