Diana and I worked like crazy moving all of our stuff. We left a lot at Aunt Louise's house in Orem and then packed as much as we could in the jeep. That jeep was literally packed so that there was absolutely no room for ANYTHING else! We had to use extreme caution every time we opened a door. But by some miracle, everything fit. We were sad to leave our first apartment together but are excited for the summer in Georgia.
We left on Sunday and drove for three days to Georgia. We had such a great time! We kept entertained by playing 20 questions, listening to Harry Potter 4, and having great conversation! On Monday night we made it to Nauvoo and stayed at the Motel Nauvoo. We got the cheapest room but it was so cold that when we asked for another room, they put us in a really sweet huge room with a bigger bed. We were so excited! The next morning we did a session in the beautiful Nauvoo temple and then spent a few hours seeing all of the sites. We loved it. We then went to Carthage and took a tour of the jail. It was definitely worth the drive to be able to visit these places, especially since Diana just took a Church History class and learned all about Nauvoo and Carthage.
After Carthage, we drove till 2 A.M. so we could get close to Atlanta. We only had about 4 hours to sleep because we had to go sign lease papers in the morning, so we decided to just sleep in the car. So we found a nice hotel and just parked in the parking lot. After getting comfortable, it really wasn't bad at all. We both slept great. At 5 A.M., however, we got a knock on the window and I about jumped out of my seat I was so scared! It was a security guard. He told us we had to move. So we moved to the Cracker Barrell parking lot, slept for another hour, and were on our way.
We made it to Atlanta and went to see our new place. It's awesome!!! It's got a great view and is so perfect for us. We signed the lease papers and then finally made it down to Columbus. It's so nice to finally be here. We're going to have such a fun summer!
