Goodbye Minneapolis!

July was a busy month! I quit working in June and spent most my time getting ready to move. I also took a trip to Oklahoma to visit my sister and see Carlee get baptized. My parents drove across the country to help us move home. Ryan finished his residency on June 30 and we had most the truck and trailer packed by the time he got home from work. We had a lot more stuff than I thought! I sold the majority of our furniture on craigslist: 3 piece white furniture set, ryan's recliner chair, my armoire, small table and chairs, the wave, and my car. I was really grateful to sell my car so we didn't have to drive two cars home. I had a 2004 white Honda Accord coupe. I will really miss that car!! But with a baby on the way I definitely need to upgrade to something bigger. We loaded up all our furniture and belongings in my dad's truck and trailer and drove out of Minneapolis on June 30. We had a few minor problems on the long drive home, but it could have been a lot worse. Ryan's car broke down in Denver, but luckily his brother was there to bail us out. Ryan spent an extra day in Denver to get the car fixed before coming to Richfield. I made it home on July 2nd just in time for my 10 year Richfield High School reunion. It was fun to see everyone, most people have at least 2-3 kids. I will have to hurry if I am going to catch up by our 15 year reunion. We spent the fourth of July in Richfield. Ryan and I ran the Liberty 5K, went to the parade, ate lunch in Fishlake, and watched fireworks at Lion's Park. I love the fourth of July in Richfield!! Now we are living in Provo with Ryan's parents until we buy a house. Life is pretty good!

We had a wonderful two years in Minneapolis! There are several things that we will miss. But we are excited to be back in Utah with new jobs and our first baby on the way.
