Before I get started, can I just mention that packing and moving is the worst thing ever?!?! We had our nephew Kyle and Ryan help us clean, move, and pack. Matt's sister Krissie came to help as well as my mom. Matt's friend Tyler also came. We got a lot of help and it still seemed like we would never get it done, but we somehow did! I remember seeing my mom for the last time and crying as we drove away. So sad. We stayed over at Matt's sister Amy's house the last night which was fun.
Here are the dark skies we saw on our road trip. The drive is kind of fun to do, seeing the landscapes.
I am glad Matt worked for Penske and he has driven the trucks before. We also got a good deal on a truck phew!
Lots of these to keep Matt awake.
Tyler Matt's friend drove out with us and drove behind us in our car the whole way. It was so nice of him and made it a little more fun! Tyler was going to go to Creighton Law School also but got into BYU Law school last minute, he was coming to help us and to sell his townhouse he bought. When we got to Omaha it was fun to explore the city. It was not what we expected. Omaha is in lots of bluffs or hills it is NOT flat. IT is also a HUGE city, not small like I imagined.
Creighton Law School. Apparently this lady didn't want her picture taken.
Walking around Old Market downtown, a historic district.
Darn it! Tyler's visit was so quick we had to take him to the airport! First visitor to Omaha
Of course, we didn't unpack everything and decorate that day we got there. These pictures are a couple weeks after we settled in. We bought a townhouse which is in "little Utah" a townhouse community where most everyone is from Utah and LDS. Everyone kept telling us to live here it is so tightknit and the townhouses are very very cheap!! We feel so lucky! We went from 500 square feet to 1300 square feet. We were in heaven with all the space we got! Now we just need visitors! We are 5 hours away from Nauvoo?!?! We were also going to think about buying Tyler's townhouse, but Village Green complex would not let us I was not very happy because I thought we could pick which townhouse we wanted. Maybe buy Tyler's and sell ours? It worked out though because one of our good friends moved into Tyler's Townhouse. He sold it to them, and guess what?? They were 1st year Law students as well!! The Elder's Quorum were also nice to show up and help us move. The people in our complex are SO nice. We have loved it here.
A walk-in closet!!! Never had one of those! Dream come true!
