We made it! We are here in Michigan and getting settled. The drive out went well. Sophie was an angel in the car and was content to sit and color and look out the window. Nora didn't do quite as well, but considering her age she did great! We made some stops along the way in Denver at my uncle terry's house (we were lucky enough to have my mom ride to Denver with us!) We saw his amazing car garages where he has over 300 AMC cars that are completely re-done and beautiful! Then we stopped at Winter Quarters in Omaha, Nebraska and at Nauvoo, Illinois. It was really fun to see a lot of the church history sites. My favorite place was the burial site of Joseph, Hyrum and Emma Smith. It had a really neat feeling there. We went to our new ward and were one of about 10 new couples/families moving in! Two others were here from Sandy, Utah! It should be a fun ward. One of the best things about being here is that Andy and Ashlee Woolf and their two girls live here as well! (For those of you who don't know I grew up in the same ward as Ashlee and we went to High School together). It has been fun to have them here, and they are in our ward as well! Brian starts school on Monday and has had meetings and stuff all week from 8-6. He starts teaching a substance abuse class on Tuesday and is busily trying to create a sylabus and get everything ready for that. He's a great teacher so I know he will do a wonderful job! It has been quite the adventure for us so far and we are looking forward to being here and experiencing Michigan life, although saying goodbye to all of our family members and friends made me realize why people choose to stay close to home their whole lives! The girls are adjusting well. Sophie loves her new Primary class and can't wait to go to church again on Sunday. Nora turned two the day after we got here, she is such a doll and follows sophie around all day long. Overall, we are doing well and are happy to be here!!!
