Hello Friends and Family!
Well, we've finally moved out of Louisville, KY and are now in our new home in Belmont (Boston), MA! We absolutely love it here and really feel that we belong here, that we were meant to be here.
The past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic, but exciting. Matt graduated from Dental School with his friends on May 9 and it really was a wonderful ceremony, particularly since both sets of parents could be there as well. We had a wonderful weekend all together and celebrated at Ruth's Chris after Graduation which was a divine treat!
The following week was crazy since we had to pack up our home, clean it etc. Matt loaded our truck on Thursday while I cleaned the inside (thanks to Jessica C. for helping watch my kiddos!). It really is exhausting as I'm sure you all very well know! Matt left for Boston the next morning and I waited until Sat. evening when my mother arrived to drive with me. We stayed at the Morgan's for a couple of days before taking off and are so grateful to them for their kindness and the fun time we had all together!
My Mom and I drove with the kids and had a great time, stopping in Kirtland, OH and Palmyra, NY on the way. It really did feel like a Church History tour and, being Sunday, was very appropriate. It was such a wonderful opportunity to see the Sacred Grove and to explain it to Jacob in two-year-old terms.
We arrived in Boston late Sunday night and so stayed in a hotel. Mat was still up in Maine with his brother and so we saw him on Monday after a long weekend. After a couple of days of back-breaking work, cleaning, unpacking, our house was functional. My Mom stayed with the kids while Matt and I took off to NYC for a pre-residency trip and it was a blast! We saw a lot and yet felt like we saw little, the city is so huge! The highlights were the World Trade Center museum and ground zero, seeing the Statue of Liberty from Battery Park, walking through Central Park, eating at the famous Carnegie Deli, eating at The View at the top of the Marquis Marriot in Times Square where we were staying (awesome location, by the way!) and seeing Wicked on Broadway which Matt loved. I really think I loved it even more the second time and Elphaba's voice was AMAZING.
So now we are home and although are loving our new life here on the East Coast, really miss and love all our friends. We hope you are all having good luck in your moves, unpacking, meeting your wards and new friends etc.
We love you!

Sounds like you guys had a great time moving. Glad you were able to have a pre-residency vacation - I hope you enjoyed it! Good luck in Boston.
Congrats on being (mostly) finished! What a huge milestone. And glad you guys survived the move to Boston :) If you're ever plan on coming down to the DC area, you better give us a call :)
I am so glad that you guys got there safely and had fun on the way as well!!! I have been missing you guys and have been thinking about you. I'm glad that we had a few opportunities to hang out and say goodbye (actually just see you later)! Your house looks darling. I love how much natural light there is. And it looks like you and Matt had a great time in NY. What an awesome treat. You will never forget that time. Just think...after the next four years you will be able to treat yourselves to trips like that much more often! It will be worth all the hard times. I will give you a call soon. We love you guys!
How exciting heading onto a new adventure in Boston! We'll have to come out and visit sometime! It is bitter sweet to leave and move to a new place! I hear you on the packing, moving, and unpacking. We now finally only have a few boxes left to unpack! I love New York!!! Looks like you had a great time! That was so nice of your mom to watch your kids for you and Matt! I'll call you soon, it's been forever since we've talked! Email me if you have changed your number. Ours is still the same! Good luck with everything!
