So we are ALMOST settled- just a few more things to finish and decide where to put. whew- moving is no fun. But, wow we could not have done it without family. (well we could have but it would had been awful and taken us three times as long) When we moved to Missouri, Mike's dad made the trek with Mike and the truck and unloaded everything before the kids and I got there. This time around my family (mom,dad,Steph and Cassie) came out to help.
It seems like alot went on the last couple weeks of June- so to save time I'll just highlight them......(and maybe if I can get my act together- I'll add pictures later)
-Mike took both the COMPLEX and USMLE (Board exams for DO and MD) Yeah!
-Father's Day (luckily my family made it just in time to be together for Father's Day)
-Collin turned 2- wanted a Stars Wars (Tar Warts) cake
-Packed the truck in 100 weather-(with humidity felt like 106)
-Drove 9 hours to our new home
-Unpacked the truck in only an hour- with the help of some ward members (hands down- one the friendliest ward I've been in- love it)
-I turned 30
-spent a few days unpacking boxes and decorating (thanks to my moms great taste and advice)
-went shopping at a great outlet mall- to help celebrate Cassie's 17th birthday (sorry Beaner that you had to celebrate your birthday out here)
-had what is now my favorite icecream- 2 0r 3 times Black Raspberry Chip
-celebrated my dad's birthday (not the best birthday- being sick and all)
So far I really like Dublin- seriously ANY store or restaurant that I could ever need or want is within 3 miles or less from our house (that is including a mall). I really like our house- although I could do without the animal that is living under our deck (unsure of what the animal is- size of a cat-is brown and has kind of a long nose-ugly) hoping to take care of it soon.
Whether we only live here for 2 years or longer (for residency) I have a feeling that we will continue to love Ohio- this is only the beginning!
I do miss Kirksville- or atleast the people who made the last 2 years so special. I will never forget my experiences there- and how they helped my to grow.
Thanks again Mom-Dad, Steph and Cassie- the quilts were not even close to repaying you guys for spending your vacation helping us. I miss you already- Love you-

Wow, you've packed a lot into the past few weeks! I'm so happy to hear you're doing well there. I bet it's so exciting being close to REAL shopping again, huh? I guess Kirksville is good for saving money, but that's about it. haha.
Miss you and can't wait to see more pics!
Let us know what that mysterious animal is ... haha. weird!
Wow you guys have accomplished a lot! I'm hoping soon as I read your blog & your comments I will quit getting teary (sp?) eyed! We miss you guys so much, but are glad you are enjoying it there!!! give those cute kids hugs & kisses from us! The girls are sitting by me talking to their pictures... i think that they think they can hear them or something who knows!
I am excited to hear your liking it so far. That is great your ward is so nice that makes all the difference living so far away, we can attest to that. Happy birthday to you both. I can't wait to find out what that little bambino is, Jonathan and I were just talking about it. Is it 4-6 weeks away? What are you 14? You need a pregnancy tracker for nosey people like me. Have fun with your new pet under the deck!
hurray! i'm glad you guys made it. moving is pretty much last on my list of things that i have to do. too bad i'll probably have a few more moves in our lives.
wow! june was busy for you! glad you are getting settled and enjoying all the shopping options. i had to go shirt shopping and it took me so long because i wanted to go to all the stores before i bought anything. oh, options can be good and bad :)
take care and miss ya!
Congrats! I want to see pictures.
Thanks for taking the time to post. I've been wondering how you guys were doing and how the move went. I' so glad you're loving it out there!!
Did you try the Graeters? Thanks for the update!!
Wouldn't that be great if you got to stay in your house for residency?! I've decided I never want to move again! LOL (too bad I'm out of luck on that one!)
Glad you guys are doing well! Do you think your mom could come help me decorate my house?! HA!
Amberlee, I'm so glad you guys are enjoying Ohio so far! I'm glad you got to be with your family, too. Have fun!
