Come What May and Love It

Boy, that week sure passed by quickly. I am THANKFUL to be home, and that we had a SAFE trip. We got Amanda and Camryn moved to Chandler, AZ without too much trouble. The ride down was done in two days, and Roger got his "fix" in Mesquite at the slots. We saw the new Indiana Jones movie Saturday night, and got up early Sunday, and headed out for AZ. We had to go down through Laughlin, because with the loaded trailer, they would not have let us go over Hoover Dam. The road between Wikieup and Wickenburg has been improved over the past 10 years (the first time we went down) and it is almost ALL a divided highway, which is much more safe. We pulled into Chandler about 2:30pm, and had everything unloaded by 3:30. The weather was JUST RIGHT. They have been having the coolest weather for the end of May (70-80's), that it is breaking "cool" records. The apartment is nice, and in a nice area. It is on the bottom floor, and Zac and Roger were happy about that :) I was able to deliver Landon's birthday package to Elder Toolson's parents, who are going to Peru to pick him up this weekend. We had dinner with Camryn that night, and also Therese and Mitch. We ate at Texas Roadhouse (Yum).

We left for home EARLY Monday morning to drive straight home, and Zac wanted to go over the dam this time. Since our trailer was empty, we did, and it was awesome as usual. The most amazing thing, was seeing the new road/bridge they are building to by-pass the dam. Check it out here. On the way home,near Provo, our alternator went out on the truck. This caused a 4-hour delay, while we fixed it in a parking lot near UVSC. We finally arrived home about 9:30 pm. We are so grateful that Zac went with us. Probably not the best way to spend his Memorial Day weekend, but Amanda sure appreciated it - and so did Roger's back and knees :)

Roger has the week off, but I've been to work. Still not finished with the assessment roll, but I'm working hard. Manda called today, and after 3 interviews on Tuesday and Wednesday, she was offered TWO JOBS !! She has accepted one of them, and will start on Monday. It is near her home, working for a group of ophthalmologists. I'm not surprised she was hired so fast, she is such a hard worker, and so smart and capable. Camryn is adjusting without too much trouble. She will start at the same pre-school/day care that she attended when she was down there last summer on Monday. Well, that's about it for the week.
