The BIG Move!

Back in the end of February Jake's company asked if he would be willing to move out to Arkansas.
When Jake told me I laughed and said um no (it was probably a little more PG 13 than that.  I wanted to stay close to family and friends! Utah was my home and I loved it there for the most part.
Well his company flew us out the beginning of March to check things out.  I still wasn't for it and would pray every night that Jake would realize it wasn't a good idea and would back out of it.  Well that obviously never happened!
I can honestly say I love everything out here! We moved to such a pretty area... lots of trees and wild life! The ward is great... I have never felt so welcomed into a ward before! The people (strangers) here are so kind! We have already done lots of fun things here.
I was afraid of getting homesick but that has yet to happen. Everyone in our ward basically works for WalMart since we are by the headquarters, which means most people here are transplants.  Not a lot of them have family here so the ward really becomes your family.  It really is such a great place to live!

On June 7th we left Utah on a long journey towards our new home! Luckily Jake's company paid for a our stuff and Jake's car to be shipped so we got to drive together.
It took us two days of driving all day to finally get to our hotel in Arkansas. We were suppose to be close on our house the next day but that ended up taking another week and a half! Yep, we lived in a Hotel for that long with two kids and a weeks worth of clothes.  Someone in our new ward took our dog for us (such lifesavers) and took great care of him.  Well on June 18th we finally closed and moved into our beautiful home! I love our house and the neighborhood... I actually feel safe and we don't hear dogs constantly barking in the middle of the night! Hahaha I don't miss our old place at all.  Sorry.
However, I do miss our friends back home and my family! I miss my mom... Having her so far away is hard.
I miss my OB...  HAHA Let me explain. I had a great OB back in Utah who delivered both my kids! Well in this new ward it seems like everyone is pregnant (no joke) and every Sunday they announce someone else has had a baby so you can imagine how baby hungry you could get here. No, we are not having another one anytime soon but it just makes me scared to think I wont have my next baby without Dr Spencer.
I miss Zupas... I miss the Mountains, and I miss Tucanos...Need I say more?

The first half of our drive!
