Moving, Maners and Tulips

It was so fun to see the Maners for graduation. We were so happy that they were able to come up. Besides the festivities of graduation we were also able to do some other fun things. We went to the new Draper temple together and had Cafe Rio afterwards. 

We took a tour of the Church's Printing Division which was really neat 

And then we saw some great things at BYU including the Student Athletic Building. The highlight of that was probably getting to tour some of the facilities for the BYU football team. We are so glad that we got to spend so much time with family!

As all of you probably know, moving is really crazy. And it is always a time when I sit back in awe of how much junk we have. It isn't until you have to go through all of it and put it in boxes that you really appreciate the sheer volume of stuff you have managed to fit in your apartment! Well, we packed it all up and got rid of a few things, which is always good. In the midst of packing we managed to get the kids out for one more fun outing before our big move. We took them to the tulip festival at Thanksgiving Point, and then bowling and icecream at BYU that night. It was a fun day! Those flowers are just so beautiful and springy!

And what better way to end the tour of tulips than by rolling down this huge hill?

In this midst of all our packing, I went in to get my braces off the day before we left. Thankfully the orthodontist thought they were ready to come off, so it all worked out! I picked up my retainers the day we left, so not a moment too soon! I still don't have a good picture of my new smile, but I'll get one up here some time soon.

We were so thankful to have so much help from so many in packing, loading and cleaning. Thank you, thank you to all of you!
