The 31st I took a final, ran home, drove to Penske (who I highly recommend, along with Budget, Penske was cheeper for this move) picked up a truck, and made it just in time as some help from the ward arrived. Packed the truck, drove to Provo, spent the night there, woke up and drove a good portion of the day to California (I just kept the gas petal to the ground and it maintained 75 MPH comfortably almost the whole way.). The next Monday I then enlisted my two brothers to help unpack the things staying at the house, repacking the things for storage, and then at the storage unit unpacking it all. They helped a ton. Dan showed up toward the end too, when he was able, which was helpful. Then we settled in and unpacked at Jen's parent's home. That took a good portion of the rest of the week. So busy busy stuff, but it is done. I am excited to be done and to have my Masters now and to finally have moved closer to family. So here is a fast overview of the events that happened that I got pictures of.
We went down to Layton area to go to the reception of Jen's cousin Cody.
Dan took this picture and usurped that right away from me.
Kate is doing all sorts of things to her hair and playing with it. (In fact yesterday, Anna and Kate cut their own hair a little with safety scissors, not enough to notice though before I caught them.)
We went to eat at Red Robin with Dan and Casi. Ty was tired and as always cute.
Do they still look like a newly wed couple?
I think that Ty teething is making him stick his tongue out a lot.
Then Jen's roommate, Chani, from BYU came down to visit from Twin Falls, ID. We celebrated her birthday with her favorite colors purple and pink (At least those are her favorite colors according to Kate.)
We went to the same park that we went to for July 4th for the 24th with Chani. Ty is much braver that Kate with swings. Kate wouldn't even sit in a swing until her 2nd birthday.
The girls had fun reminiscing and catching up. It was sad that we are so far away now.

On moving day, Kate played with her friend, McKenzie's, one last time.
Here is Kate with the neighbor boys. They kept Katelynn entertained often. Casen, Treg, and Teague.
Them all with the boys' mom, Lyndie.
Kate wanted to do a silly face. That works.
Home at last. It was all pretty exhausting.
