We made it to WASHINGTON !!!!

Well we are here in Yakima and couldn't be happier. We had a long move but are now pretty much settled. We left July 28th in our big 26 foot truck that was packed to the top, along with our car and van!! It defently makes me not want to move for a long time because I know our stuff will not be decreasing it will only grow so I can't even imagine what size of truck we will have next time :).... We absoulty love our new home and the town we live in. We live in a little town outside of Yakima that is only about 1,100 people. It is a very fun family friendly neighborhood. We love our new ward and are excited to get to know the people better. They have been so warm and welcoming. We had about 5 different poeple come and help move us in when we arrived and were so thankful. It would have taken my Dad and Nicholas probably a week to unload it all. Kate and Savannah have done really well and are adjusting to being roomates. Kate is constantly telling us that she loves her new house in "the Washington" and her favorite thing is the park. ( We have a fun park about 5 blocks from our house and we have loved going to it. Vanny is grown up especially fast and is talking so much. I looked at her the other day and realized that she is not my baby anymore :(. Nicholas started school last week and is really enjoying it. We actually have all adjusted to his school better than I have thought we would have. His school has some fun things for the families and seems like they are very intrested in making sure there is time for families, which we have loved. He likes all of his professors and they really want to help the students do well. Everyone in this community is all very excited about this new medical school so it has been fun. It is very wierd to not have Nicholas with us constanly, but we knew we couldn't live at ALamo Storage forever. I on the other hand cannot believe how weird it is to not be running Storage units. It is so nice to be able to do anything go anywhere anytime of the day, and not have to worry about getting intrupted. We have loved our freedom, but we might maybe, maybe miss it when we have to pay rent, but probably not:).

Thank you to everyone who helped us move it was so nice and even the smallest acts of service were very well appreciated. We miss everyone but know we will have to be even better at blogging so our families can stay in touch with us. I will try to get caught up in the next couple of days and post some pictures!!!!!

Hey girl, just checking out your blog. We are so jeolous you are in Washington. I could handle that right now or Arizona so I can hang with the Manwarings and go out to eat with them every night :)

Your Family is so cute and that picture of you on the floor for your birthday is so cute! Good luck.

Hi, I know you don't know me, but I went to high school with Nicholas. He is a good guy. Just thought I would say hi, and also say those are some beautiful girls. Good luck with Yakima and tell Nick good luck with med school. Glad your move was safe.
