Goodbye Ohio..

  I can't believe our 4 years of Dental school has come and gone.  We really loved living in Ohio and will miss our friends and neighbors greatly.  Bryan got an opportunity to work as a resident doing implants at "White Cap" in Heber City Utah.  We feel so blessed to have been given this amazing opportunity and are excited to be close to family again!

The month of June was probably the most eventful and crazy time of my life.  So much happened that i will have to write 4 different posts just to document it all.  In a nutshell.... Bryan and i planned on moving after graduation on the 5th.  Our plans changed when we got the call that my brother Jason passed away.  We then had 2 choices, We could try to fly to Utah for the funeral then come back and pack up our house, or pack up everything and drive across the country within 4 days.  Well, our attempt to fly to Utah failed.  Flying standby before memorial weekend was almost impossible, so we went with plan B.  Without all of our wonderful friends helping us throw things in boxes and load up our trucks, there is no way we could've done it in that 2 days.  Bryans Dad flew out to Ohio to drive one of the trucks to Utah for us.  We definitely  couldn't have done it without him.  With already 2 days of no sleep we added 2 more to that.  We made the 1700 mile drive in about 40 hours.  Surprisingly, The kids did amazing! Even little Landon!   


 Before we left,  Our neighbors Kiel and Patty threw a BBQ for us and some of our other neighbors.  They have all become like family to us so it was hard to move away from them.




We had the opportunity to see Larry baptized before we moved!
Jeani and Larry have the luckiest dogs on the planet.  They get walked almost every hour rain or shine.




Linda has a personality and smile as bright as her shirt :)  She will always be Grandma Linda to the girls



Our other family away from home is our Dental family.  We have all grown so close and have been through so much together.  I don't know how i could've gotten through these last 4 years without them and now it's sad to think we are all scattered in different states across the country.



Moving Day!




Durring our "unpacking party" Ashley decided to take a little nap....

I'm so sad I didn't get to say goodbye. Hope all is going well in Utah.

Becky, I was telling David just the other night that my best friend-moms were in our SLC ward! That was back in the days of Brian studying in the storage room. :) I'm so sorry to hear about your brother passing away. What a wild week. Congrats to Brian and it's so great you are back near family! David's parents are in Alpine so hopefully we can see you next time we visit.
