730 Miles Later

          Utah       to      Arizona

We moved to Arizona on December 12&13. Devin drove the U-haul with the Jeep behind it and I drove the truck all 730 miles. It took us about 14 hours, we got a really early start and then of course we had problems with the Jeep and ended up having to completely take apart the drive shaft...  Thank goodness my dad knew how too!  and now Devin does too:)  We drove to Devin's friend Andrew and his wife Lanae's house to stay the night before we moved into the apartment. Andrew and Lanae are awesome!  they are really good friends to us. December 13th we went over to our new apartment building and we didn't know that it was a one way street... so we drove the U-haul in and we got stuck...  And we found out that my jeep didn't survive, we parked him out in the back and haven't driven it since:(  We tried driving the U-haul out into this field that was out behind the apartments to make a loop and turn around annnnnd.... of course it was raining!  downpour of the century! And it had been raining for 2 days.  We thought we could wait it out, we asked 'Suri' (Lanae's iPhone) and it said it would be raining till Sunday...  it was Tuesday.  So we ended up call a tow truck and we got it all figured out. It was a crazy day, but we kept going.  We had Michelle and Bruce, Derek, and Andrew and Lanae helping us move our things from the U-haul to our upstairs apartment.  We had no power and it was freezing!  So we put our bed together by candlelight and snuggled close, haha it was terribly romantic. Then the next day the rain stopped we got our power going we got some food, things were definitely looking up(except the cockroaches that we are now living with, and no matter what we try and do they will not go away..) but now that that is 3 months behind us I can actually laugh about it, I was not in a laughing mood then..  We have since added a couch to our humble abode(a nice couch if I do say so myself) and a hand-me-down TV! very exciting, and I put up pictures so it's not half bad:)
