Ok... So, I don't really blog. So this is kinda gonna be more like this is what I did today. Landon's may be a bit more interesting. Sorry.
Anyways...
So we got to Utah last night about 11 or so. It was a long day for the both of us. We got up relatively early for us on Tuesday to finish up the packing and to just get together all the last minute things that we lying around the house. Then we had to say Good-bye to Landon's family. That was sad. Poor little Tanner, I felt so bad for him. I felt like I was stealing his brother away. But I think in a few months when he comes out here he will see how great Landon is doing and really just think our move was for the best.
Anywho. We got to the airport, unfortunately we didn't weigh our carry-on bags. See that was not a problem for the plane but it happened to be a problem for Landon's back. Sorry Hunny. Next time we will have to remind ourselves to only pack one computer in each bag. So his back was pretty much tired after like 10 minutes... not good for trying to catch a connecting flight. So we got on the first plane to Phoenix, AZ which was good. We had mild turbulence pretty much the whole way out but we still managed to get some sleep each. And I successfully finished like 6 of the large word searches on the DS.
But we finally landed in Phoenix and we got off to walk to our next flight which was leaving in about 45 minutes. We had our itinerary for the next flight which was supposed to be like just down the hall. But for some reason I wanted to check the flight status on the departure TV things. And our flight had actually been switched from A2 to B6... quite a walk. Poor Landon had a heavy bag and then had to walk forever. Plus the floor moving things were broken for most of the walk which made it even worse cause he never got to rest a little. It probably didn't help that I have been on the phone with my cousin at the time but it was the first time we had talked in about 2 months. I was happy he called. It was really nice to talk to him and hear he was not to upset by my decisions anymore.
So finally we got to our gate. We had about 20 minutes to spare so we grabbed something to eat across the hall and had time to eat about half of it before we boarded. The flight from Phoenix to Salt Lake was soooo short compared to the previous flight. It was a lot smoother too.
Finally we were in Utah!!
We met up with Landon's Aunt Charlotte and JD. I was really nervous to meet them but I immediately felt very comfortable with them. It was very comforting to not feel awkward and out to place right off the bat. But since then things have only got better. Charlotte is very nice and just so cute. JD introduced me to Nikki and us four have been hanging out most of the day. We also came by Landon's Aunt Debbie and Uncle Rand's house since that's where I will be staying and we said Hi and got me situated a little.
Followed by shopping at Target for some random things we needed right off the bat. Then we went back to Charlotte's and played some Rock Band and after a little while it was time to celebrate birthdays! Landon's birthday is tomorrow and his cousin Kaleb's(?) was yesterday. So we did a combined birthday party with his family. So have have met half of his family now, but really I have probably twice as many if not more to still meet. There are alot alot alot (ed: Ashley insists on making sure the a's don't get lonely) of people out here to meet.
My nerves about meeting them have settled down a little. After about 24 hours and I just feeling very strongly like this is where I am supposed to be right now. Yes things are still working themselves out and we still need to get jobs and a car figured out but the home-like feeling I am getting is just making me feel even better about all of my decisions in the past few months.
I am where I am supposed to be right now.
And it feels great.
