Moving to California!

Jason and I have made it safely down to lovely California. We set the date to move for the end of July and we both could not believe how FAST that deadline came. The next thing we knew we were loading up the truck and driving to Cali. It's so fun to wake up and realize that we are here and have so many fantastic things waiting for us.

Here is a picture of Jason, Drew, and Matt with our moving truck. Since my company is paying for our moving costs we rented the biggest U-Haul they offer... which was SO big that we didn't even need most of it. When we filled it up we only did so half way and had plenty of room. Before we started filling it up the boys had to run up and down the ramp about a hundred times to make sure that it worked. I never thought a moving truck would be so much fun to the boys!

My sister was awesome at coming over and helping us get out of the apartment and worked so hard. She's quite a trooper!
We woke up at 4 am last Friday morning to drive down to California and move in our apartment. My parents and my brother, Eric, accompanied us down to California to help with the moving and saving our backs. We had the truck emptied into our new apartment before dinner time. We always are amazed at how much stuff we have, which isn't a ton but when you have to move everything it feels like too much!
We are now moved into our new apartment and are unpacking and putting our home back together. We enjoy doing this together and are so grateful that we moved down early so that we can have some time before Jason is off to law school.

Here is a picture of us being a bit exhausted from moving!

We will have to post pictures of the place when we are all settled in, but the picture at the top of the blog shows what the backyard looks like. We love our apartment and how nice the area is around it. We are so happy living down here!
