Fishy Face

This video was taken before we left Utah, and we were trying to teach Ellie how to make a fishy face. It's hilarious and we couldn't stop laughing at her!

Tennessee

Well, moving here has been a crazy adventure so far. We have been living in a one room suite in the Courtyard Marriott, and boy, is it old. Ellie has refused to sleep in the pack 'n play the hotel has, so she sleeps in bed with us, which I'm sure is going to bite us back when we move into our new place!

Speaking of our new place, we got a great townhouse. It's got 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, a 1 car garage, a big living area with hardwood floors, a good sized kitchen, a back deck, and a lot of storage space. I think it will be a great place for us! We got our keys today and went to clean the counters, and spray for bugs, since it's SOOOO buggy here! We're planning on spraying again one more time before we move in because I really REALLY hate bugs! ha ha!

We haven't been up to a whole lot here other than trying to figure out the city and where things are in relation to where we are. Roads are crazy here and I don't know if I will know how to get around on my own! So far we've found some great parks for Ellie to play at and for us to take her on walks in. We also took a little trip to visit David's aunt and uncle in Mars Hill, NC, and it was a lot of fun. Ellie really enjoyed running around to her heart's content and we loved relaxing and having a home cooked meal! Thanks again, Aunt Wendy!! We'll need to find more to do because a few days ago, we found out that David won't start work until May 14th, when we were expecting the 1st! Talk about a damper in our plans!

I am going crazy with not having much to do, so we can't wait for Monday to come!

Anyway, more updates, and some pictures to follow!

Updates!

I feel like blogging has been the absolute LAST item on my list of things to do lately, because frankly, life has been crazy around here. With David finishing up projects, presentations, papers, tests and homework assignments, I haven't really wanted to blog and record what's going on these days.

It's official, though! We are moving to Tennessee on April 24th! We're excited, nervous, uneasy and even a bit scared! I'm mostly just scared, though! I don't know what to expect. I don't know how the neighborhoods will be, how grocery stores will be, how church will be, how ANYTHING will be, and I HATE that! It is a bit like when we moved to Albany, NY last summer because we're going to a place I've never been with a million things unknown, except this time, we're staying there for who knows how long!?

I'm not really ready to cut ties with life here in Provo, even though it hasn't been my favorite. I am, however, very excited for a new adventure in Tennessee. It's honestly the last place I thought we'd end up. Hopefully things with the move go well, and we find a place to live quickly! Right now I am just full of butterflies because of so many unknown things!

I'll try to have better updates once we're settled and have some things figured out! But for now, this is all I'm going to write!

Farewell and wish us luck!
