We made it to Charlotte and we couldn’t be better. First off I say Charlotte because it’s a city most people recognize but we actually live in the city of Monroe. We technically are 20 minutes away from downtown Charlotte. Let me know if you want our physical address, I'll shoot you an email. We left Sunday the 24th of February at 5a.m. and drove our 26ft truck and car trailer 15 hours across the country and spent the first night in St. Joseph Missouri. The next morning we drove another 12 hours to make it to Mississippi in time for dinner (otherwise known as supper). Dinner is a pretty big deal especially when Laurens mom is making her famous red beans and rice. We spent Tuesday through Thursday with Laurens family and enjoyed some much needed relaxation and fun. Friday we hesitantly climbed back into our traveling beast and started our 12 hour journey to Monroe. We spent the night in a hotel and woke up Saturday morning to start moving into our new residence. We had plenty of help moving in, all which included Laurens two cousins from the ATL and 12 men from the Monroe ward. We had everything out of the truck and into its assigned room in 30 minutes. Lauren and I didn’t lift a single box, seeing as how we were more useful directing the 14 helpers we had. We couldn’t have received a better, more appreciated welcome. Approaching 2 weeks here things are awesome and feeling more and more like home everyday. We miss friends and family but are also enjoying the time to ourselves. Especially considering that will be a thing of the past come August 6th!! Lauren is getting to where people actually believe she is pregnant if she turns to the side and sticks here belly out. I am loving the weather and have been able to use my new Christmas clubs!!! Well we got this to keep people updated on how things are out here and also to post pictues so I’ll post a small time line to catch people up on the last 8 or 9 months and post plenty of pics. Enjoy and we love and miss y’all!! That’s right I said y’all, and I’m fixin ta keep using it too!! July 21st 2007 Married in SLC Temple Sept 2007 Moved into a home in Lehi Dec 2007 Scooter, R.I.P.
