Surprise!!!

For all those who don't know - we've moved to Utah! Surprise!! Crazy, huh? It all happened so fast that I never got around to announcing it. And now I don't have my laptop, so I have to make time to sit down at my desktop computer...and with an 11-month-old that gets into EVERYTHING that she's not supposed to...it's a little difficult at times.

We left Virginia on March 22 and drove to Richmond to spend Easter with my sister, Brie, and her family, and my sister Liz and her boyfriend John. It was a great weekend, but really sad to leave them. We started off on Monday (after stopping by Costco and getting a new toy - a GPS!), and drove to Kentucky to stay with our friends John and Erin. After a wonderful dinner and playing some Wii/DS, we went to bed. Tuesday morning we packed up and drove until Kearney, NE! Our goal was to make it to Kansas City, MO that day, but we made it there at dinnertime (and ate at a great BBQ place, Arthur Bryant). And since Lily was being absolutely wonderful in the car, we decided to just keep on going! Wednesday morning we headed out first thing in the morning, and drove all the way to Cedar Hills, UT! 3 full days of driving, but it was definitely worth it.

We're temporarily living with Jonny's parents in Cedar Hills while we look for a house (or, a place to live). I don't mind living with them, but I really want to have a place of my own, so we're trying to find something soon! :)

Well that's it in a nutshell!

(Oh my goodness...I'm such a goober! I wrote this on Friday morning - April 18, and I never published it. Now it's Saturday night...dork.)
