We're not in Kansas anymore...or Vegas

This past weekend we made the final trek from Vegas to St. George. I was so excited. I woke up several times Friday. I felt like a kid on Christmas Eve. I took the shuttle to Vegas and we finished up the few things we could get into the U-haul. Brant got a U-haul that was way too small for the amount of stuff we had. Needless to say, lots of stuff got left. I guess that is a good excuse to go back and visit.

It's funny how you can look forward to something so much, you often overlook the things you're going to miss when they're gone. Rhonda, my mother-in-law is such an amazing grandmother. She has the patience of Job. In addition to watching my children--all 3 and under--she also takes care of Heather's daughter Isabella who is 5 months younger than Lane. It's practically like two sets of twins. Not only does she keep them alive, she has a schedule that includes meals, snacks, story time, and activities. She still cleans the house like a madwoman and manages to take a college course once a week. Not to mention, that a day never goes by without her studying her scriptures. And she gets dressed, puts her makeup on, and does her hair. She's definitely a superwoman. It's been so fun getting to know her over the past few years. I think of all the things I am going to miss it will be having her around so much. There are not many people who can say their mother-in-law is one of their best friends. We've already planned trips to spend holidays together. One thing that is nice about our move is we are close enough to visit often.

We both have been dying to go to the Shakespearean Festival in Cedar City so that a definite must. I have only been through the temple for one year now. Rhonda and I used to go to the temple almost every week before I moved to St. George. We decided we can go together when she comes to St. George to visit.

The kids are having a blast. I think they think we are on vacation. Although, last night Porter decided he wanted me and Brant to be Grandma and Grandpa. He said Madison is his Mom. I think he misses Grandma and Grandpa.
