The move

The process of moving from Utah to Texas has been long. I started packing about a week or so before the move (luckily much of our stuff was still boxed from our wedding and in storage). Then my mom, Kyle, Jeff and Micquel helped to load it into the UHaul (in which we weren't quite sure if everything would fit).




We then drove for about 24 hours (give or take) before we arrived in Grapevine. My mom, dad, and Kyle helped to drive me there and get all the stuff moved in. We also had a couple guys from our elders quorum who came and helped us. The fam was then kind enough to put my furniture together and organize it. I'm amazed at how much we got done before they had to leave. We even had a little time to drive around and see my new home here in Texas.

Hi Mindy! I haven't posted a comment on your blog in forever, so I hope you'll forgive me. I love you man and wish you luck on your life in Texas. I hope you plan to play Sunday games the next time you're in Utah (Christmas?) so I can have a chance to hang with you and yo bro bryant. Later!

Man, you guys got lots done in a short time! Pretty amazing. Your apartment looks like it's going to be super fabulous once everything finds its home. Your furniture is beautiful. Hope things are good and all that! (No baby as of yet).
Loves!

Love your furniture! Talk about spoiled for your first place. Comes from working at a furniture store, eh?
Such fun setting up your first home!

Woah. Your poor mom and dad look so tired! So how is Texas? Have you seen the sun yet? I swear everytime I was there it rained and was overcast.

Congrats on the graduation and the big move!! I'm glad you're doing well. How does it feel to be done with RC Willey? It's a little strange isn't it?! I do miss talking with everyone! Thank goodness for blogs!

Cute apartment! And I'm sure it can only get better once you put everything away. That's the hard part. I hope it fits!
Don't fry to death down there in Texas. You'll have to blog a whole bunch so we can hear about what's up wit you.

Mindy,
I just found your blog off of Krachel's. Yay for blogs!! Looks like your apartment will be awesome once you get everything unpacked! Moving is so much work, so good luck! I am excited that you guys have a blog so that we can keep in touch a little better. Our blog is private, but if you send me your e-mail address I will send you an invite so that you can see it. My e-mail is xrayash@gmail.com. By the way, this is Ashlee Woolf (Bryant's cousin).

Howdy Mindy and Bryant, I'll bet this post will really surprise you when you figure out who it is from. I thought Bryant was anti-blog. So I am surprised to see you have one, You, Go Girl, Mindy. I am proud of you for doing one. Looks like your move to Texas was about the same as Ashlee's and Andy's move to Michigan. Good Luck on everything in BIG OLD TEXAS! It was great to see you both this past weekend in Alpine.
