the big summer move

Well Randy and I have moved down to Phoenix! We will be here through the end of August. Randy has a summer internship with a construction company, McCarthy Builders. He will be working in their office doing estimating. Today is his first day of work! Hope everything is going well for him!

Let me rewind and tell you a story about our move down. Randy's uncle lives down in Phoenix and so graciously offered to let us live with him and his wife for the summer and so we decided to take them up on it. We put almost all of our stuff in storage and only took down clothes, toiletries, and baby stuff. I wasn't really worried about the stuff we were taking to Arizona not fitting in our car, I was worried the storage unit was going to  be too small and all our stuff wouldn't fit inside of it.

Well it happens that the storage unit fit everything pretty nicely (meaning we fit everything inside and used all of the space)

And the morning we checked out of our apartment and were packing the car for Phoenix, we realized that not everything was going to fit. I knew we needed all the baby stuff (car seat and stroller, pack'n play, baby swing, box of baby clothes and blankets,etc) and did not know what we could do to make it all fit. Randy was doing his thang and maneuvering stuff in the car many different ways to try and make it work and eventually we got all of our stuff, plus all the baby stuff minus the baby swing... it was just too big. Luckily since it was still in it's box we decided we cold return it (it was a gift given to me by my boss) and then buy it back once we were in Arizona. So for the 10 min drive down to the wal-mart I had this huge box on my lap that was spilling over into Randy's seat. It was quite hilarious and delayed our trip just a bit.

Once we got the swing returned, I was able to stick the gift card in my purse and sit comfortably (much easier to travel with for the 9 1/2 hr drive)


We got all settled here in Phoenix and that Monday was our 2 year anniversary! Randy and I went to see Captain America in the movie theater, ate lunch out, and  explored the town. It is crazy to think it has been 2 years since we got married and that in just 3 weeks we will be welcoming another member into our family.
Randy has been the best husband and i'm sure he will be the best father too!
