Move to MIAMI

Quick!  Let's move to Miami.  

May 11th - Lane flew to Miami to explore a new opportunity.

May 13th - Lane calls Carolyn about moving to Miami in the next few weeks.

                (Here's where Carolyn vacations w/ Britni for 8 days & Lane visits Linc)

May 23rd - Rent the moving truck.

May 24th - Search online for an apartment.

May 26th - Load truck over the weekend and drive away.

May 30th - arrive in Miami

May 31st - Unload into our apartment.

Good bye San Moritz 2 bedroom apartment

This place had a huge kitchen

(and even more drawers than our Trimble Creek home).

A little nitch for sewing/crafts/gift wrapping

We won't miss the 43 step 3rd floor walk-up.

We'll be too busy missing these fun g'kids...

and grown kids...

(Tom doesn't have to look so happy.)

...more great family that we already miss.

Making our way east across the plain states

before turning southeast (and breaking the trailer hitch - "Carolyn").

A stop in Georgia for a years supply of pecans.

Only 8 more hours...

The final gas stop before dropping the trailer off at Home Depot.

We get a sneak peek at our new 'home'.  

One day later...

Always toting around too much stuff.

Heat country!

Perfectly located across from the pool.

I love it!

quickly settled in  

June 3rd - Carolyn flys back to Utah for Callie's baby watch.
(Bless her heart for waiting.  She's one week overdue.)

What a crazy 3 weeks!!!
(And there is more where that came from.)

MAY 2014

SPRING is my favorite season!

A season for BYU Women's Conference with these beautiful ladies.

May 1st & 2nd.

A once in a lifetime event to see my G'pa, Shelby Otho Creek's, 

engine get back on track. May 3rd.

May 12th ~ Raylie celebrates turning 4! 

(party on the 10th)

Lane takes a trip to Miami on the 11th to look into a business opportunity.  

He calls me on the 13th, "Hey, do you want to move to Miami this month?!"

He stops by the newly dedicated Ft Lauderdale temple and sends me this photo.

Raylie's dance concert is May 13th, Hunter HS.  

I begin sharing the news that we are moving to Florida.  It seems unreal.

May 14th I fly to visit the Hansens, spending time coating the 

patio with paint...and stumbling over a bicycle.  Major handlebar bruise.

Backyard picnic's are my favorite!

Lane flys home through Indy to seeLincoln, during a visit from Greg.

I stay on in Lake Stevens for 

Dalia's baptism, Rock's 3rd b-day and Violet Jean's blessing.

Mr & Mrs Robison came too!

 A great team in the kitchen...

I love being a g'ma!

Back home in Midvale at Ava's spring concert.

I am racing to finish an afghan for Sophie.  

Here is Callie at her baby shower hosted by her neighbors, May 24th.

(The same day we rent the moving van.)

Quite a month...again.  

Never a dull moment with Lane.  I love it!
