It has been way too long since we updated our family page!  So much has happened to our little family.  At the beginning of August, we sold our house in Woods Cross, loaded up a moving van, and drove it across the country to our new home in Springfield, Massachusetts.  It was a trip that took about a week, and if we never see another yellow moving van again, we'll be okay.  Jack was a trooper on the trip - thank goodness for portable DVD players!  We were able to stop and spend a day in Nauvoo, which was a highlight of our trip.  Another highlight of the trip was when our two cats chewed through their BRAND NEW cloth cat carriers and started climbing around the car.  We had to stop at the busiest WalMart known to man in Pennslyvannia and buy them new, hard plastic carriers.  Let's just say that the kitty Benadryl the vet gave me did NOTHING for our little felines.
Since we've been in Massachusetts, we've gotten to do some pretty interesting things.  We got here a week or so before I started Law School and a few weeks before Brice started teaching, so we went to New Jersey to see our friends that moved there a year ago from Woods Cross - the Teeples family.  It was so fun!  They just had the cutest twin boys a month ago, and we hadn't gotten to see them yet.  We also went into New York City for the day, because the Teeples live about 45 minutes from the city.
We have also been to the beach in Rhode Island, and yesterday we went and spent the day in Boston.  We have a great ward, and there is a lot of opportunity to share the gospel.  Those opportunities come about in funny ways, however.  When we pulled up with our moving van, all of our new neighbors came out to meet us.  They found out we were from Utah, and of course wanted to know if we were Mormon.  Their next question was if we were polygamists!  It must have looked funny - Brice, Me, my sister Megan (who came with us to be our nanny), and Jack.  Two women, one man - hysterical!
We hope you enjoy the pictures!

That is hillarious about the polygamist question, especially with sweet Megan there!! I am so glad to see that you made it to the beach and to Boston!! How fun! I want to see Boston again, so we do need to come down and visit you guys. I love the pic with you and me. We missed you guys at the Real S.L. game :( I hope Brice is feeling better. Love you lots!
