Moving & Family Visits

We have been preoccupied for the last 3 weeks with moving and having family come up to visit us. Moving was the worst, as we have come realize how much crap we actually have. However, we couldn't have moved at a more perfect time than when our family came to visit.

First, Grammy (Kelly) came to visit, and she stayed for 2 weeks. She was so helpful with moving!! While we were in our last 2 weeks of school, she filled her car up with our junk and moved it over to our new apartment everyday! On top of that she helped clean the old apartment, and babysat JD. On her last couple days of visiting, Gramps (Gerry) came up to visit as well, and they helped us get almost everything over. We needed their push to get motivated, otherwise, I have no idea how we'd get it all done.

Last week, my sister Connie came to visit! She and JD got a long pretty well, only when Justin and I were there with her. When we weren't there, JD screamed and cried almost the entire time. We still had to finish moving and cleaning the apartment while she was here, and that is why she was left alone with JD. While here, we went to a zoo down in Idaho Falls. It was small, but it was fun to get out of the house. We tried to convince her that night to try a snow cone up here (since I think they're delish, while Justin thinks they're good, but not as good as I say they are). It wasn't until Monday, when my dad came up to visit for the last couple of days, that he got her to try it. I think she liked it.... but who knows. She's not very vocal about how she feels. :) My mom wasn't able to make it up, unfortunately, but my parents plan to visit again in 2 months.

The only thing I regret about having family over these last few weeks was that we were moving, and finishing school. We had other priorities to attend to, while I would've rather had more time to visit with them. However, Justin and I both know that our families were only here to visit JD. :) So maybe I don't feel so bad. :P Thanks again for all your guys' help and for visiting us!!! :) We miss you already!

Here's some pictures from our zoo trip, and a trip to the Idaho Falls.









I wish we had taken pictures with Kelly and Gerry, but we have CABO to look forward to and to take as many pictures as we'd like! :)
