NJ

We made it.
We live in New Jersey now.

We drove through Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia (barely), Pennsylvania and finally the NJ.

My favorite part of the drive was Indianapolis. I got to see LUCAS OIL Stadium with my own eyes, then went to the nearest store and got myself a Peyton Manning Jersey. This Colt's season will be a good one with this baby on!


We arrived yesterday- and our moving truck isn't here yet, so we spent the first night on the floor in sleeping bags. It was fun.

Here are some pictures of our currently empty apartment.

The front room/entry way/ dining area

The front room and Paul talking on the phone to cousin Kurt. 
 The front room
 The kitchen, and the only bit color in the apartment, the lovely yellow cabinets :)
 The kitchen storage area
 The view from our front room window (I didn't want to go outside in the rain to get a pic of the outside, so this gives you an idea).
 The stairs
 The bathroom
 The 2nd bedroom
 The bedroom

I think it will be real nice, and as you noticed there is a second bedroom, so we have lots of room for visitors! :)

I miss my family already, but Paul and I are both excited about this new adventure. The ward seems super nice, which will help the loneliness. I'm just glad to have my best friend here with me. :)
