We Lived in Arizona: October 2015

A month ago today, we left our empty apartment in Arizona and headed to Utah. We were pretty sad to leave, but we were also very excited to close on our house and get moved in. We stayed at my mom's house that night and got up early to go to our closing the next day. Just two hours after closing we had the keys to our new house! Of course, we couldn't actually move anything in until our moving truck arrived which was still a few days out. We went back to my mom's house that night and celebrated our buying a house and my mom getting home from a two week vacation in England. The next day, Jake went back up to our house for a final walk through with the builder and I ended up staying with my mom another night. We stayed in a hotel near our house for a couple of days while waiting to get moved in and spent that time prepping and cleaning and putting together IKEA furniture! Once the moving truck arrived, we got to work unpacking and managed to get all of our boxes unpacked in two days.

Our first weekend in the house, we had our first house guests. We had a lot of fun with my mom, Lukas and Christy.

Jake loved these South American river fish

I loved this cute little brightly colored bird.. can you see him?

We were getting ready to watch the 4D Haunted Mansion movie and Lukas wanted to show off his cool smashed penny

I love how these things are always smiling :)

This guy looked just like the eel on the Little Mermaid

The next weekend was our anniversary so we headed for the hills; literally! We spent the night in Park City and had the most amazing dinner we've ever eaten and just enjoyed the beautiful scenery. It was the perfect way to celebrate 3 years.
