Quick Update

Well, we finally have internet (thanks to our amazing friends and neighbors Doug and Jamie), and so it is time for a quick update. Bryce and I love our new place!!! It is much bigger and roomier than our last apartment, so we had to buy a few more decorations to cover all the bare walls. Our ward is amazing!!!! We were a little nervous at first because we didn't know anyone, and we didn't see very many young married couples, but we couldn't have asked for a better ward. I feel like in the three weeks we have been here we already have met the sweetest, nicest people ever!! The ward is very loving and really looks out for one another.

A few days ago, our air conditioning broke. Well, our neighbor came by yesterday to bring us some homemade cinnamon rolls and when she found out we didn't have any air conditioning she came back 5 minutes later with a huge fan she said we could borrow until our air was fixed. Last night we were also able to hang out with a few of the new couples we have met recently, the Newmans and the Tobiases. From the minute we all got together, until the time we left the house we were laughing non-stop. The Tobiases told us about their "Cosco experience" where they ended up paying $400. They said they have enough toilet paper for years and if they use 2 napkins a day each they will have enough napkins to last them two years. Then the Newmans told about their "$90 air bill" and their "please do not respond to this letter" experience. Finally, Bryce and I told about our dating story and the bloody nose and broken foot incidences. We are truly blessed to have met such amazing friends and to live where we live now.

We are so grateful for the help that our family has given us with this move. My uncle, Tracey, let us borrow his big snowmobile trailer so that we won't have to spend a lot of money on a U-haul. The trailer was so big that we didn't have to stack any of our boxes on top of each other.

Bryce's parents, friend Gary, and brother and sister-in-law Dustin and Hillary all helped us load the trailer and then when we got to Salt Lake my dad and Bryce's friend Ryan helped us unload all the stuff. My mom and sister came a little bit later and stayed for two days to help us organize and make our house a home. We couldn't have done it without them and all the help we have received.

Bryce's boxes kept unloading themselves :)

Where should we put these???

Finally all done and resting!!!

We have been truly blessed and watched over during this transition time. WE LOVE THE EXPERIENCES WE HAVE ALREADY HAD SINCE MOVING TO SALT LAKE AND WE CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE TO COME. We know that medical school is going to be hard, but we also know that with all the support we have been given, with the friends we have already made, and with the Lord's help we will be able to make it through and continue to have the strong and loving marriage that we have right now!!!
