Moving from St. George Day 2

Well, it is over, and all is well. Sarah and I took off from Cedar City just before 6:00 AM and with a top off of both the diesel and diet coke, we headed north. The truck actually did quite well, and my speed never fell below 45 mph on the trip north. We ended up using about $135 in fuel, which was good news to Sarah. The truck even had cruise control that worked pretty well, and made the trip so much easier.



We made such great time that we had a chance to stop for breakfast in Springville. IHOP treated us well, and when we got back on the freeway, Sarah started notifying our crew. Aaron, Jake, and Brandon were following us from Cedar City, and were in Nephi when we contacted them. Jason and Liza agreed to help, and Sarah also lined up Daniel and Riley and his boys. With the two volunteers from the ward EQ, we made short work of getting everything into the house. Sarah is surrounded by boxes, but relieved to be moved. The house has a big, unfinished basement where the kids can play and serious storage can take place.



The duplex is located in an older part of town, surrounded by homes that were mostly built in the 30's and 40's. It is a nice neighborhood, with a homey feel. They are only about 10 blocks from Jason and Liza, which will be fun. They are only about six blocks from Jake's school, and it is brand new. I talked to Sarah this morning and his new teacher is Ms. Lemon (like the fruit), and she seems great.



After returning the truck and helping with some setup and unpacking, Aaron, Dan, and I stopped for a big slurpy (Aaron is one block from a 7-11 and beloved frozen treat) and headed south. We dropped Dan off in Provo, and arrived in Cedar City at 8:30 PM. I was beat. Katie was awake and waiting for her Daddy (she had an afternoon nap, so she was going strong when we arrived). Aaron and the girls got off to Sugarhouse this morning at about 9:15, and are on their way. I spoke to Sarah. She has the girl's room just about put together. It is a good thing, because "help" with the unpacking is on the way.
