I can barely believe that it has been over a month since I last posted any updates (aside from Father's Day :). That means zero updating of all that has been going on over here - which is a lot! I'm gonna try my best to recap.
After 11 days apart (never again), the day finally came to fly home to my much-missed husband. I got to the airport and made the great choice/mistake not to check my flight until after I took the train to my gate. Yep, flight cancelled. Heart dropped. I had to go to the far end of the airport to get to my gate only to turn around and go to the other end only to wait in a huge line with angry people (me being one of them). That flight was the only one for 24 hours that went to Provo, and the flight helper people kept saying that all flights with all airlines to Salt Lake that day were full. I know I wasn't in a real emergency, but at the time it was complete devastation - I had to get home! I missed Jantz! And we were moving that weekend. Long story short, the sweetheart of an old man who helped me somehow by some miracle found a flight for me that left within half an hour. Needless to say, my day - heck my whole week - was so made, and I was SO grateful. I ran to another end of the airport for my new flight. Even though it took an extra hour to get home, it was worth every minute. We were so very excited to see each other.
The next day, Saturday, we went to get the moving truck and a bunch of our friends and my parents came over to help us load up all of our belongings. It only took a couple hours, and everyone was SUCH a help. It started raining just as we put the last thing in the truck. But the fun was only just beginning. We were planning on towing my car behind the moving truck (Jantz drove the truck and I drove his car), but we didn't realize that there was a difference in towing trailers for AWD and 2WD - mine was AWD, and the tow thing we got was for 2WD. And we did not want to pay a couple hundred dollars to get the right one, and my car is pretty old anyway and we wanted to get a new one soon. So.....we made the tough decision to leave my car in Utah (with my gracious parents) and try to sell it. It was pretty sad having to let it go; it got me through my entire college career. Once we got everything decided, my mom took us out to lunch at CPK (we love their BBQ chicken pizza. yum). Then we headed out to Lehi to meet my dad, stepmom and siblings for dinner at Texas Roadhouse After saying goodbye to all of my amazing parents, we went home to sleep in our apartment one last time.
Morning came and we finished packing up the moving truck. After a surprise goodbye visit from my dad and stepmom (he couldn't let us go without making sure everything was packed correctly haha), we were on our way to Colorado!
