Welcome To Our Blog!!

I have finally been convinced to join the blogging world. We thought since we were moving so far away from everyone it would be a great way to keep in touch. Here is a recap of the crazy month or so we have had and some of our adventures. We love and miss you all!!

Goodbye Arizona!!

Our car was packed to the max and we got the biggest Uhaul they had and set off for our 3 day journey to Iowa!!


Hello Iowa!!



After the three day drive we were sooo happy to be out of the car. (Who knows when we'll make that drive again.) We were so blessed to have my parents come and help us move and get settled in. Thanks Mom and Dad. It was hard to see them go. We have never really been too far from home, so this is a new experience for us. John had a great opportunity to come work for his Uncle and we thought it would be a great adventure for our family. We are loving it so far. It is sooo pretty and green!! I'm sure we'll be singing a different tune when its 20 degrees below and freezing!!


Nauvoo Temple


My parents were so nice to watch the kids for the day so John and I could go to the Nauvoo Temple. It is beautiful. It was a special day for us, one I will always remember. Thanks Mom and Dad! We live only a couple hours from Nauvoo. We are so excited to be so close to so much history. Since we live so close to Nauvoo, I hope we'll get lots of visitors. PLEASE COME!!

First Day of School!!



The kids started school a couple weeks after we moved. They really like their teachers and are doing great and making friends. Joey started 4th grade, Adam 2nd and Jacob is in Kindergarten ( he goes all day and loves it!) They are so excited to ride the bus. John also started school the same day. He is going to the University of Iowa to get his Executive MBA. (one of the main reasons why we came) Sorry, No picture. :)
