Moved...

Brian and I moved to a new apartment for the summer. My parents came up to help us out-we decided we'd save some money and not rent a uhaul. We borrowed a pick-up truck from my cousin. We thought it would be a good idea-and it was, until it started to rain and snow! It was a memorable move, all of our stuff got soaked and our furniture had to air out. We got all moved and settled in one day, mostly thanks to my mom who insisted on unpacking.

Here are a few pictures of our new place...
This is our family room

The teeny kitchen The bathroom This is our extar room that is full to the brim of all our stuff...we like to shut the door and pretend like it's not there... ;)

Always check your pockets

I was doing laundry this weekend, I went to bed before one of the loads was done, I asked Brian to switch it before he headed to bed. Unfortunately he made a very sad discovery when he put the clothes into the dryer. Turns out Brian had left his iphone in his cargo pocket...which I didn't check. So his iphone went threw an entire wash, obviously it no longer works and he had to go back to his old phone. I feel horrible about it but Brian was very nice and didn't get mad at all. From now on I promise to always check our pants pockets, especially the cargo pockets.

Slight Change of Plans

So we've decided to stay in Logan for the summer. We found a place to rent for a few months...now all we need to do is find a job for Brian...

I am Loved

Brian sent these flowers to me at work today...all of my coworkers were jealous

I love him :)

Spring break=Winter activites

This week was spring break for Brian, today I took the day off and we headed up to Beaver Mountain with some friends and went snowboarding. Last time I went boarding it was not a good experience. I spent the majority of the time falling down and struggled to have a good time. But today it was a totally different story. I was able to stay up and maintain control. Brian was also able to teach me how to go on toeside. I can now go from toeside back to healside without falling. It was great. The snow was good and it was really warm. I kinda feel like a snowboarder now...

12 inches felt more like 24

The storm that hit us on Monday was insane! It felt like it snowed more in one day than it had all winter long. I managed to get to work on the slippery roads and park there all day and just watched the snow pile up more and more on top and around my car. By the time I left for home this is the mess I had to get out of...the snow was up to my knees! The Mazda is pretty low to the ground and light so unfortunately I was only able to back up about 3 feet before I got stuck and then it took 4 people to get my car out it was crazy!

After this storm I finally feel like I am living in Logan...

You can hardly even see the Mazda!

The snow was up to the bumper!

...Arizona here I come :)

Relocating

...688.58 miles south to Prescott, Arizona

This past weekend we drove down to Prescott to tour Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. After being on campus for a couple of minutes Brian was in love and had made up his mind that this was the school for him. During the campus tour all of the labs, classrooms, and projects that we saw just confirmed his decision. We met with an admissions counselor and he helped us understand the admissions process and what we would need to do in order to get accepted.
We walked away from the campus and Brian was literally skipping with excitement.
Then we went and looked at some apartments close to campus and found one that we fell in love with, it lets you have dogs and has a dishwasher! We filled out an application and a couple days later found out that we were approved and have a tentative move in date of May 1st.
This will be quite the adventure for us but we are both excited and scared. Who knows what experiences Prescott will bring us-but I am ready to face them.

We also took the opportunity to go visit one of Brian's mission friends and his wife that live in Peoria. We went to dinner and took the time to catch up-they are pretty excited about us moving down. At least I will know 2 people in Arizona! Then we went down to Phoenix to meet up with Brian's family for one of Natalee's soccer tournaments, we only got to see one game but her team played well. On the way home we stopped in Salt Lake and spent Presidents Day with my family. We went to lunch and then to a movie. It was a great and very productive weekend.
