Move to Utah!

Ward Family: This was the easiest move we have ever done, thanks to all the help! Our ward family really stepped up. Around 8 sisters helped us pack up boxes and clean our rental house on 1/4/16, and the following day we had around 12 brothers help move our stuff into storage. One good thing about being in the "cowboy capital of the world" or Stephenville, TX is that there is no shortage of trucks and horse trailers. Several bros from the ward brought these to help us load our stuff up.

On our way to Tuscon: We hit the road on 1/5/16. We decided to take a detour to Tuscon, AZ for a few days to visit Chelsea's sisters and their families. It was great being with everybody and hanging out. Avi and Chloe had such a good time with their cousins...With how stressful the past few weeks have been it was nice to just enjoy time with family and sort of take our minds off of things. Since my appointment with the Utah Oncologist wasn't until the following week, we ended up staying in Tuscan a couple extra days.

 
Me and Chels have been relaxed lately about Avi in Chloe ending up in our bed at night... 


Trying to keep Chloe warm inside my jacket on our way back from the park. Tuscan was colder than we expected!

On our way to Salt Lake City: We hit the road on 1/11/16 for Utah.We stayed the night in St. George, UT and thankfully the girls slept well and we all got rested up. This hotel stay went much smoother than when we stayed the night on our way to Tuscon...we actually got our moneys worth on this one. We finally arrived at my in-laws on 1/12/16. It's awesome being here and settling in. Ironically there's a slight unsettling feeling too, because this means treatment is just around the corner.


We drove by the St. George Temple on our way out...Funny story, Brigham Young (A.K.A. "The Lion") wanted the tower on this temple to be 175 ft tall. It ended up being built to 147 ft tall. Shortly after Brigham Young passed away, lightning struck this tower and burnt it to its base. Subsequently, the tower was rebuilt to 175 ft tall.

I have an appointment tomorrow 1/15/16 with the Oncologist here in UT. We should know when treatment will be starting...
