Hello from Indiana!

We made it! We have had an incredibly long week but we are here now. Here is a break down of what we have been up to:

Monday: Packing up! Thank you to everyone that showed up to help us pack up the truck. We had plenty of people and it went so fast and smooth.

Tuesday: We finished packing the car and the truck, cleaned the house and headed out. We drove from Mesa, AZ to Albuquerque, NM. My favorite state: Arizona, I loved driving through the pines.

Wednesday: Drove from Albuquerque, NM to Tulsa, OK. My favorite state: Texas, it was flat so we were able to use cruise control! Unfortunately it was incredibly windy all day so that by the time we made it to Tulsa we were exausted.

Thursday: Drove from Tulsa, OK to Terre Haute, IN. My favorite state: Missouri, it was really pretty and I loved the brick buildings in St. Louis. The picture below is pretty much what I saw for three days straight. Don't get me wrong, I love my car, but I would be quite grateful if I didn't see it's tailend for a while.

Friday: Drove from Terre Haute, IN to Indianapolis, IN. My favorite state: Indianapolis, because we were finally here. This was the only day we had any rain. We dropped the moving truck off at the apartment complex, went to Walmart and Costco, then went back for our walk through and to fill out the paperwork. Unfortunately, it was still sprinkling on and off so we weren't sure when we were going to unpack the truck. Rick talked to the Elders Quorm guys and we ended up deciding to do it Friday night since the complex was having a yard sale in the morning. Luckily it stopped raining long enough for us to get the truck unloaded. We had so many people show up to help us unpack last minute and are so grateful for all of the help, tips and support that they gave us!

Saturday: Spent all day unpacking. We have acquired a bunch of stuff in the years that we have been married and so now we are figuring out where everything goes, what to keep, and what to get rid of. Also our family room furniture is quite large and our family room is quite small. This is creating a couple of our issues. We got our bedroom set up and most of our kitchen. Hopefully in the next couple of days we'll be done and I'll post pictures of our place then. I also have to give Rick a lot of credit. He pretty much packed the house up by himself and did such a great job that nothing is broken!

Indiana is really different from anywhere we have ever lived. The radio stations are all country and religion, there is a ton of green (trees, grass, etc) everywhere, and we have to drive 10 miles to get to church. The people have been really friendly though and we love living in a complex with quite a few other medical, dental, and law students. We will try to keep everyone updated as we start our new adventure!
