Moving Weekend

We didn't get many pictures, but we did want to mark the passing of this weekend. Daniel and Rosalyn moved into their new home in Cedar City. Bubby and I got to Provo too late on Thursday night to help with the packing (darn it!). Thanks to Uncle Roland and Auntie Nell for the ride. Also, thanks to Grandpa Bruce and Grandma Pattie for putting us up overnight. We rose early, and were on the road by 4:15. The drive was relatively traffic free, and blissfully uneventful. We called Daniel and Rosalyn as we were pulling into Parowan and they were just thinking about leaving. Because we knew we could, we had a lovely breakfast of pancakes and a shared bacon and cheese omelette. When we backed the moving truck into their driveway, we had visits from a neighbor and the Bishop offering assistance. We told them we doubted we would need help until 11:00 AM.



The move went very smoothly, especially when the 11:00 AM crew arrived. The first help came from Kyle and his can do attitude helped move things right along. Daniel's across the street neighbors also lent significant assistance. In the afternoon, we returned the truck, put the bedrooms together and then left Daniel and Rosalyn to the serious unpacking.

We did have a lovely dinner at the Ninja, and tried a couple of new sushi rolls. I am not sure how Rosalyn liked them, but Bubby and I thought they were great.



On Saturday morning, in celebration of Daniel's birthday, we went to the Main Street Grill for breakfast. It was dewlicious and Bubby wanted to include the photo of their log on the new tables.



Here are a few photos of the interior of the house. Rosalyn is sitting in one of the two new couches.



The love seat was too big to go downstairs, so it resides in the formal dining area.



This is Evelyn's room, ready to go. Bubby had fun helping to put it together.



Among other things, Bubby gave Dan a new watch to replace the one that Andrew broke the weekend before. Of course, being old school, she purchased a gold toned watch. Daniel is holding it up for view and announcing that "gold be coming back" for any who will listen. He can exchange it, if he is not happy with the watch or its metal case.



Daniel's big gift was his cap and gown. I got new ones this year, so Daniel inherits Larry D.'s father-in-laws old robe (which served me well for twenty years) along with a new cap and hood bearing Penn State colors.



I am not sure how excited Daniel is with the gift, but it is something that a new faculty member would never spend the money on, so they either have to rent or come up with excuses for why they can't participate in commencement each year. Daniel won't have that problem.



We are so excited to have Daniel and Rosalyn living in Cedar City. Of course, we think it is the best place on earth, and we hope they come to the same conclusion.

Sunday was very quiet. I thought an abbreviated gospel doctrine lesson and mainly we rested. Bubby is working on a quilt, so she did a little cutting. We caught my last home teaching family, too.
