Moving to Dallas

Two days after we got back from Utah, we loaded up the moving van again and headed off to Dallas with my two sisters in tow to help with Isaac.  Isaac wasn't a huge fan of being stuck in his carseat for 5 1/2 hours, but his Aunts Allie and Sarah were amazing at keeping him happy for the most part!  He pretty much lost it about 30 minutes before we pulled into our complex.

I don't know how we would've done it without my two sisters!  They were so great about playing with him so Andy and I could focus on getting things unpacked!  And they were great about helping us unpack and going shopping with me for the million and one things we seemed to need to get a new apartment up and running!

Friday night my parents headed down to help us with the last little bit and to pick up my sisters.  The number one thing on our list was to hit up Ikea the next day... and man did we!  After 4 hours of shopping we successfully found bookshelves, chairs, spice storage, and various other doo-dads and gizmos.

Then came Andy's favorite part of moving in... assembling the furniture!  Isaac was a big help with all of this!



Sometimes... it's too hot for clothes and we just need to sit and read a book.



We honestly LOVE it here in Dallas and can't imagine living anywhere else!  Our ward is amazing (and about half of them are young families who live fairly close to us)!  Our complex is within walking distance of a couple grocery stores, so if I get feeling cooped up, we'll head over to the grocery store for a walk.  And my favorite part... once a month our complex gets a bunch of food truck to come to the club house and we go get dinner there. Oh how I love that day!

  1. We're happy you're here too! We've never eaten at the food truck thing! We'll have to try it sometime.

  2. If they have it again in September we'll have to go together! We'll bring our picnic blanket and some toys and then the two kiddos can play with each other while we (try to) eat!
