Bright and Earl-y: Our Trek to AZ

Our first big move

The first thing I want to say is....moving is a lot of work. I can't even imagine moving an entire family. But, we survived and we're all settled into our new apartment in Arizona.

Brad starts school at Midwestern University on Monday and I start my new job as a Treatment Coordinator at an orthodontist office next week. (That is, if I pass my background check and drug test. Cross your fingers everyone!)

How did I get the job as a Treatment Coordinator with absolutely no experience, you ask? I'm still trying to figure that out. I'm just happy that I got the one job that I applied for :-)

I thought it would be nice to take pictures and videos of our first apartment together, and that kind of turned into documenting our entire move. To be honest, this post is mainly for myself 10-15 years from now wanting to reminisce about our first few years as a married couple :-)

Here are some pictures of us getting ready to leave.

Seeing this again makes me cringe!

Family room=Done!

I never knew how much kitchen stuff we had

Kitchen=Done!

Bedroom=Done! Kind of. We had to sleep somewhere that last night...

Moving truck almost packed! (Thanks to Christie, Daniel, Jake & Kylie for helping us! And to Annette for keeping me company with her pregnant belly :-)

And we were off! I got to stare at this beauty for more than 11 hours

First stop: St. George

Our first stop was in St. George to visit with Courtney and Curtis and eat a delicious lunch! I forgot to take a picture while we were there, so I had to steal this from Facebook :)

After a few more hours of driving, we arrived in Las Vegas where we stayed the night. We were able to visit with Kacey, Jon, the kids and even Kristy and Trevor for a few hours!

Here's a photo shoot of the kids
