Our first month in Idaho

After 2 long days of driving Quinn and I finally arrived in Idaho. We finished packing up our house at 6pm, and drove to our families house to load up a few more things and to say our goodbyes. One of the toughest goodbyes I have ever said! We got on the road by 10:30 pm, and reached salt lake by 6 am. Long night!! After Quinn took out half of Andreas tree in her yard, we left and drove the rest of the way. And got to our new home in Meridian Idaho. We had the most warm welcome as we got to our house, the Haslems were anxiously waiting for us,with dinner in hand, to help us unload our massive truck load. That week we worked hard to not only unload, but paint the whole house as well. And of course the whole Haslem clan was there monday night for Family Home Evening to help us paint. What a family!

We gutted the backyard and finished our painting, and it now feels like home for us. Our next task was finding jobs. Now moving here was a big leap of faith and so finding jobs took a lot of faith! After 3 weeks of searching and sleepless nights, Quinn was finlally blessed with a job, and a good one at that. He is now working for Verizion wireless. Something he loves and will do amazing at. I am still looking for a temperary job that I can finish the rest of my pregnancy off with. We are so grateful to be here in Idaho, it's a beautiful place and has been a wonderful thing for our new little family. Were excited to now keep you guys all updated on our lives even if we all can't be together in one place. We miss you all and are so blessed to be surrounded and supported by such amazing and wonderful people. See Ya'll soon!!!!!!
