After a ton of interviews and almost buying some practices that just weren't right for us, Chase accepted a job in Arizona. I am so glad we were able to spend all summer with our families. It was so fun to see Mason and his relationship with his grandparents, aunts/uncles and cousins. I also stored up time so I can stand being away for a few months! I can't say I was thrilled to move to Arizona during the hottest time of the year while 7 1/2 months pregnant but I was so grateful to have a job and for Chase to start working.
So we loaded up the truck with our few belongings and my parents were so nice to drive our car with us!
I debated about driving or flying and decided I needed to see how Mason would do to see if we would be doing it again anytime soon. Mason was awesome! He did great the whole time, happy to watch the road, movies and eat snacks. He got to share the backseat with Boxer who slept the whole time. We stayed over in Las Vegas and in Phoenix since our house and trailer wasn't ready until Monday morning. We had fun swimming at our hotel in Phoenix in the heat!
We arrived! Chase did all the house hunting while he was here for interviews and he did a great job picking the house! It's in a great neighborhood and a great location near a lot of shopping! I love that we have grass in the front and backyard and I LOVE the space and storage in the kitchen! I love that the floors don't squeak and there are no stairs to worry about Mason! And we love the carpet instead of laminate floors everywhere in our old house. We have lots of room to play!
The trailer with all of our stuff we hadn't seen in quite a while! The plan was for Chase and my dad to unload things slowly and start putting things together, but they were animals and just couldn't stop and they unloaded the whole thing! We were contacted by the Elder's Quorum and they had people coming to help at 5:00 so we had to call them off. (The owners of the house are members.) It was so nice to have my parents here to help unpack. Even when they thought they weren't doing much, it helped so much to entertain Mason so I could put things away. We've been here for 2 weeks and I wish I could say it's all done but the fun of organizing in a new house has worn off and I'm waiting for more motivation but it's starting to feel like home anyway!
