June 10, 2009Before I go into our trip to Utah, I cannot forget to mention that we have finally moved. We sold our house in Limerick and moved into a twin home closer to Philadelphia. Since Jeff is on call 1 week a month, we needed to make the move so that he was within a 20 minute drive to the hospital. So far, we love our new area and ward. Jeff's residency is only 2 years so I know the time will fly by!
My sister, niece and nephew flew out to help us move. I don't know if we could have done it without them! Thanks Shan, T & K!
Our house has hardwood floors throughout the entire place. They were sticky and disgusting when we moved in. It took 3 of us over 2 hours just to clean the main floor! Notice the color of the water in the bucket. Yuck!!
Just an adorable picture of my neice, Kelsey. I love this girl!
Trip to UtahFortunately, we were able to squeeze in some time to take a vacation in between moving and Jeff starting his residency. We began our trip in Utah. It was a little crazy getting there since we flew all 5 of us standby, but totally worth it once we got there.
We spent Father's Day and my niece's birthday with my parents, the Foster's, and the Palmer's. Excellent food and entertainment! My niece got a rip stick for her birthday so we spent many hours trying to master it. Have you ever tried one of those things? They're crazy hard! It's way fun once you get the hang of it though.
The following day, we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. It was amazing!

Other then spending time with family, we were fortunate to see our great friends, the Yeats. Their little guy, Zach, is simply to die for!

Don't you love the do? I think it goes well with the shoes!
We were also able to get together for an evening with many members of Jeff's family. He hadn't seen his parents in 3 years. It was great to catch up. It also happened to be Jeff's brother, Spencer's, birthday. Thanks so much, Shanda, for hosting this for us.
It is always a bitter sweet vacation when we go to Utah. There are so many friends we would love to visit when we're out there but the lack of time and resources makes this very difficult for us. We're so glad we were able to spend the time that we did with our family and friends and look forward to seeing many more of you next time!
