ARIZONA

We are all moved in to our new place in Scottsdale, AZ. Its super hot here, which is going to take a long time to get used too! We still have LOADS of unpacking to do and organizing which feels like it might take forever!

Diesel is having a hard time getting used to the new house! He can’t seem to find where his food and water is half the time, and kinda mopes around the house. I am hoping it wont last long! We all miss California so much! But I guess we have to get used to this area since we will be here for the next 5 years.

The move was a little crazy! We didn’t start packing the u-haul until 9pm Friday night! Kinda insane! I was BEYOND stressed out! and we got too small of a u-haul, so our jeep was PACKED to the rim! After 5 hours of packing and cleaning we finally went to bed around 2:30 and woke up at 4:30 to finish the last few things that needed to jam into the Jeep. We got everything loaded and the jeep on the trailer behind the U-Haul and took off around 6:30. It seriously felt like it took FOREVER to get to Arizona. We finally rolled into our new place around 1:30. Got the keys and started unloading the U-Haul with the help of some of the guys from our new ward! It took the guys about 30 minutes to get the whole truck unloaded! now we just have the daunting task of unpacking all the boxes!!!

We went to our new ward on Sunday. It was really hard not knowing anyone but everyone was very nice and welcoming!

Deric just left for his first day of school! He has to go to the V.A. and get a check for books, and finish all of his paper work with them and then only has one class today! Then we are gonna go get Arizona licenses and become residents! So weird!

I miss everyone in California terribly! Its been a rough couple of days! But atleast we are only 5.5 hours away! we will be back a lot! Can’t wait to see all of our friends back home soon!!!!

The BEST part about AZ licenses is that they don't expire until you're 65! So. Great. You are TOTALLY loved and missed here in California. Hope it's a smooth transition, and you feel settled soon!
