We had a bunch of family come into town this weekend to help us pack up and move out. Kristofer's family came and spent all day Saturday with him and Alyvia, while I stayed at the apartment with my family to pack up all the nick nack boxes. We got a 24 foot truck... which is funny because seriously we only had a two bedroom apartment. We originally got 16 foot truck so it could pull our car, but it was a free upgrade. :) We had Alyvia's blessing Sunday and got the truck Monday. Early Monday morning we loaded up the truck and cleaned the apartment. Dad, Britt, and Ryann headed back to Springfield around 2:30 pm. Ryann had her first day of 4th grade the next day. Josh and Kristofer began driving around 7 pm at night, we tried to convince them to stay. Danielle, Kinzley, mom, Alyvia, and I stayed one last night in a hotel. We had an early flight Tuesday morning.

I got a text from Kristofer about 3 am saying they were having truck trouble, did not know the seriousness of it until the morning. On our way to the airport Danielle realizes she has no form of ID!! She had given her wallet to Josh, in one of her suitcases. We thought we too would be making a road trip to Springfield. Well, we all got on the plane. The security people asked Danielle a BUNCH of questions, but she got on, FEEEEW! We arrived in Springfield Wednesday afternoon.

Mean while the boys were stuck in Wyoming at a car repair place waiting on Budget to clear the cost of the truck. They didn't get home until Thursday morning.

Today is our 2 year anniversary!

I cannot believe all that has happened in the past two years! I cannot believe it has been two years! Today is also the day we are completely packing all our stuff in the Budget truck and heading out to Missouri. Is that not the best anniversary gift? (nope) We will celebrate when we get there and we will have family to watch Alyvia. :) 2 years later...

Kristofer, Thank you for an amazing 2 years! I love you more now, than I did then. You are the BESTEST husband and a wonderful, loving daddy. Thank you for all your hard work. If it weren't for you loving encouragement; I wouldn't have graduated. I love you with all my heart! Here's to the next 50 (eternal) years. Corrine

Our last trip to Utah, for awhile... :(

What a weekend! So Kristofer and I are moving next Tuesday, so we decided to make one last trip to Utah to say our goodbyes to family and friends. We got about 2 hours out of Rexburg and our car totally over heated! Sad day! We waited at a rest stop for about an hour. Two guys came over to talk to Kristofer and help us out, one guy gave us 2 gallons of water and the other gave us a rag to open the whatever thing. ;) We made it to a city called Malad to see a mechanic and we were there for about another hour, just hear him say just go for it. What a waste of an hour. Well, we finally made it to Kristofer's brother's apartment around 7:30 pm. It was nice to see Jordan again and he got to meet niece for the first time. :) Kristofer enjoyed his time with his brother and Jordan's playstation 3 and the game Fat Princess. ;) Friday we had a lunch date with some of my very old friends and our Laurel teacher. It was SO much fun, we went to Red Robbin. Well, on our way there our car over heated again! Ugh... By the time we were done with lunch none of the mechanics had time or whatever to look at the car. Our solution was to buy coolant and then see if we could make it back to Rexburg and get the car looked at up there. Saturday we spent time with some cousins and we also went to my friend, Kim's B-day party! It was so much fun! all in all I had a good time in Utah, it is kinda sad that this will be our last visit for a long while. :(
