As everyone knows, we left Michigan on Wednesday to move to UT! We packed the truck on Tuesday (pictures to follow) and what a day that was! Us and the Call's were VERY worried about all of our items fitting into the moving truck! However, with a prayer, help of many people, and pretending it was a jig-saw puzzle, pretty much everything fit!!!! We were so relieved and very grateful! We had a huge turnout to help us pack the truck! We had President Sybrowsky, the Arrington's, the Taylor's, the Haddock's, the missionaries, Justin, the Bingham's, Anders, Chris, Craig, and the Charles's! Bless her heart, Tiffany came and took Connor and Allie pretty much all day long so that we could get everything packed and ready to go! That made a huge difference!!!! We got so much done! On top of that, Christie just took it upon herself to clean my apartment and did a FABULOUS job!!! We had hardly anything left to do when she left! I was so grateful for that! It was a long day but could've been worse without everyone's help! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We left Wednesday on our big adventure back West. The kids were PERFECT!!!! I couldn't have asked for things to go any better! Connor rode in the truck with Mike & Justin. The girl's all rode in the van with Megan and I. We only had to stop for gas and a break a couple of times. We made it to Des Moines, IA at around 8:30 (thank heavens for the time change). We had some pizza then we went to bed.
This morning we got up, had breakfast at Perkins, and then continued on our journey. Today was a little bit harder day for all of us. The kids were tired of being in the car for so long! I was too!!! We had to stop a little bit more than we had planned. We arrived in Big Springs, NE at around 7:30pm (again, thank heavens for another time change). So, here we sit taking a much needed break for the night! HOORAY!!!!!!!
Tomorrow will be the longest day by far! It's also the last day of our journey! It will be an 8 hr. drive to Holladay, UT, where the Call's are moving to. We'll be so excited and anxious to get to UT! That's another reason it will seem to take so long to get to UT! We're excited about it though and look forward to this "trip" being over with!!!
MORE UPDATES TO COME!!!!!

I can't believe you have 2 kids now. And they are so adorable too!! Can't wait to hear about your next adventure.
Glad to hear everything's going good so far! Hopefully today will be more of the same and you'll all get there safe and sound (and sane)!
I didn't know you guys were moving together. That makes it more fun, but certainly doesn't take away the exhaustion. The WEST welcomes you home!!!
How do you like Utah again? Your blogg is great. I think Rylie is adorable. We are so happy for you guys.
