We're not in Kansas anymore....

.....or Utah, or Wyoming, or Nebraska, or Iowa, or Illinois, or Indiana, or Ohio, or Pennsylvania, or New York, or Massachusates but we were! (all except for the Kansas part) and its been an adventure. The drive was actually awesome. I was worried about it since i complain about driving from Logan to Manti but this was fun. It was fun to be with John for that long....all day everyday.... we had a good time. We took I90 up through the top of New York, it was awesome because we were able to stop in Kirtland Ohio and Palmyra. We walked through the sacred grove and it was so neat. We also were able to stop by the temple for a few pictures. It was a good trip but last night we were sure ready to be done and then we were! We arrived around 11:00 pm and moved into our awesome new nice apartment. We're excited to be here and John was excited to go out and start selling today, i guess we'll see how that went when he gets home! Anyway, here's a few pic's of the drive, this is what our car door looked like before we left. I didn't take a picture of it at the end but i'll just way all of that stuff was gone the first day and now the door is stuffed full of maps...
This is all in Kirtland, when we got there all the missionaries were in church so we gave ourselves a tour, it was fun ;)

This is the Palmyra temple above and below is John and I in Joseph Smith's home

Someday i'll take some pictures of our new home but for now, we'll call this good. Just know that it is absolutly beautiful! We've got a forest in our backyard and its been wet and rainy since we've been here, it just makes everything so green. We're loving the new scenary and i even ventured out by myself today to the grocery store, it was fun.

I am a little jealous. New adventures are so fun and I love living in a new place. It's great to be able to do that for several months and still come back to all you stuff and friends and FAMILY. I wish John the best of luck in selling. Who would ever turn him down, he is so good.

I'm so glad you guys got to play a little on your way there, and that you made it there safely. You better be a really good blogger, since your clear across the country! I love you!

glad you got there safely. what a fun trip! john looks like jason so much in these pictures. you two are just way too cute together.

okay so here is what i have been doing a lot of.... laying out at the pool. hahaha. its fun because we live right by it. honestly though moving in was a big job because we all had to move twice. since then i have been filling out applications, printing my resumes and taking them around and i just started interviewing. i know that the other wives that aren't planning on getting a job are spending their time... at the pool, working out every day, reading, sewing... cleaning... and just finding fun stuff to do. for example there is the worlds largest flea market on saturday so i know everyone is doing that. i'm just rambling on right now but just trying to give you more ideas? maybe you already do all these? i don't know. i bet its hard with it being rainy all the time. i feel like the days go by way faster here than they did in d.c. so i haven't had a lot of boring time. ? how is john doing?
