Well, here we are!

We've finally moved to Cleveland. Lafe and his dad drove the moving truck and arrived here on Thursday. I flew in with Stetson and my mother-in-law on Friday night. By the time I got here, everything was already moved in! My wonderful husband and father-in-law were exhausted, to say the least, but I still made them go with me at midnight to pick up my pre-ordered copy of Harry Potter.

Lafe, his dad and our friend Clayton hauled everything up a narrow flight of stairs. Unfortunately, my armoire and bookcase did not fit. But with some creativity, the box springs for the bed and our couch did!

We are missing our friends and family back home so much.
However, there are things that we already love about Cleveland...

...the weather!! It's 70 degrees outside, overcast and breezy.
Here's a picture at the lake. It was so relaxing to just sit and watch the water.


...living close to church history sites. We're only 20 minutes from Kirtland, so we visited the temple and the Whitney store area while Lafe's parents were here.


...Target, yes, Target. There is a two-story Target here with an escalator and a cart-carrier. It's amazing. You should come visit us just so you can see it. Two floors of Target goodness!!

...all of the trees -- there are entire streets covered in trees here.

Movin' Right Along

Stetson is so excited!

The house is packed, the truck is loaded, and we are just days away
from completing our cross-country move to Cleveland.
We will miss all that we are leaving behind in Mesa,
but we are looking forward to the adventures that lie ahead.
A big thanks to everyone who helped us load the truck!



This picture is actually from the 4th of July. It was so cute; we had to share it!
